Maintenance
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.

625.384610 with replacement cartridges 42-38480
(Sediment, 5 Micron)* and 42-34373 (Taste & Odor,
Premium) has been tested and certified by NSF interna-
tional for the reduction of chlorine taste and odor. The
rated capacity for this system is 4,500 gallons (17,034
liters) at a rated service flow of 0.6 gpm (gallons per

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.
