Water Treatment Filter Cartridges

Filter cartridges are available from Sears to remove:

￿sediments

￿tastes and odors

Many bad tastes and/or odors are reduced from water using an activated carbon cartridge. It is most often used to remove chlorine taste and odor.

Sediment Filter Cartridge, 5 Micron: Sears Item No. 42- 38478 (optional) filters fine sediments from water, often to a single faucet.

Filter Cartridge Life

Several variables determine how long a cartridge will last. These include:

￿How much water you use.

￿How much sediment, taste and/or odor, or other unwanted substance, is in the water.

Use the following information as a guide. However, no matter which type of cartridge you are using, you will know it is time to replace it when you first notice the return of the unwanted substance in your water. Filter cartridges are available from your local Sears store and www.sears.com.

The filter cartridges require replacement 3 or 4 times a year when used for whole house filtering. Average car- tridge life when filtering water to one faucet is 6 months or more. This average time varies depending on the type of cartridge and water conditions.

SEDIMENT CARTRIDGES: Filtering sediments, you will know it's time to replace the cartridge when water pressure drops at house faucets.

TASTE & ODOR CARTRIDGES: Filtering taste and odor, you will know it's time to replace the cartridge when the taste and odor returns. If the cartridge is also for sediment removal, you could notice a pressure drop before the return of taste and odor.
