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.

sediments

other sediments from water.
