 SEAGULL® IV WATER PURIFIERS- PRODUCT DATA SHEET

for United States Standards

Seagull IV X-1 Water Purifiers · Seagull IV X-2 Water Purifiers · Seagull IV X-6 Water Purifiers


General Ecology presents data from testing specifically selected to demonstrate product effectiveness in removing those contaminants most frequently encountered in water supplies. Please note that all General Ecology test results represent performance using actual contaminants, not substitute surrogates which some companies submit.

This Performance Data Sheet shows some of the removal capabilities of Seagull IV Water Purifiers. It is recommended that before purchasing a water treatment unit you have your water supply tested to determine your actual water treatment needs.
