TapBuff searched the certifiers’ own listings and found nothing for this product. That does not mean it does not work. It means no independent certifier has confirmed what it reduces, so every claim below is the maker’s alone.

Certified for, and claimed

Certification claims we could not find on a listing

  • Maker says "independently tested to NSF/ANSI Standard 42" to remove up to 83% of chloramines and 97% of chlorine; testing is not certification. WQA lists the WH-1011 only to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61, a materials standard, and to CSA B483.1 with no reduction claims.

Worth knowing

Uses catalytic carbon, which the maker says is formulated for chloramine; the plain Rhino is the chlorine model. Built for city water, where chloramine is used. No electricity, drain line or backwashing, per the maker. Price recorded is the $2,798 MSRP; Aquasana showed $1,399 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.
