performance data sheet PERFORMANCE DATA SHEET FOR MODELS WCH-1000 and WCH-1500 CONTAMINANT REMOVAL DATA IMPORTANT NOTICE: Read this Performance Data Sheet and compare the capabilities of this unit with your actual water treatment needs. It is recommended that, before purchasing a water treatment unit, you have your water supply tested to determine your actual water treatment needs. Performance testing conducted by WQA. These systems have been tested according to NSF/ ANSI Standard 53 and 42 for reduction of the substances listed below. The concentration of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for the water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI Standard 53 and Standard 42. Testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions; actual performance may vary. Removal Removal Action Level Hardness Temp Inlet Substance Influent Water Avg.
