Base Grille Water Filtration System
Tested and certified by NSF International against ANSI/NSF Standard 42 for the reduction of Chlorine Taste and Odor, Particulate Class II*; and against ANSI/NSF Standard 53 for the reduction of Lead, Mercury, Benzene, Toxaphene,
This system has been tested according to ANSI/NSF 42/53 for the 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 ANSI/NSF 42/53.
