Choose Quality
IAPMO-certified products often carry a quality mark or logo indicating that they have been tested and certified by IAPMO. This quality mark can be found on the product packaging, manual, or directly on the product itself.
The IAPMO certification for water filters is a sign of quality and safety. It indicates that a water filter has been rigorously tested and meets strict standards for contaminant removal, structural integrity and material safety. This allows consumers to trust that an IAPMO-certified water filter is effective and safe to use for purifying drinking water.
CE Certification
The CE mark is a certification that indicates that a product meets the essential requirements of the European Union (EU) in the areas of safety, health, environment and consumer protection. CE stands for “Conformité Européenne”, which is French for “European conformity”.
When you order an AzurAqua Water Filter, you can be sure that the product has been assessed for safety and performance according to EU standards! It ensures that products meet strict safety, health and environmental requirements, protecting consumers and giving manufacturers a harmonized market in which to sell their products.
NSF / ANSI 42
This standard focuses on the improving the aesthetic aspects of water, as:
- Chlorine reduction: Removes chlorine and chloramines that can affect the odor and taste of water.
- Turbidity reduction: Reduces impurities that make water cloudy.
- Removal of particles: Filters undissolved particles such as sand, rust and sediment.
In short, this certification ensures that the water tastes fresher and looks better.
NSF / ANSI 53
De NSF / ANSI 53-standard focuses on reducing health-related contaminants in drinking water. This includes harmful substances such as:
- Heavy metals (such as lead and mercury).
- Biological substances (such as cysts).
- Chemical contaminants, including PFAS such as PFOA and PFOS.
A product certified to NSF/ANSI 53 can remove PFOA and PFOS if these substances are explicitly included in the certification. Always check the product documentation or consult the manufacturer to make sure that your filter is effective against these specific substances. It guarantees that the filter minimizes health risks in the water by effectively removing harmful substances.
NSF / ANSI 372
This standard checks the lead-freeness of materials that come into contact with water:
It guarantees that the product meets the requirements for “low-lead content”, which means that it contains less than 0,25% lead in all parts that come into contact with water.
This makes the filter safe for everyday use without the risk of lead contamination.
