Water Treatment Filter Cartridges
Filter cartridges to remove (1) sediments, (2) tastes and
odors, and (3) tastes, odors and sediments are available
for use in the Heavy Duty Whole House Water Filter.
Filter cartridges are not included with this water filter.
Your Sears store has a selection of the different types of
filter cartridges available.
SEDIMENT FILTER CARTRIDGES
Sediment cartridges remove sand, silt, clay, rust, dirt,
and other sediments from water. For example, a 30
micron cartridge filters larger sediments, and allows
higher flows at less pressure drop. A 5 micron cartridge
filters finer sediments from water, often to a single
faucet.
TASTE & ODOR CARTRIDGES
Many bad tastes and/or odors are reduced from water
using an activated carbon cartridge. It is most often
used to remove chlorine taste and odor.
The Taste and Odor Cartridges available are for taste and
odor reduction, and sediment reduction.
Plan Your Installation
INSTALLATION LOCATION
To filter sediments or tastes and odors from all house
water, locate the Heavy Duty Water Filter on the main
water supply pipe (See Figure 1). You can also filter
water to one faucet. For example, install the filter under
the kitchen sink to filter the cold drinking water (See
Figure 2).
PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
When planning the installation, first read the preceding
filter cartridge information to determine where to locate
the water filter housing. Then, use the drawings on Page
6 as a guide. There are many variables to consider as
you plan. Some of these are:
The Heavy Duty Water Filter inlet and outlet internal
threads are 1" NPT
Existing plumbing type (copper, threaded, etc.) and
nominal size (1/2", 3/4", 1" etc.)
Tools you have, and your plumbing skills
Space available for installing the Heavy Duty Water
Filter
Make a simple sketch of your proposed installation, and
a list of plumbing materials you will need. Obtain
everything you need before starting the installation.
