PERFORMANCE DATA SHEETS

Base Grille Water Filtration System

Model WF-NL300/NL300 capacity 300 Gallons (1136 Liters)

Model WF-L500/L500 capacity 500 Gallons (1893 Liters)

System tested and certified by NSF International against ANSI/NSF

Standard 53 for the reduction of Lead; and against Standard

ANSI/NSF 42 for the reduction of Taste and Odor, Chlorine Class I.

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.

Contaminant	Average	Influent Challenge	Product	Average %	Max. Permissible	Max.	Min. %
Reduction	Influent	Concentration	Water	Reduction	Concentration	Effluent	Reduction
	mg/L		mg/L		mg/L	mg/L
Lead: @ pH 6.5	0.16	0.15 mg/L ± 10%	0.0024	98.4	0.01	.005	97
Lead: @ pH 8.5	0.17	0.15 mg/L ± 10%	0.0045	97.4	0.01	.009	95

Test Parameters: pH = 7.5 ± 0.5 unless otherwise noted. Flow = 0.5 gpm (1.9 Lpm). Pressure = 60 psig (413.7 kPa). Temp. = 63°F (17.2°C).

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

■Using Replacement Cartridge NL300 - Model WF-NL300: 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 and 53. Change cartridge at least every 6-9 months. Use replacement cartridge NL 300, part# 4392857. 2003 suggested retail price of $29.95 U.S.A./ $39.95 Canada. Prices are subject to change without notice.

■Using Replacement Cartridge L500 - Model WF-L500: 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 and 53. The 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 L500, part# 4392857. 2003 suggested retail price of $29.95 U.S.A./$39.95 Canada. Prices are subject to change without notice.

■The product is for cold water use only.

■Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
