You can search the NSF.org certifications here, specifically NSF/ANSI 53 and NSF/ANSI 58:

P.S. Note the "facility" where these products are manufactured are also listed. One might also want to note that [replacement] filters may also have different country origins.

In the process of getting one of these units https://hanspremiumwater.com/reverse-osmosis/

Key features

High efficiency

No need for water storage tank, but optional pressurized tank available

Real-time TDS monitoring via screen on RO unit and free Android/iOS apps.

Super frustrating company, just show me the dang price don't link me to a "distributor".
I was quoted around 22k, which is on the high side, you can get whole home ro units starting around $2-3k mark, but storage tank + install puts you around 5k minimum, some higher efficiency units can’t also be had for around $10k.

I am willing to spend so much because of the high efficiency, live TDS monitoring and the $20 per month full maintenance plan.

Some of the higher end systems require a lot of fiddling and knowledge to run properly, and most plumbers where I live know next to nothing about whole home RO, so having the maintenance plan which covers, parts, labor and replacement filters is priceless in my book.
