Water's Good

NSF Certification: Guaranteeing High-Quality Water

Posted On 11/04/2024 By iSpring Water Systems

Moreso now than ever, people are aware of the importance of water quality. Though many turn to bottled water to get exceptional drinking water, others use in-home water filtration systems to both save money and to be environmentally conscious. But, with so many options on the market and clever marketing strategies employed by companies, it is oftentimes difficult to discern what the true quality of the product is. 

Just because water is bottled or filtered, it does not mean it is truly high quality, contaminant-free water. To guarantee you are purchasing a superior water filtration system that does what it claims to do and produces the water you desire is to find one that is NSF-certified.

Understanding NSF Certification

The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) has dedicated 80 years to enhancing human and environmental health. Collaborating with public health officials and companies across over 100 countries, NSF develops and certifies public health standards to ensure the quality of products available to consumers.

For water filtration systems, NSF established drinking water standards over 50 years ago, continually evolving them to meet modern needs. An NSF certification assures consumers that a product complies with strict health and contaminant reduction criteria, verified by an unbiased third party. NSF tests eight point-of-use/point-of-entry (PUE/POE) standards, ensuring that certified systems effectively reduce contaminants in drinking water, providing peace of mind to users.

Additionally, NSF sets efficiency standards for certified products, promoting long-term savings, reduced maintenance, and positive environmental impacts through enhanced durability and optimal performance.

How to Verify NSF Certification for Water Filtration Products

To verify if the product is NSF certified, visit the official NSF International website at www.nsf.org and click on "Certified Products and Systems". Then you can enter the company name, such as "iSpring Water Systems" or simply "iSpring" to check for certification status. This will give you a complete list of all products that have received NSF certification.

This step is crucial for those who want to ensure they are investing in a product that meets the highest safety and quality standards. By choosing iSpring, you can rest assured that you are making a wise choice for your health and well-being.

What Makes iSpring Stand Out?
In a market saturated with water filtration products, it's important to understand what sets iSpring apart. While many brands claim NSF certification, they often focus on individual components, such as the RO membrane or certain materials. In contrast, iSpring takes a comprehensive approach to certification. We ensure that our entire water filtration systems undergo rigorous testing, which includes the Chemical Extraction Test, Cyclic Test, Hydrostatic Test, and TDS Reduction Test. This thorough testing process guarantees not only the material safety of our products but also their structural integrity. By adhering to these stringent standards, iSpring provides consumers with a superior drinking and water usage experience, ensuring that every drop is safe and clean.

iSpring: NSF Certified Water Filtration Solutions for Every Need

Among all the NSF-certified products we carry, one of the most popular types is a reverse osmosis (RO) system.

One of our best-selling systems is our RCC7AK. This system 

  1. is NSF/ANSI 58 certified and uses a six-stage alkaline reverse osmosis filter system, exclusively designed to restore the natural alkalinity and mineral balance of your water.
  2. employs an ultra-fine reverse osmosis water filter to remove contaminants down to 0.0001 microns.
  3. features a second-stage GAC filter and a third-stage carbon block filter to effectively eliminate chlorine, unpleasant tastes, odors, cloudiness, and sediment.
  4. uses a pressurized tank to ensure a stable water flow.
  5. produces up to 75 gallons of filtered water per day.
  6. can easily be connected directly to the refrigerator’s water supply for added convenience.

Our RCC7AK-UV is an all-in-one, under-the-sink RO system that

  1. is NSF/ANSI 58 certified and uses a seven-stage Alkaline Remineralization Layered Filtration, exclusively designed to restore the natural alkalinity and mineral balance of water
  2. employs an ultra-fine RO filter to remove contaminants down to 0.0001 microns
  3. uses an advanced 11-watt UV stage that provides comprehensive water purification
  4. employs a second-stage GAC filter and a third-stage carbon block filter to effectively eliminate chlorine, unpleasant tastes, odors, cloudiness, and sediment
  5. uses a pressurized tank to ensure a stable water flow
  6. produces up to 75 gallons of filtered water per day
  7. can be connected directly to the refrigerator’s water supply

Our RO500AK-BN is the next-generation, tankless reverse osmosis system. It also uses an alkaline RO filter system and

  1. is NSF 58 certified for TDS reduction and functions four times more efficiently than traditional reverse osmosis systems, providing a faster water flow and an industry-leading pure-to-waste ratio of up to 2.5:1, saving water waste by up to 400% compared to traditional RO systems.
  2. employees a first-stage two-in-one composite sediment and carbon block filter, a second-stage advanced reverse osmosis water filter, and a third-stage carbon alkaline filter. 
  3. restores the natural alkalinity and mineral balance of water.
  4. produces up to 500 gallons of filtered water per day.

Our WSPARJ-BP is a whole house prefilter that removes large particles and sediments. As the first line of defense, this filter helps protect your appliances and pipes as well as terminal equipment. This filter is ideal for those on a well. Additionally, this filter

  1. is certified lead-free under NSF/ANSI 372 standards, ensuring safer and cleaner water for your home.
