 NATURE PURE® ULTRAFINET WATER PURIFIER PRODUCT DATASHEET - FOR MARINE/RV USE

Nature Pure® Ultrafine™ Drinking Water Purifiers

General Ecology presents data from testing specifically selected to demonstrate product effectiveness in removing those contaminants most frequently encountered in water supplies. Please note that all General Ecology test results represent performance using actual contaminants, not substitute surrogates which some companies submit.

This Performance Data Sheet shows some of the removal capabilities of the Nature Pure Ultrafine Water Purifiers. It is recommended that before purchasing a water treatment unit you have your water supply tested to determine your actual water treatment needs.

Test conditions: Important: In addition to direct testing on Nature Pure water purifiers, performance data also were collected from testing on SEAGULL®IV and FIRST NEED® water purifiers since all General Ecology water purifiers use the same "Structured Matrix" technology. The data are based on documented results from specific testing and are generally regarded as indicative of the effectiveness to be expected but are not specific claims of performance.
