What the Aquasana HealthShield whole-house removes

"Certified" means a certifier (NSF, WQA, IAPMO or CSA) lists this exact product for that reduction claim; the listing is linked. "Brand test only" means Aquasana cites a lab report but no certifier lists the claim. See certified vs. tested.

PFAS	Certified	WQA listing, NSF/ANSI 53 ("Perfluoroheptanoic Acid (PFHpA)")
VOCs	Certified	WQA listing, NSF/ANSI 53 ("VOC (as chloroform)")
Chlorine	Brand test only	Aquasana internal testing ('WQA did not evaluate chlorine or chloramine reduction'): "Chlorine (>97.4%), chloramine (97.49%)"
Chloramine	Brand test only	Aquasana internal testing ('WQA did not evaluate chlorine or chloramine reduction'): "Chlorine (>97.4%), chloramine (97.49%)"

Not verified, either way (no certification or brand claim): Lead, Fluoride, Arsenic, Nitrate, Chromium 6, Mercury, Microplastics, Cysts, TDS, Bacteria and viruses, Iron, Copper, Uranium, 1,4-dioxane.

What it costs to run

Yearly cost = replacements per year × filter price, for each filter it uses; a filter is replaced at its gallon rating or its month limit, whichever comes first. Water use: all indoor water (58.6 gallons per person a day).
