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 ll*;
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 ANSl/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 ANSl/NSF 42/53.

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,
