The advantages of the Coldstream Max:

• For good and safe drinking water
• Essential salts and electrolytes that contribute to good health remain in the filtered water.
• Highly effective chemical protection against a wide range of pollutants.
• Filter replacement indicator
• No power supply required

Sustainability:

We recommend replacing it every 6 months. Activated carbon, once the device is put into operation, has an effective duration of 6 months.

WHAT DOES THE CTO MAX CERAMIC WATER PURIFIER REMOVE FROM WATER?

Particulate matter

Up to 99.9% reduction in Class 1 particles, including microplastics.

Bacteria and cysts

Up to 99.9999% reduction in tested bacteria (Klebsiella terrigena) and 99.9% in cysts (Cryptosporidium spp.), based on independent laboratory tests at 3,000 and 4,500 liters.

Chemicals

Very high reduction of free chlorine and chloramine, as well as a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and chlorination by-products (THMs). Most of the VOCs tested are reduced to more than 99%, with a few specific compounds partially reduced

Heavy metals

Significant reduction of a wide range of heavy metals (aluminum, antimony, barium, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, etc.), with reduction levels often exceeding 90% and up to more than 99% depending on the metals and volumes tested.

Viruses

Up to 99.99% reduction in rotavirus, tested to NSF/ANSI P231 (at 3,000 and 4,500 liters)

Pesticides and herbicides

Very high reduction (typically >97% and up to 99.9%) on most pesticides and herbicides tested, including DDT and many other modern pesticides.

Medications

Very high reduction, often greater than 99–99.9%, on a wide range of pharmaceutical residues and hormones (BPA, ibuprofen, naproxen, steroid hormones, etc.).

Note on nitrates and fluoride

Laboratory tests on some configurations of CTO MAX cartridges (including CF504W/CF1075W) show a strong reduction in nitrates and nitrites up to several thousand liters. However, this cartridge is not presented as a specific treatment for nitrates or fluoride.

COLDSTREAM MAX WATER PURIFIER TESTING AND VERIFICATION:

Coldstream Max filters have undergone rigorous testing programs via an independent testing laboratory and independent audits without prior notice to ensure manufacturing compliance.

They have been successfully tested according to the following standards and methods:

• NSF/ANSI 42 Standard for Aesthetic Effects
• NSF/ANSI 53 Health Effects Standard
• NSF P231 for Microbiological Purifiers
• EPA Method 200.8 (USA) for the determination of the presence of metals and trace elements in water and waste
• EPA Method 505-2.1 (USA) for the Analysis of Organic Pesticides and Commercial Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) Products in Water
• EPA Method 508.1-2 (USA) for Chlorinated Pesticides, Herbicides and Organohalides in Water by GCECD
• EPA Method 515-2 (USA) for Chlorinated Acids
• EPA Method 524-2 (USA) for the Measurement of Organic Compounds Purging in Water
• EPA Method 525-2 (USA) for Organic Compounds in Drinking Water
• EPA Method MS301(a) (USA) An indicator strip-based colorimetric test for nitrates (NO3) in water and soil.

– Reduction of viruses (rotavirus) >99.99% at 3,000 and 4,500 L

– Reduction of bacteria (Klebsiella terrigena) >99.9999%

– Cyst reduction (Cryptosporidium) >99.9%

– Reduction of many heavy metals, VOCs, pesticides, drug residues, chlorine, etc. (see performance sheet for details)

? Recommended for maximum protection, even when the origin of the water is uncertain (disinfected cistern water, wells, etc.).
