Seagull®
IV Water Purifiers- Product Data Sheet 
for United States Standards
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.
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.

- No electricity is required.
- Flow rate and capacity will depend on operation conditions and source water characteristics.
- The cartridge should be replaced annually, when the flow rate drops to an inconvenient level or if tastes and odours should become evident.
- Intended for cold water use.
- Intended for fresh water use only. Does not desalinate.

Test conditions : All tests were conducted
under standard operating conditions as previously stated for rated capacity
of cartridge.
Performance Notice: These 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. Performance may vary due to water characteristics and system operating conditions.
