GENERAL USE
CONDITIONS
Read this Performance Data Sheet and
compare the capabilities of this
refrigerator with your actual water
treatment needs.
DO NOT use this product where water
is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the
system. Systems certified for cyst
reduction may be used on disinfected
water that may contain filterable
cysts.

This system has been tested according
to ANSI/NSF 42 and 53 for 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 and 53.
Tested and certified by NSF International against ANSI/NSF Standards 42 and 53 in
models WF50-WI300 and WF50-NI500 for the reduction of:
