Arsenic: due to the nature of Arsenic as being a very toxic and deadly element, it's rejection is not listed above. Although the RO system is the best known way to remove or reduce Arsenic from drinking water, we do not offer any guarantees on its removal whatsoever, because it all depends on the amount of Arsenic present in a particular water (and even small amounts can turn to be fatal). If interested in getting more information on the removal of Arsenic, please e-mail us and we would relay that information to you. |
