Certification and claim scope
One row per target in PurityMap's evidence register. Eligible means a current certification record for this exact product covers that target, checked in the certifier's registry within the last 90 days. Not established always comes with the reason.

Not suitable for
- Treating every tap in the home
- A whole-home hard-water or scale problem
- All PFAS: its evidence covers only the compounds it names
- Anyone who can't plumb, drill or hire an installer
- Renters who can't modify plumbing
Test first
- Plumbing inside a home can add lead that the system record can't show. A tap test tells you what reaches your glass.
- A tap test can confirm levels at your home before you choose treatment.
Installation, ownership, and maintenanceCapacity and upkeep are planning figures from the product record, not guarantees. Actual replacement timing depends on use, influent water, flow, and manufacturer instructions.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Needs adequate incoming water pressure; a booster pump may be required in low-pressure homes.
- Arsenic III may need pre-oxidation to arsenic V for full reduction.
- Needs a dedicated faucet (drilling)
- Produces some brine wastewater
- Needs under-sink space
No filter treats every water problem. This analysis does not replace household testing, installation requirements, or the manufacturer’s current performance data sheet.
