E. coli are bacteria whose presence indicates that the water may be contaminated with human or animal wastes. Human pathogens in these wastes can cause short-term effects, such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms.EPA, quoted.
Removal methods in the reference list: ultraviolet disinfection, chlorination, Class A UV disinfection. A method name is not a product certification.
