Does your filter do what it claims to do? Advice for Zenith Water product users

There is a growing trend of water filters in the market that claim to be compatible for use with Zenith Water products, including the Zenith HydroTap.

When choosing a water filter for your Zenith product, you need to ensure that it is certified to removing contaminants in your water.

These are the THREE things we consider you should look for when choosing a water filter:

1. Only buy water filters which have a WaterMark – which is the mandatory certification scheme for plumbing and drainage products. It ensures that products being installed by licensed plumbers comply with the Plumbing Code and the relevant Australian and New Zealand standards.
2. Check that the WaterMark is certified to AS/NZS 3497:1998
3. If a performance claim is being made (such as reduction of cysts), make sure it is also tested and verified to AS/NZS 4348:1995 – this relates to performance testing – it is specific to filters, and it certifies and verifies that your filter will reduce impurities and potentially harmful contaminants.

You can check if your filter meets both standards by looking at the Performance Data Sheet that is required to be supplied with the filter.

Along with WaterMark certifications, the filtration systems from Zenith Water are certified to NSF standards, to prove that our filters reduce a particular set of contaminants from drinking water.

Zenith's MicroPurity filters will reduce impurities and potentially harmful contaminants larger than 0.2 microns in size – an impurity that small will fit 250 times into a strand of hair.

Our filters are certified to reduce chlorine, taste, odour, bacteria, sediment and limescale in line with NSF 42 (aesthetic effects) and Watermark requirements. Zenith MicroPurity filtration is also certified to deliver a reduction of 99.9% of cysts including cryptosporidium and giardia, 98.9% of lead 8.5 and 99.3% of lead 6.5 to NSF 53 (health effects).
