General Use Conditions
Read this Performance Data Sheet and compare the capabilities of this unit with your actual water treatment needs.
DO NOT use this product where water is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. System certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.
USE ONLY WITH COLD WATER SUPPLY. CHECK FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATE AND LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
System tested and certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI Std 42 for the reduction of Chlorine Taste and Odor, Particulate Class I and against NSF/ ANSI 53 for the reduction of Cysts, Turbidity,Asbestos, Mercury, Lead, Benzene,
The AquaClean™ retractable water filtration system uses an AFF3 replacement cartridge. Timely replacement of filter cartridge is essential for performance satisfaction from this filtration system. Please refer to the applicable section of your Use and Care Guide for general operation, maintenance requirements and troubleshooting.
This system has been tested according to ANSI/NSF 42 and 53 for reduction of the substances listed above. 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 ANSI/NSF 42 and 53.
