What the Aquasana Rhino + Salt-Free Water Conditioner 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.
