** Percent reduction reflects actual performance of Multi-Pure product as specifically tested (at 200% of capacity). Percent reduction shown for VOCs* reflects the allowable claims for Volatile Organic Chemicals/Compounds as per Tables. Chloroform was used as a surrogate for VOC reduction claims: the Multi-Pure Systems’ actual reduction rate of Chloroform was >99.8% as tested (at 2005 capacity).

Systems tested to ANSI/NSF Standard No. 42 to reduce:

Chloramine (as Monochloramine)as Aesthetic = 97%
Chlorine = 99%

Particulate, Class 1 Particles 0.5 to <1 um = Class 1->99%
