Testing Results
Certified. Not claimed.
Alkavida's point-of-use reverse osmosis drinking water systems are certified to national standard WQA S-300 by IAPMO Research & Testing — an independent, accredited body.
A filter should be held to the same scrutiny as the water it treats.
That's why Alkavida's reverse osmosis drinking water systems are certified to WQA S-300 — the national standard governing the performance, design, and material requirements of residential and commercial RO systems.
The certification was issued by IAPMO Research & Testing, Inc., an ANSI-accredited product certification body, with testing performed at an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory. Below is exactly what's certified.
Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Systems
Certified to WQA S-300 by IAPMO Research & Testing.
WQA S-300 · RO System Certification
Point-of-use, low-pressure reverse osmosis drinking water systems with storage tank and automatic shut-off valve.
WQA S-300 establishes minimum performance, design, and material requirements for reverse osmosis systems used on potable public or private drinking water supplies. These systems are designed to operate at a working pressure of 150 psi or less. This certification confirms the listed systems meet those requirements and carry a verified TDS (total dissolved solids) reduction claim.
Certified to WQA S-300 for the specifically claimed performance (TDS). Not intended to treat water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
Protector™ Red-D Ultra media
The submicron depth-filtration technology at the core of the system.
The system is built around Protector™ Red-D Ultra — a proprietary, patented electroadsorptive media that captures submicron pathogens and inorganic contaminants through electroadhesion and ion exchange, reaching efficiency comparable to ultra-membrane filtration at very low pressure drop. Its filtration media is NSF/ANSI 61 certified (Drinking Water System Components — Health Effects).

What these credentials actually mean.
The system standard
A Water Quality Association standard setting minimum performance, design, and material requirements for reverse osmosis drinking water systems — evaluating the system as a whole, not just one part.
The certifier
An independent, ANSI-accredited product certification body that tests and inspects samples, then conducts ongoing surveillance of the manufacturer's facility and quality system — not a one-time check.
The lab accreditation
The international benchmark for testing-laboratory competence. Certification granted on this basis means testing was performed by a lab formally recognized as technically capable and impartial.
Made in the USA, tested to American standards.
Since 1994, Alkavida has engineered its filtration systems in the United States under strict domestic manufacturing practices — because quality control and accountability begin at the source.
Cleaner water, proven at the source.
