Filter is only to be used 
with cold water. 
Filter usage must comply 
with all state and local laws.
Testing was performed under standard laboratory 
conditions, actual performance may vary. 
Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on 
disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts. 
See owner’s manual for general installation conditions 
and needs plus manufacturer’s limited warranty.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically 
unsafe or of unknown water quality without 
adequate disinfection before or after the system.
Testing Performed under NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53 and in accordance with the California Department of Health Services Drinking Water 
Treatment Device Program. This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 401 & P473 for reduction of the substances listed 
below. The concentration of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the 
permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 401 & P473.
• All contaminants reduced by this filter are listed. 
• Not all contaminants listed may be present in your water. 
• Does not remove all contaminants that may be present in 
tap water.
