There are many thousands products on the market that claim to provide the consumer with the purest water available, everything from water filtration systems, water purifiers or distillation units to bottled water. That makes it difficult to evaluate the products, which often make competing or even contradictory statements. To find out which advertisements are nothing more than creative writing and which claims are accurate, the need for drinking water testing becomes apparent.
The testing and certifying of a product’s performance as well as its advertising accuracy can be done by reputable independent third parties. In doing so the consumer can be assured that the water company’s ads are not misleading and the product will perform as specified.
The major organization that provides independent certification for water purification is NSF International. NSF International is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that helps protect the consumer by certifying products and writing standards. For 60 years, NSF has been committed to public health, safety, and protection of the environment and is developing national standards and provides third-party conformity assessment services. NSF International is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ASNI) and has earned the Collaborating Center designations by the World Health Organization (WHO) for Food and Water Safety.
As the world’s biggest and most reputable Institute for water analysis, NSF certifies water filter systems and water purification devices, as done so with InnerLight’s Simply Pure System. NSF is testing, documenting and monitoring the entire production and manufacturing process of Simply Pure to guarantee consumer safety through several laboratory tests regarding the reduction of contaminants like lead, chlorine, mercury, PCB, asbestos, cysts/giardia, benzene, pesticides, chloroform etc.
Should you consider purchasing a home water filtration system, make sure to check for the NSF certificate! NSF also performs extensive product testing for over 150 inorganic, chemical, radiological and microbiological contaminants.
NOTE: A comprehensive comparison with other water filter systems and other valuable information you’ll find at NSF International’s website www.nsf.org, where many public safety related issues are discussed.
