Effectively Removes: bacteria, viruses, protozoa (i.e. Giardia and Cryptosporidium), colloids (fine insoluble particles held in suspension), silt (granular material), and organic high-molecular-weight molecules (vast range of substances from simple sugars to complex DNA).

Does NOT Remove: dissolved salts/ ions, minerals (calcium, magnesium), fluoride, sugars, or very low molecular weight organic compounds (pesticides, herbicides, disinfection byproducts, chemicals, etc).

Unlike a reverse osmosis processes, the UF membrane retains essential minerals in the water, resulting in no water taste change. This is where passing water through filtration media adsorb additional impurities and improves the overall taste of your water.
