It is essential that operational, maintenance, and filter
replacement requirements be carried out for the product to
perform as advertised.
Model WF-NL240V Change cartridge at least every 6-9
months. Use replacement cartridge NL240V, part# 4396509.
2003 suggested retail price of $35.99 U.S.A./$59.95 Canada.
Prices are subject to change without notice.
Model WF-L400V 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 L400V,
Part #4396509. 2003 suggested retail price of $35.99 U.S.A./
$59.95 Canada. Prices are subject to change without notice.
The product is for cold water use only.

Class II particle size: >1 to <5
** Test requirement is at least 100,000 particles/mL of AC Fine Test Dust.
These contaminants are not necessarily in your water supply. Performance may vary based on local water conditions.
