Volatile Organic Chemical (VOC) Reduction Claim
A VOC reduction claim by the manufacturer means the system reduces the concentration of ALL the following contaminants:

The category of VOC (Volatile Organic Chemical) includes a number of chemicals that are both man-made and naturally occurring. Water from wells and utilities may contain some of these contaminants. Some VOCs are pesticides, herbicides, or insecticides that seep into the ground water after application. Other VOCs enter the water supply through industrial or other waste disposal. This category also includes total trihalomethanes, which are a by-product of chlorination.
