(714) Purpose.
}
{\plain\f4\fs21\cf2\ulc2
The purpose of these rules is to establish the requirements and procedures for the registration and sale of water treatment systems. These rules are established pursuant to Iowa Code section 714.16, which prohibits a person selling, leasing or renting, or advertising the sale, lease or rental of a water treatment system in Iowa from making false or deceptive representations that the water treatment system will reduce the concentration of one or more contaminants in drinking water.

(714) Applicability.
}
{\plain\f4\fs21\cf2\ulc2
The provisions of this chapter apply to the seller and manufacturer of a water treatment system offered for sale, lease, or rent in Iowa for which representations are made that the water treatment system will reduce the concentration of one or more contaminants in drinking water. Individual water treatment systems installed as central treatment for a public water system under the rules of the Iowa department of natural resources are not required to comply with these rules.
