water softener, installed on the outlet side of the
pressure tank, filters and softens the water If you
do not like a remaining chlorine taste, Sears has
taste and odor filters to remove it.
(2) HYDROGEN SULFIDE WATER — Many water
supplies contain hydrogen sulfide (sulphur).
Dissolved hydrogen sulfide gas, in underground
water, gives the water a bad taste and/or odor
similar to rotten eggs. This water is often corro­
sive and may stain sinks and faucets.
A Sears Solution Dispensing System feeding
chlorine, oxidizes hydrogen sulfide and other
sulfides making them tasteless and odorless If
the water has both hydrogen sulfide and iron,
Sears urges you to install an Automatic Clarifier
along with the dispensing system install aSears
Taste and Odor filter to remove chlorine taste
and odor
(3) ACID WATER — Water is measured on a pH
scale of Oto 14. Water with a pH of 7 0 is neutral.
and over 7.0 it's basic (alkaline), If the pH is less
than 7 0, the water contains too much acid Acid
water cor rodes galvanized and copper plumbing,
and makes red orblue-green stains on plumbing
fixtures, dishes and clothes. It often adds a bitter
taste to the water because of dissolved copper or
iron caused by the corroding.
Sears Neutralizer Compound, Stock No 42­
34475, fed into the water by a Sears Solution
Dispensing System raises the pH to7,.0 making it
neutral. Neutralized, the water will no longer
corrode or stain.
(4) ACID WATER, AND IRON BACTERIA, HY­
DROGEN SULFIDE OR HIGH AMOUNTS OF
IRON “ A mixture of Sears Neutralizing Com­
pound, Stock No 42-34475, and chlorine treats
acid water that also has iron, bacteria or hydro­
gen sulfide The neutralizer raises the pH of the
water to help the chlorine oxidize the iron or
hydrogen sulfide Oxidized, the iron or hydrogen
sulfide is filtered with a Sears Automatic Clarifier.
HAS YOUR WATER SUPPLY HAD CHEMICAL
ANALYSIS? A chemical analysis tells you the
types and amounts of elements in the water.
These facts determine what size and type of water
treating equipment is needed, and how to cor­
rectly use it If your water needs analysis, call or
write your nearest Sears store for help.
CHECK YOUR WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
PRESSURE, For your solution dispensing system
to work right, water system pressure must be less
than 75 psi. If pressure is over 75 psi, buy and
install a pressure reducing valve or adjust the
pump pressure switch. NOTE: If daytime pressure
is 60 psi or more, pressure during the night hours
may go over 75 psi.
If you have a well water system, look at the
pressure gauge to find the water pressure. Call
your local water department if you have city water..
They will tel! you what the water pressure is where
you live.
