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.
