Reverse Osmosis
Contaminant Removal List
Below is a list of
contaminants that a
reverse osmosis can
remove. Since NSF
and WQA do not provide
any certified detail
list, therefore, there
is no guarantee that
this list applies to any
particular reverse
osmosis brands or units.
If you are concern
about certain specific
contaminants in your
water, you should always
have your water tested
after the reverse
osmosis. |
