PERFORMANCE DATA SHEET
Water Filtration System
Model P5WB12NL/P4RFWB12 Capacity 120 Gallons (455 Liters)
This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 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 NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53.
Test Parameters: pH = 7.5 ± 0.5 unless otherwise noted. Flow = 0.5 gpm (1.9 Lpm). Pressure = 60 psig (413.7 kPa).
Temp. = 68°F to 71.6°F (20°C to 22°C). Rated service capacity = 120 gallons (455 liters).
■
It is important that operational, maintenance, and filter
replacement requirements be carried out for the product to
perform as advertised. Property damage can occur if all
instructions are not followed.
■
Use replacement filter P4RRWB/P4RFWB12, part
#W10295370. 2012 suggested retail price of $49.99 U.S.A./
$59.99 Canada. Prices are subject to change without notice.
Style 1 – When the water filter status display changes from
“GOOD” to “ORDER,” order a new filter. When the filter
indicator reads “REPLACE,” it is recommended that you
replace the filter.
Style 2 – When the filter indicator changes from green to
yellow, order a new filter. When the indicator changes from
yellow to red, it is recommended that you replace the filter.
Style 3 – When the filter indicator reads 10%, order a new
filter. When the indicator reads 0%, it is recommended that
you replace the filter.
Style 4 – For models without a water dispenser, replace the
disposable water filter every 6 months. The water filter
indicator light will remind you when it is time to change the
water filter.
■
After changing the water filter, flush the water system. For
filtered ice only, make and discard three full containers of ice
to prepare the water filter for use.
■
These contaminants are not necessarily in your water supply.
While testing was performed under standard laboratory
conditions, actual performance may vary.
■
The product is for cold water use only.
■
The water system must be installed in compliance with state
and local laws and regulations.
■
Do not use with water that 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 waters that may contain filterable cysts.
