Our most-certified reverse-osmosis system — bottled-water taste at your kitchen tap, tested and certified to reduce the contaminants that matter most, including PFAS.
- Bottled-water taste straight from the tap.
- Certified to reduce PFAS (PFOS/PFOA), lead, arsenic & fluoride.
- Also reduces chromium, TDS, chlorine, taste & odor.

The Micromax 8500 is our flagship reverse-osmosis system — the one to choose when you want the most thorough drinking water we offer. It carries more independent certifications than almost anything on the shelf, including the NSF/ANSI 53 certification for PFOS and PFOA — the “forever chemicals” more and more Florida homeowners are asking about. Great water for drinking, coffee, ice and baby formula, right at the kitchen sink.
What each certification means for you
Reverse Osmosis
This is the core RO standard. The 8500 is independently tested and certified to reduce dissolved contaminants including lead, arsenic, fluoride, hexavalent & trivalent chromium, barium, cadmium, copper, radium, selenium, total dissolved solids and turbidity. What it means for you: the stuff you can’t see or taste is verified reduced before it reaches your glass.
Health Effects — incl. PFAS
Certified to reduce contaminants with a health effect — including PFOS and PFOA (the “forever chemicals,” PFAS) and VOCs. What it means for you: real, tested protection against the contaminants that matter most for your family’s health.
Emerging Compounds
Certified to reduce trace modern contaminants like BPA, ibuprofen, naproxen and estrone. What it means for you: it handles the newer pharmaceutical and chemical traces most filters ignore.
Aesthetic Effects
Certified to reduce chlorine, taste and odor. What it means for you: water that actually tastes and smells clean at the tap.
Lead-Free
Certified lead-free materials. What it means for you: the system itself never adds lead to your water.
Independent audit
The Water Quality Association independently verifies the product performs as claimed and that its materials are safe, with annual facility audits. What it means for you: a third party — not the manufacturer — stands behind these claims.
Independently certified — and you can check it yourself
Every certification above is listed in the Water Quality Association’s public Gold Seal database — you can look up Puronics and the Micromax 8500 and see exactly what it’s certified to reduce. That’s independent proof, not a sales claim. Ask a competitor to show you the same.
