LAB TEST RESULTS

What Our Under-Sink Filters Remove From Tap Water

You deserve to know what your water filter is doing for you. All of our products have been independently tested to comply with the rigorous NSF/ANSI standards by accredited laboratories. We want to ensure we have you covered no matter how bad a contamination problem may get.

Testing of this filter system was performed by QFT, a lab now operating as IAPMO New Jersey, a division of IAPMO, an independent ISO 17025 certified laboratory that is capable of testing following NSF/ANSI protocols. All testing occurred under controlled laboratory conditions. Sample contaminants were prepared, measured and run through the filter. The filter results presented are the maximum removal percentage. Not all contaminants that were tested had established NSF/ANSI protocols at the time testing was performed. Actual performance may vary based on local water conditions. Not all contaminants may be present in users drinking water. System is designed for use with municipally treated tap water. Filter is not designed for use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality. Individuals with unknown water quality should follow the advice of local health authorities with regards to water treatment.

Perfluorinated Chemicals (PFAS)

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) make up a group of man-made chemicals that do not break down in the environment. These chemicals are used in hundreds of consumer products because of their non-stick properties, including Teflon®, food packaging, clothing, carpet, furniture fabric, and firefighting foam.

Phthalates

Phthalates are chemicals added to plastics, paints, and medical supplies to increase flexibility and improve durability. These endocrine disruptors can leach into your water and result in damage to the liver, kidneys, lungs, and reproductive system.

Radiological Elements
Radiation is the emission of energy that can affect the molecular structure of organisms. Radiation is released by a group of naturally occurring elements, including uranium, radium, strontium, plutonium, cesium, and thorium. More than 12 different radioactive elements have been found in U.S. tap water, but they can’t be seen, smelled, or tasted.

Semi-Volatile Compounds

Semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) are a subgroup of volatile organic compounds (VOC). Unlike most VOCs, SVOCs are odorless and harder to detect. Some examples of products that include SVOCs are many pesticides, oil-based products, and fire retardants. Most SVOCs can lead to cancer, reproductive disorders, nervous system damage, and immune system disruption.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are organic chemicals released by a broad range of industrial, agricultural, and household products, including paint thinners, solvents, fertilizers, and gasoline that are quick to convert to a gas or vapor form. Long-term exposure to VOCs may lead to cancer or damage to the liver, kidney and central nervous system.
