Is Aquaboon NSF certified?
Cert-reality TL;DR for Aquaboon
Aquaboon is an aftermarket fridge filter brand whose cartridges are independently certified to NSF/ANSI 42 + 372 — real certs, just issued by IAPMO not NSF International, and narrower than the OEM cartridges' NSF/ANSI 53 scope.
Certification Reality: What's Actually Tested
This table shows the NSF/IAPMO/WQA-listed certifications for each Aquaboon SKU we tracked, alongside the contaminants the brand markets but which do not appear on the third-party listing. Green chips are third-party verified; amber chips are marketing claims without a corresponding listing. Every row links to the live certifier database so you can verify the listed claim set yourself.

Brand claims but NOT certified
- Chlorine
- Taste and Odor
- Lead-free plumbing material
- Lead reduction
- Cyst
- VOCs
- Mercury / Heavy metals
Why these aren’t certified ↓Hide details ↑
- Chlorine — marketed as reduced at the activated carbon stage; aquaboon.com lists it as IAPMO R&T NSF/ANSI 42 certified, pending verification of the specific IAPMO listing file number
- Taste and Odor — marketed at the NSF/ANSI 42 aesthetic-effects scope per the brand's product page
- Lead-free plumbing material — NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 covers lead-free material for parts that touch drinking water; it does NOT include lead REDUCTION at the NSF/ANSI 53 scope, which the OEM Samsung DA29-00020B / HAF-QIN carries under its NSF/ANSI 42 + 53 certification
- Lead reduction — marketed at the carbon + ion-exchange stage, but not NSF/ANSI 53 certified on this cartridge; cross-shop the OEM Samsung HAF-QIN for NSF/ANSI 53 certified lead reduction in the same housing
- Cyst (Cryptosporidium / Giardia) — marketed as reduced at the carbon stage, but not NSF/ANSI 53 certified on this cartridge
- VOCs — marketed as reduced at the carbon stage, but not NSF/ANSI 53 certified on this cartridge
- Mercury / Heavy metals — marketed as reduced at the carbon + ion-exchange stage, but not NSF/ANSI 53 certified on this cartridge
Bottom line: pick the Aquaboon DA29-00020B for the lowest per-filter cost on certified chlorine taste-and-odor reduction; pick the Samsung OEM HAF-QIN for certified lead reduction in the same housing.
The Aquaboon DA29-00020B is the brand's highest-volume cartridge and the main example of the 'fits Samsung vs is Samsung OEM' confusion on this page. It physically fits the Samsung DA29-00020B / HAF-CIN housing but is NOT a Samsung OEM cartridge — Aquaboon Inc. is the aftermarket maker, not Samsung. Its IAPMO R&T NSF/ANSI 42 + 372 certification covers chlorine taste-and-odor reduction (NSF/ANSI 42) and lead-free plumbing material (NSF/ANSI/CAN 372), equivalent to an NSF International or WQA listing under the same standards but indexed in IAPMO's database.
That scope is narrower than the Samsung OEM DA29-00020B / HAF-QIN's NSF/ANSI 42 + 53 certification, which adds lead, cyst, and VOC reduction at the Health Effects level — none of which the Aquaboon cartridge is certified for. So buyers who want the cheapest certified chlorine reduction ($15-$20 per filter vs $50-$60 OEM) fit the Aquaboon; buyers who want certified lead reduction should choose the Samsung OEM HAF-QIN in the same housing. The specific IAPMO listing file number, listee entity name, and certified-claims menu still need a direct check before the local NSF data can absorb the listing under the consumer brand name.

- Cyst (Cryptosporidium / Giardia) — marketed as reduced at the carbon stage, but not NSF/ANSI 53 certified on this cartridge
- VOCs — marketed as reduced at the carbon stage, but not NSF/ANSI 53 certified on this cartridge
Bottom line: pick the Aquaboon LT700P for the cheapest certified chlorine taste-and-odor reduction; pick the LG OEM LT800P for certified lead reduction in the LG French-door housing.
The Aquaboon LT700P physically fits the LG LT700P / ADQ36006101 housing but is NOT an LG OEM cartridge — the same 'fits LG vs is LG OEM' and IAPMO-vs-NSF-International certifier points as the DA29-00020B entry. Its IAPMO R&T NSF/ANSI 42 + 372 certification is narrower than the LG OEM LT800P's NSF/ANSI 42 + 53 certification, which adds lead, cyst, and VOC reduction.
So buyers who want certified lead reduction in the LG French-door housing fit the LG OEM LT800P (NSF/ANSI 42 + 53); buyers who want the cheapest certified chlorine taste-and-odor reduction fit the Aquaboon LT700P at $15-$25 per filter versus LG OEM at ~$50-$70.

- Lead-free plumbing material — NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 material-safety standard
- Lead reduction — marketed at the carbon + ion-exchange stage, but not NSF/ANSI 53 certified on this cartridge; cross-shop the OEM GE XWFE for NSF/ANSI 53 certified lead reduction in the newer GE housing, noting the XWFE has a built-in RFID chip the older MWF housing does not — Aquaboon MWF fits only the MWF / non-RFID generation
- Cyst (Cryptosporidium / Giardia) — marketed as reduced, but not NSF/ANSI 53 certified on this cartridge
- VOCs — marketed as reduced, but not NSF/ANSI 53 certified on this cartridge
Bottom line: pick the Aquaboon MWF only if your GE refrigerator uses the older MWF / non-RFID housing; pick the GE OEM XWFE if your model uses the newer RFID housing or you want certified lead reduction.
The Aquaboon MWF fits the older GE MWF housing. The catch is compatibility: GE has been replacing the MWF housing on newer models with the XWFE housing, which uses a built-in RFID chip that aftermarket cartridges (including Aquaboon) do not support — XWFE-equipped refrigerators only accept the GE OEM XWFE cartridge with the chip. The Aquaboon MWF works only with the MWF / non-RFID generation; buyers with newer XWFE-equipped GE refrigerators need the GE OEM XWFE or an RFID-equipped aftermarket cartridge, which is a different product from the Aquaboon MWF.
On scope, the Aquaboon MWF's IAPMO R&T NSF/ANSI 42 + 372 certification is narrower than the GE OEM XWFE / RPWFE's NSF/ANSI 42 + 53 certification, which adds lead reduction.
