Aquasana Water Filters Receives Certification from NSF International

United States: Aquasana, Inc., a leading global drinking water filters company has been rewarded with certification from NSF International, a US based public health & safety organization for developing water filters that reduce PFOA and PFOS in drinking water. 17 Aquasana water filter products have been certified by NSF International, post being tested and identified with the potential to lower perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perflurooctane sulfonate (PFOS) contaminants to levels below the health advisory standards set by the federal government. The certified range of water filters include 7 models from Aquasana two-stage countertop water filters, 3 under-counter water filter models, 4 clean water machine models and 3 models of whole-house reverse osmosis units.  Exposure to PFOS and PFOA in drinking water above the 70 parts per trillion level may lead to harmful health effects including cancer, liver damage, etc. The certified water filter models from Aquasana have the ability to reduce PFOA and PFOS levels in drinking water to below 70 parts per trillion, the health advisory level laid by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in May 2016.

TechSci Research depicts that the recent certification gained by Aquasana as a result of continuous efforts in water filtration engineering and innovation to deliver premium performance water treatment products will strengthen the position of company in the field of residential water purifiers.

According to the recently published report by TechSci Research, “Global Residential Water Purifiers Market By Technology, By Function, By Sales Channel, By Region, Competition Forecast and Opportunities, 2011 - 2021”, the global residential water purifier market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 15% over the next five years. On the basis of technology, global residential water purifiers market is segmented into membrane, media and UV residential water purifiers. Membrane based residential water purifiers dominated global residential water purifiers market, due to capability to effectively treat source water with high TDS (Total Dissolved Solid). In 2015, Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest share in the global residential water purifiers market, followed by North America, and Europe & Russia. Due to increasing awareness regrading water borne diseases, rising disposable income and purchasing power of consumers, use of residential water purifiers is expected to continue growing through, particularly in Asia-Pacific.
