This system reducespentavalent arsenic but may not remove other forms of arsenic. This system is to be used on water suppliescontaining detectable free chlorine residual or on water supplies that have been demonstrated to containonly pentavalent arsenic. Treatment with chloramines (combined chlorine) is not sufficient to ensurecomplete conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts section of theperformance data sheet for further information”.Arsenic (As) is a naturally occurring contaminant found in many ground waters. It generally occurs in twoforms (valences or oxidation states): pentavalent arsenic (also known as As(V), As(+5), or arsenate) andtrivalent arsenic (also known as As(III), As(+3), or arsenite). In natural ground water, arsenic may exist astrivalent arsenic, pentavalent arsenic, or a combination of both. Although both forms of arsenic arepotentially harmful to human health, trivalent arsenic is considered more harmful than pentavalent arsenic.More information about arsenic and its toxicity can be found on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencywebsite at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/arsenic.html.This system is designed to remove only pentavalent arsenic. This treatment system does not provide afeature for conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. The system may remove some trivalentarsenic, however, it has not been evaluated for its ability to remove trivalent arsenic.Trivalent arsenic is generally more difficult to remove from drinking water than pentavalent arsenic.Trivalent arsenic can be converted to pentavalent arsenic in the presence of an effective oxidant such asfree chlorine. The arsenic in water containing detectable free chlorine or that has been treated with anothereffective oxidant will be in the pentavalent arsenic form.4 Treatment with chloramine (combined chlorine) isnot sufficient to ensure complete conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic.Consumers using public water supplies can contact their utility to verify whether free chlorine treatmentchemicals are being used. Private water supplies and waters that do not have detectable free chlorineresiduals should be analyzed to determine the form(s) of arsenic present and the potential need foroxidation of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic.Arsenic does not generally impart color, taste, or smell to water, therefore, it can only be detected by achemical analytical test. Public water supplies are required to monitor treated water for total arsenic(trivalent arsenic plus pentavalent arsenic) and the results are available to the public from the utility.Consumers using private water sources will need to make arrangements for testing. A total arsenic testusually costs about $15-$30 and it is recommended the test be conducted by a certified laboratory. Localhealth departments or environmental protection agencies can help provide consumers with a list of certifiedlaboratories. Some laboratories may also be able to analyze specifically for (speciate) the form(s) of arsenicpresent in a water sample if requested.This treatment system was tested under laboratory conditions as defined in NSF/ANSI 58 Drinking WaterTreatment Units – Health Effects and was found to reduce 0.30 mg/L of pentavalent arsenic in the test waterto less than 0.010 mg/L under standard testing conditions. Actual performance of the system may varydepending on specific water quality conditions at the consumer's installation. Following installation of thissystem, the consumer should have the treated water tested for total arsenic to verify arsenic reduction isbeing achieved and the system is functioning properly.The arsenic removal component of this system must be replaced at the end of its useful life of 1-2 years. Thereplacement component,can be purchased directly from the manufacturer Kent RO Systems.
