Certified to reduce 27 contaminants

Questions and answers
It fits refrigerators from those five brands that use Filter 5. Check the filter number in your manual or on your current cartridge before ordering.
It is a replacement for Whirlpool 4396510, Kenmore 46-9010 and NLC240V. Match the number printed on your old cartridge or in your fridge manual.
Yes. The packaging shows NSF/ANSI 42 and 372 certification for reducing 27 contaminants. It is also marked lead free and BPA free.
The back label calls for about 4 gallons (15.14 liters). Keep a bucket handy and run it before the first glass.
Every six months. Mark the install date on your calendar so the next swap is planned.
