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 months.
Use replacement cartridge NL240V, part #4396509. 2005
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. 2005
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.
