On paper this system is compliant, but the EPA record shows 16 violations — mostly missed testing or reporting. What isn't measured can't be caught.
The Total Coliform Rule tracks coliform bacteria — an indicator that disease-causing organisms could be getting into the water.

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.
