NSF Certification
NSF certified means that Multipure meets established National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and/or American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standards and/or State Certification requirements.
Our Systems have been tested and verified and we comply with NSF/ANSI standards.
When our Drinking Water System is certified the requirements are..
That the claims are true, that our system is structurally sound, that our advertising is not misleading.
We are tested yearly to assure that the materials and manufacturing process does not change.
Meaning of terms
NSF/ANSI 42 and NSF/ANSI 53 - these standards are primarily for products that function in adsorption and filtration covering a wide range of contaminant reductions. Carbon filters are an example of these types of products. NSF/ANSI 42 covers aesthetic reduction claims while NSF/ANSI 53 covers health-related reduction claims
NSF/ANSI 58 - this standard covers reverse-osmosis (RO) systems that use reverse pressure to reduce a wide variety of contaminants through a semi-permeable membrane. These types of systems will often also include carbon pre and/or post-filters.
