Contaminant Reduction
What contaminants are reduced using LINX?
Internal test data and reports from others who have evaluated LINX products indicate the following performance.
This is for information only and not for making “claims” as defined by the certification agencies.

|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminum | 95 | 98-99 | |
| Ammonia | 98 | 86-92 | |
| Arsenic III | 85 | ||
| Arsenic V | 93 | ||
| Barium | 99 | 96-98 | |

Italics indicate estimated performance from ion exchange selectivity information.
Actual performance will depend on the power setting and flow rate. Reducing the flow rate will increase contaminant reduction due to increased contact time.
