Our Read
The Rhino is the best-known whole-house filter brand online, and Aquasana is more precise than most about what’s certified. The tank is certified for materials, and the chlorine claim comes from a test to NSF/ANSI 42, not a certification. At $1,998, its 7.0 gpm rated flow is modest for a large home.Bottom line: A well-documented chlorine and taste filter for small to mid-size homes on city water.
Maker Claims vs the Record
Independently tested to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 to remove up to 97% of chlorine. Aquasana Rhino page
Manual: tank "Not certified for contaminant reductions by WQA." Aquasana Rhino manual
Tested to a standard, not certified to it. The difference is who ran the test and whether anyone audits production.

Performance claims are "independently tested to NSF/ANSI 42", which is not the same as certified.
