Additionally, there are several instances throughout Tru Water’s website where Tru Water is misrepresenting NSF certification of certain products made by NSF certified manufacturers. Specifically, Tru Water’s website claims that the Omnipure models OMB934-1 Micron and the OMB934-1 MPB and the Doulton Sterasyl filters are “NSF Certified and Tested” for performance claims such as cyst, lead, turbidity and particulate reduction, when in fact, these products are only certified by NSF to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material requirements only.
