Testing performed by Envirotek Laboratories an independent NELAC & ANSI accredited laboratory EPA-ID#: NJ01298. www.enviroteklab.com 856-583-0045. All tests were conducted in a controlled laboratory environment. Not all of the contaminants tested will be in your tap water. Check your water quality report or have your own testing performed to determine what contaminants are in your local area. Filter system is intended for use with municipally treated tap water. Challenge water was spiked with contaminants per NSF Standards 42, 53, 244, 401 & 473, or applicable EPA Standards. Some contaminants such as microplastics are new do not yet have an established standard. All contaminants were reduced to permissible limits as set by NSF.
