This system has 2 health-based violations on the EPA record — involving Coliform bacteria, Lead & Copper Rule. A limit meant to protect health, exceeded.
The Revised Total Coliform Rule tracks coliform bacteria — an indicator that disease-causing organisms could be getting into the water.

Health guidelines from independent scientists are often stricter. Results vary by home, plumbing and date.
NSF-58 certified under-sink RO — the only tech that broadly removes dissolved contaminants at the tap.
NSF-42 whole-house carbon cuts chlorine, chloramine and the pool-water taste.
Certified grab-and-go protection while you decide on the whole-home fix.
