WHAT YOUR CLARIFYING FILTER WILL DO

ASears Clarifying Filter takes sediments such as dirt, sand, silt, clay, and fine organic matter out of water. You can see sediments in water by filling a clear drinking glass. When held up to light, you can see the particles floating in the water, or settled to the bottomof the glass. The filter is filled with "filter aggregate" mineral that traps and holds the sediments as the water flows through it.

The Clarifier is sometimes installed alone, but is often followedby a wamrsoftener. Besidessofteningthe water,

the water softener catches sediments that may get through the filter. Sears Water Analysis Laboratory will test your water and tell you what equipment you need (see page 5).

NOTE: If you will install the clarifying filter along with a

Sears Solution Dispensing System, read the dispensing system owners manual for treating a private well before installing.
