WATER TREATMENT FILTER CARTRIDGES
Filter cartridges are available (not included with water
filter housing) from Sears to remove (1) sediments, (2)
tastes and odors, (3) tastes, odors and chemical
contaminants, and (4) tastes, odors and lead. To treat
slightly acid and corrosive water supplies, Sears has a
cartridge (5) to add food grade phosphates.
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 Item No. 42-34362 (5
micron): Sediment cartridges remove sand, silt, clay,
dirt, and other sediments from water. The 25 micron
cartridge filters larger sediments from water, and alĆ
lows higher flows at less pressure drop. The 5 micron
cartridge filters finer sediments from water, usually to
a single faucet.
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
available. These are:
(2) Sears Item No. 42-34370: for 95% chlorine
reduction,
and Sears Item No. 42-34372: for 99% chlorine
reduction
(3) Sears Item No. 42-34365: for 99% chlorine
reduction, plus chemical contaminants
(4) Sears Item No. 42-34377: for 99% chlorine
reduction, plus 95% lead reduction
To filter sediments or tastes and odors from all house
water, locate the water filter housing on the main waĆ
ter supply pipe. You can also filter water to one fauĆ
cet. For example, install the filter under the kitchen
sink to filter the cold drinking water. Refer to the folĆ
lowing drawings. Typically, taste and odor filters are
installed to filter water to 1 faucet only. Refer to the folĆ
lowing drawings.
