Base Grille Water Filtration System

Tested and certified by NSF International against ANSI/NSF Standard 42 for the reduction of Chlorine, Taste and Odor, Particulate Class II*; and against ANSI/NSF Standard 53 for the reduction of Lead, Mercury, Benzene, Toxaphene, p-dichlorobenzene, and Carbofuran.

This system has been tested according to ANSI/NSF 42/53 for the reduction of the substances listed below. The concentration of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in ANSI/NSF 42/53.

■It is essential that operational, maintenance, and filter replacement requirements be carried out for the product to perform as advertised.

■Model WF-NL240VChange cartridge at least every 6-9 months. Use replacement cartridge NL240V, part #4396509. 2004 suggested retail price of $35.99 U.S.A./$59.95 Canada. Prices are subject to change without notice.

■Model WF-L400VThe filter monitor system measures the amount of water that passes through the filter and alerts you to replace the filter. When 90% of the filter’s rated life is used, the filter indicator light changes from green to yellow. When 100% of the filter’s rated life is used, the filter indicator light changes from yellow to red, and it is recommended that you replace the filter. Use replacement cartridge L400V, part #4396509. 2004 suggested retail price of $35.99 U.S.A./ $59.95 Canada. Prices are subject to change without notice.
