Why Certification for Your New Whole House Filter is Essential

Why Certification for Your New Whole House Filter is Essential

Purchasing a whole house filter for your home is a big investment.

You need to be completely sure that what you are buying will do exactly what the manufacturer or company claims it will do. The only way this can really happen is through UL and NSF certification. Without UL and NSF certification any claims made by a whole house filter company are open to question. You need to know exactly what you are spending your hard-earned dollars for. With certification you will.

There are lots of companies that belong to the Water Quality Association. This is merely a trade group allowing its members to say they have a certification. This certification does not fully comply with the highest standards set in the filtration industry. They do not ask for enough data from these whole house filter producers to assure valid performance claims.

Underwriters Laboratories (UL) certification is essentially the most demanding certification that a whole house filter company can achieve.

As an alternative choice to merely running a one-time check, Underwriters Laboratories has subjected the Aquasana Rhino EQ-300 whole house filter system to rigorous quality controls and continual inspections for 3 years. This guarantees that the system you purchase from us is as good as the one which was examined in UL testing laboratories.

Many whole house filter companies…

will declare they have “certified components” for their whole house filters to keep away from the excessive cost of UL testing. This only says that the carbon, KDF and different parts used inside their system had been individually certified.

“Certified components” on a non-standardized filter system proves nothing about the design of the system such as the right quantity of the filtration media, correct water circulation through the media, and the careful arrangement of the levels of the filtration media.

Watch out for this underhanded practice on any low priced whole house filter that our competition is putting on the market. Why spend your hard earned money on an unproven reproduction of the Aquasana Rhino EQ-300 whole house filter system when you can own the real thing.
