*If result is lower than LOR (limit of recording), analyte is undetectable.

**Tested in accordance with section 7.2.5 of NSF/ANSI 53 - 2022. The system shall reduce the arithmetic mean of the influent concentrations of chloroform at 300 +/- 30 μg/L at each sample point by at least 95%.

Results vary depending on the source water. All testing is done in accordance with NSF Standards 42, 53, 401 and in accordance with the European standard DIN EN 17093:2018 for drinking water quality and the reduction of chemicals and contaminants. All reduction percentages indicate the maximum filtration capacity of each product based on the rated lifespan of the filter.
