THIS IS WHY NSF CERTIFICATION IS IMPORTANT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The NSF is a non-profit organization dedicated to analyzing and testing products for safety and quality<\/em>. “NSF” stands for “National Sanitation Foundation<\/em>” and they are known world wide as a consumer-advocate organization that you can rely on for safety in food and water products.<\/p>\n

If it is “NSF Certified” or has the NSF logo on it you know it’s a quality product that has been tested and certified.<\/p>\n

That said, not all “NSF Certified” products are equally good or of equal quality.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take water filters for example:
\n One water filter might be NSF Certified for only “Standard 42” which only addresses “aesthetic” concerns such as smell and taste.<\/em> Often some less than professional water filter companies push their filter as NSF Certified and prey on the ignorant consumer who doesn’t realize that NSF Certified for Standard 42 means only that, for example, it has been certified to reduce chlorine and chloramine. While it is good to reduce these contaminants, it is not nearly enough to make a water filter worth buying and using.<\/p>\n

So the most important NSF Certifications where water filters are concerned is Standard 53 and the new NSF Standard 401. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Standard 53 is the NSF Certification that deals with various contaminants of health concern.
