Certification claims we could not find on a listing
- Maker says "independently tested to NSF/ANSI Standard 42" to remove up to 97% of chlorine; testing is not certification. WQA lists the WH-1000 only to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61, a materials standard, and to CSA B483.1 with no reduction claims.

Worth knowing
Aquasana sells the Rhino for city water and a separate Rhino Well Water with UV for wells. The maker describes the media as activated carbon plus copper-zinc (KDF); the 78-contaminant list on the product page is for its Claryum media, not this tank. No electricity, drain line or backwashing, per the maker. Price recorded is the $1,998 MSRP; Aquasana showed $999 on Oct. 4, 2026. Pre-filters come only in 3-packs at $36.99 and each lasts up to 2 months, so one pack is recorded as 6 months. No price is listed for a replacement tank.
