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 Seagull IV 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 :
All tests were conducted under standard operating
conditions as previously stated for rated capacity
of cartridge/module. 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.
