FILTER CARTRIDGE LIFE

It is recommended to replace the battery and filter car- tridges every 6 months of use. There are several vari- ables that determine how long a cartridge will last.

These include:

1.How much water you use, and

2.How much sediment, taste and/or odor, or other unwanted substances, are 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 unwanted substances in your water.

OPTIONAL CARTRIDGES

Other filter cartridges are available from Sears to reduce sediments, tastes and odors, and chemical contaminants. Following is a list of filter cartridges available:

Sediment Filter Cartridge, 25 Micron*: Sediment car- tridges reduce sand, silt, clay, dirt and other sediments from water. Sears Item No. 42-38478 filters the larger sediments from water, and allows higher flows at less pressure drop.

Taste and Odor Cartridges: Many bad tastes and/or odors are reduced from water by an activated carbon cartridge. It is most often used to reduce chlorine taste and smell, usually to a single faucet such as the kitchen cold.

NOTE: Small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (noticeable as “rotten egg” odor) may be reduced by taste and odor fil- ters for a short time, quickly exhausting the carbon media. Consult your Sears store for proper continuous treatment.
