To ensure that the purifier operates at its BEST, a routine maintenance must be performed. The
frequency of the maintenance will greatly depend upon the raw water quality and consumption of
purified water.

The replacement time of consumables such as filters and membrane is dependent
on the quality of raw water and water consumed.

“This system has been tested for the treatment of water containing pentavalent arsenic (also known as As (V), As
(+5), or arsenate) at concentrations of [0.050 mg/L or 0.30 mg/L] or less. This system reduces pentavalent arsenic
but may not remove other forms of arsenic. This system is to be used on water supplies containing detectable free
chlorine residual or on water supplies that have been demonstrated to contain only pentavalent arsenic.
Treatment with chloramines (combined chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete conversion of trivalent
arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts section of the performance data sheet for further
information”.

Arsenic Facts

Arsenic (As) is a naturally occurring contaminant found in many ground waters. It generally occurs in two forms
(valences or oxidation states): pentavalent arsenic (also known as As(V), As(+5), or arsenate) and trivalent
arsenic (also known as As(III), As(+3), or arsenite). In natural ground water, arsenic may exist as trivalent arsenic,
pentavalent arsenic, or a combination of both. Although both forms of arsenic are potentially harmful to
human health, trivalent arsenic is considered more harmful than pentavalent arsenic. More information about
arsenic and its toxicity can be found on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency website at
http://www.epa.gov/safewater/arsenic.html.

This system is designed to remove only pentavalent arsenic. This treatment system does not provide a feature for
conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. The system may remove some trivalent arsenic, however, it
has not been evaluated for its ability to remove trivalent arsenic.

Trivalent arsenic is generally more difficult to remove from drinking water than pentavalent arsenic. Trivalent
arsenic can be converted to pentavalent arsenic in the presence of an effective oxidant such as free chlorine. The
arsenic in water containing detectable free chlorine or that has been treated with another effective oxidant will be in
the pentavalent arsenic form.4 Treatment with chloramine (combined chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete
conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic.

Consumers using public water supplies can contact their utility to verify whether free chlorine treatment chemicals
are being used. Private water supplies and waters that do not have detectable free chlorine residuals should be
analyzed to determine the form(s) of arsenic present and the potential need for oxidation of trivalent arsenic to
pentavalent arsenic.

Arsenic does not generally impart color, taste, or smell to water, therefore, it can only be detected by a chemical
analytical test. Public water supplies are required to monitor treated water for total arsenic (trivalent arsenic plus
pentavalent arsenic) and the results are available to the public from the utility. Consumers using private water
sources will need to make arrangements for testing. A total arsenic test usually costs about $15-$30 and it is
recommended the test be conducted by a certified laboratory. Local health departments or environmental
protection agencies can help provide consumers with a list of certified laboratories. Some laboratories may also be
able to analyze specifically for (speciate) the form(s) of arsenic present in a water sample if requested.

This treatment system was tested under laboratory conditions as defined in NSF/ANSI 58 Drinking Water

Treatment Units – Health Effects and was found to reduce 0.30 mg/L of pentavalent arsenic in the test water to less
than 0.010 mg/L under standard testing conditions. Actual performance of the system may vary depending on
specific water quality conditions at the consumer's installation. Following installation of this system, the consumer
should have the treated water tested for total arsenic to verify arsenic reduction is being achieved and the system
is functioning properly.

The arsenic removal component of this system must be replaced at the end of its useful life of 1-2 years. The
replacement component, 20010 SP Inline Sediment Filter 8",20009 SP Inline Carbon Filter 8", 20001 SP RO
