WHAT YOUR CLARIFYING FILTER WILL DO
A Sears Clarifying Filter takes sediments such as dirt,
sand, silt, clay, and fine organic matter out of water. You
can see sediments in water by filling a clear drinking
glass. When held up to light, you can see the particles
floating in the water, or settled to the bottom of the glass.
The filter is filled with “filter aggregate” mineral that traps
and holds the sediments £is the water flows through it.
The Clarifier is sometimes installed alone, but is often
followed by a water softener. Besides softening the water.
the water softener catches sediments that may get
through the filter. Sears Water Analysts Laboratory will
test your water and tell you what equipment you need
(see page 5).
NOTE: If you will install the clarifying filter along with a
Sears Solution Dispensing System, read the dispensing
system owners manual for treating a private well before
installing.
