INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED SINCE 2001

Tested & Certified

Since 2001, LifeSource systems have been independently tested and certified to NSF/ANSI 42 by IAPMO R&T, an accredited certification body — and separately certified lead-free under NSF/ANSI/CAN 372. Third-party certification is your assurance that our systems perform as promised, and we can prove it.

What Certification Means for You

Plenty of filters claim performance. Very few prove it to an accredited body.

Verified by a third party, not by us

Anyone can claim performance. IAPMO R&T is an accredited certification body — our claims are checked by people with no stake in the sale.

Performance you can look up

Every certified model's flow rate, filtration capacity, and reduction claims are public record — linked from this page, hosted by IAPMO, not by us.

Safe materials, not just effective filtration

Certification covers materials safety and structural integrity — and the systems are separately certified lead-free under NSF/ANSI/CAN 372, so what the system is made of is held to the same standard as what it removes.

Audited continuously

IAPMO re-inspects our factory and quality system on an ongoing basis. Certification lapses if the product stops matching what was tested.
