Does anyone know if this is WaterSense certified? The US government's Environmental Protection Agency division says it's important...

WaterSense certification is important. All of our 1.8 gpm models are currently certified and in about one month all of our 1.5 gpm models including this one will also be certified.

Yes, they are. Just check the company website: http://highsierrashowerheads.com/It may look simple, but it's a really good shower head.

I would love to buy this product, and my city is offering rebates from Water Sense products. Any update on this?

My unit is marked model WP-100W/C. I rarely use it since the water stream is very weak compared to the normal one without the narrow tip.The water stream is very focused, however, and this may be of value for certain needs.

Dear Valued Customer, Sawyer states, "1 Million Gallons Guaranteed! We didn't actually run a million gallons through the filter, because that's a lot of water... but we could have. We are confident in our million gallon claim because you can continually clean the filter by backwashing it with clean water. So there really is no end to its useful life. That is why we can GUARANTEE THE FILTER FOR LIFE as long as you follow the simple care and use instructions." We hope that this sufficiently answers your question, please let us know if you have an additional questions. Sincerely, Thunder Mountain (ThndrMntn) Sales and Service

I have had no problems with this device. It is a ato, has a pump to bring water to replace evaporated water. You must make sure the glass is clear. The one thing I had a problem with is the frame on tp of my aquarium wouldn't let it fill it to where I wanted it to so I trimmed it to where it would.

Thank you for contacting AquaRain Support. Water conditions can be of great concern, especially when traveling to developing countries and the AquaRain has been designed specifically for this reason. Since bacteria vary greatly in size, porosity alone will not define the efficacy of a filters performance. The internal pore structure has a great deal of influence on ceramic filter performance. Testing with live organisms is the best determinate of performance. Our filters have been tested using the EPA protocols in a unique way. Our ceramic test articles were abraded down to 10% below their measured end-of-life and exposed to contaminated water before being sent in to the laboratory for testing. This was done to confirm that our ceramic filters were fully effective and safe to use until they reach their measurable end-of-life. Normal testing protocols only use brand-new, hand selected articles for testing and are therefore unreliable where the water quality is of concern. We went further and tested our filters with Brevundimonas diminuta, a very small bacteria used for testing in the health industry. We met EPA purifier standards even when using this much smaller test organism. Because of our real world testing results with this live organism, we realistically rate our ceramic pore size at .2 micron absolute. We have a great deal of information on our website especially, under the "testing" tab. There you will find a downloadable PDF Testing Summary Sheet for our ceramics. I hope this has answered your questions, please write again or contact us directly should you have any further questions. Kind Regards, AquaRain, Inc.

there is a video on youtube. It doesnt filter viruses or chemicals but does everything else. I filtered dirty lake water through it and it was clear as a bell. I didnt have the water tested before or after, the way I figure it something is better than nothing.

Here is the manufacturer's statement in its entirety, from waterrightinc.com on its FAQ page, on June 26, 2014: "What does the recent www.healthychoice.com report on garden hose by Ecocenter.org mean? We spoke with Jeff Gearhart, the Research Director who was in charge of this study on 5-14-2013 and he supported our safety claim regarding our hose. He encouraged us to send anyone with concerns to their lab directly. http://www.healthystuff.org/contact.us.php Jeff Gearhart also recommends our polyurethane product and natural rubber hoses over other garden hoses in the industry. He specifically noted that the lead testing that is performed by their lab utilizes an x-ray devise which penetrates the chrome surface coating to determine the level of lead content in our brass. And yes, although there is lead inside the brass we use (which almost all brass fittings do and that we have always claimed), we specially plate our fittings with nickel and chrome to prevent our customers from coming in contact with any lead. An Independent lab called Bureau Veritas in Buffalo, NY, has also performed a surface coating test that shows our fittings meet drinking water safe applications. You will also be happy to know (based on our company's priorities to make only completely safe products), that we have been working on a producing a completely lead free fitting over the last 12 months (now that that brass alloy has recently become available by Chase Brass). The only unfortunate part of making this change is that the cost for lead-free brass is double the cost of regular 360 brass, which will possibly add between $4-5 retail to all of our hoses. Again, although we currently meet drinking water safe standards, it has been our top priority in 2013 to produce the safest garden hose in the industry. Water Right 100% lead-free fittings will be available by year end and will also be tested by a certified laboratory to ensure a completely lead and toxin free product. Jeff Thomas - President "

Did you ever do this test? I am very interested to know if the residue comes from the water or your feet. I have a water distiller and I can get a residue left from our tap water (without putting my feet in it).

I don't think it is needed. Just do a check on bottled purchased water. Every so often recheck and see if reading are same if yes no calibration required.

I believe the Clearwave is a scam! Ours hasn't solved our hard water problem. You'll notice that they give a money back guarantee. But they also say it will take longer than the guarantee term to see if it works!!

I had one due that. I am not sure but I would recommend that you send that one to the state health dep for their evaluation. You can get water test bottle from local health department. Now I have found that if you do not clean spout with alcohol and then burn the spout often times it will test neg automatically due to what is on the surface. Also, make sure you run the water for a couple minutes to clean the lines out. Take off the arrator too.

Have not read anything that said it was for one type of water or another. Considering how it works I do not see how it could harm your salt environment, but you may want to check with the company who makes these to be on the safe side.

Ask The manufacturer, not me. How should I know. I bought the bottle to be on standby in case of sudden radiation threat.it is natural to assume that it does everything.i would suspect that if radiation was present, that would take care of anything that was living . I have been a satisfied for years using Seychelle's water filter bottles for years. The water sure tastes better and they guarantee that the water filtered is 99.9% pure.

If 1ppm solute of unknown identity went in and 59 more came out, I'd bet it's the carbon from the carbon filter. Nothing to worry about. Your water is still absolutely drinkable and mostly pure.

Hey Jeff. Um - I have no idea what that means! The filters MAY be NFA certified - I just don't know. I just know that I love my NSA under the sink filter and have used them for maybe 20 years...without any problem of any kind.

How about not guessing and get some real data about your area's water system. It is possible that your locale has poorly maintained water. You should know the gov't standard for water versus what your locale is supplying. It just makes sense to get the data before assuming that it is a scam or a bad filter. http://www.ntllabs.com/
