3NSF/ANSI standards

Valinor's filter media has been independently tested to NSF/ANSI 42, 53 and 401 standards in other formats. The exact Valinor cartridge is in certification testing at IAPMO R&T, an ANSI accredited certification body. Certified reduction percentages and rated filter life will be published here when testing is complete.

In testing at IAPMO R&TQueued for testing

Queued means next in line at IAPMO R&T. Our media has already passed these tests in other formats, so we expect the exact Valinor cartridge to pass as well. Those tests run over the next three to six months.

Straight answers

What we don't claim.

Fluoride. Not something we currently claim to reduce. We are building a fluoride-specific filter in R&D that we plan to take to market in 2027.
Nitrate. Not something we've tested for or claim to reduce. If your water tests high for nitrate, email hello@valinorwater.com and we'll point you to a good solution.
