Notice Regarding PFOS and PFOA Removal Test Results for GAROKEZA Water Filter Cartridges

EVERWELL GROUP LLC is committed to delivering safe and great-tasting drinking water while promoting environmental sustainability through the development, manufacturing, and sale of water filtration products.

Guided by our mission, "Creating a society where tap water can be consumed with confidence," we actively support the efficient use of water resources and the adoption of sustainable lifestyles.

To evaluate the removal performance of PFOS and PFOA, two per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that have attracted increasing public attention in recent years, our water filter cartridges underwent performance testing by an independent third-party testing laboratory.

The test results confirmed that, in accordance with the testing procedures specified in the JWPAS B.210 Standard for Testing Water Purifier Removal Performance established by the Japan Water Purifier Association, our cartridges are capable of reducing PFOS and PFOA concentrations by more than 80% under concentration conditions based on Japan's tap water quality management target standards (27 water quality parameters).

In addition, the applicable products have obtained certification from NSF International, a recognized third-party certification body in the United States, demonstrating compliance with relevant international quality and safety standards.
