The following data was extracted, by Poly-Bio-Marine, Inc. ®
from tests conducted by UMDNJ (New Jersey College of Medicine & Dentistry) Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology.

All tests were conducted under the direct control of the Director of the Toxicology dept., Mohamed S. Abdel-Rahman, Ph.D., B.C.F.E. The tests were conducted over a one year period in compliance with both EPA and ASTM anaysis methods. As a further point of information, all tests were performed on equipment factory recalibrated (prior to the onset of testing), by an operator / instructor uncer C.A.P. regulations (College of American Pathology). These tests were conducted for Poly-Bio-Marine, Inc. ® on both the Kold Ster-il ® System and the filtration media. The purpose is to obtain: 1) NSF, International Certification of both the system and media.. 2) U.S.D.A. direct food contact rating. 3) F.D.A. Rating as a direct food additive. For direct food and food processing water contact. The actual test documentation is available from Poly-Bio-Marine, Inc. ® for a $25.00 fee. Dr. Mohamed S. Abdel-Rahman summarized the test results for Poly-Bio-Marine, Inc.® Now these summarized results are available to those who purchase the Kold Ster-il ® Filtration System. All tests were conducted using ¾" npt. Pipe, flowing potable water under 40 psig., producing 3.8 gallons per minute flow rate. Every other manufacturer of home water systems use much lower flow rates i.e. 0.60 gallons per minute. The reason: van der Wal forces limitations. This translates as follows: 3.0-5.0 gallons per minute flow rate through 1 cubic foot of filtration media (7.5 gallons of volume of filtration media). Therefore, the other manufacturer's systems use carbon, ion-exchange resins, molecular sieve media, KDF or mixtures of various media which are limited in flow performance to 0.20-0.60 gallon per minute when placed in a ten or twenty inch cartridge. For a complete list of additional items sorbed or barrier restricted by the Kold Ster-il ® system, please contact: Poly-Bio-Marine, Inc. ® It is expected and understood that the purchaser/user will follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding timely replacement of the filter media. All plastic hardware components, including internal (U.S. Patent) retainer assemblies, are FDA approved materials. All components including filter media are manufactured in the United States of America. The Kold Ster-Il ® System, and all included filter media (3 types) pass NSF, International Standard 63 Extraction Requirements. continue
