WATER TREATMENT FILTER CARTRIDGES
Filter cartridges are available (not included with drinkĆ
ing water filter system) from Sears to remove sediĆ
ments, tastes and odors, tastes, odors and chemical
contaminants, and tastes, odors and lead.
Following is a list of filter cartridges available at the
time of this printing. Shop your local Sears store for
the current selection.
(1) Sediment Filter Cartridge, Sears Item No.
42-34360 (25 micron), or (2) Item No. 42-34362
(5 micron): Sediment cartridges remove sand, silt,
clay, dirt, and other sediments from water. The 25 miĆ
cron cartridge filters larger sediments from water, and
allows higher flows at less pressure drop. The 5 miĆ
cron cartridge filters finer sediments from water.
Taste and Odor Cartridges: Many bad tastes and/or
odors are removed from water by an activated carbon
cartridge. It is most often used to remove 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 filters for a short time, quickly exhausting the carĆ
bon media. Consult your Sears store for proper continĆ
uous treatment.
Sears has several taste and odor filter cartridges availĆ
able. These are:
(3) Sears Item No. 42-34370: for 95% chlorine
reduction,
and (4) Sears Item No. 42-34372: for 99% chlorine
reduction
(5) Sears Item No. 42-34377: for 99% chlorine
reduction, plus 95% lead reduction
(6) Sears Item No. 42-34365: for 99% chlorine
reduction, plus chemical contaminants
You can customize your filter system to the specific
treatment needs of your water supply. Use the same
type of filter cartridge in both Filter I and Filter II to
maximize treatment for a specific water problem. Or,
use any combination of cartridges to treat more than
one problem. When using 2 different cartridges, place
in Filter I and Filter II as follows for maximum affect.
GUIDELINE FOR CARTRIDGE PLACEMENT
When using 2 different cartridges, of the 6 depicted below,
always place the lowest numbered cartridge in Filter I, and
the highest numbered in Filter II. For example, if you select
a 5 micron sediment cartridge (2), and a taste & odor plus
lead cartridge (5), the sediment cartridge goes into Filter I.

Note: The numbers (5) and (6) cartridges above both
have built-in restrictors to control water flow rate for
maximum filtering. You will notice reduced flow from
the faucet when using either or both cartridges.
Locate the water filter housing on the cold water supĆ
ply pipe, under the kitchen and/or bathroom sink, to
filter the cold drinking water. Refer to the following
