FILTER CARTRIDGE / USEFUL LIFE / REPLACEMENT
FILTER CARTRIDGE LIFE
Several variables determine how long a cartridge
will last. These include:
1. how much water you use.
2. how much sediment, taste and/or odor, or other
unwanted substance, is 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 no-
tice the return of the unwanted substance in your
water.

Other filter cartridges are available from Sears to re-
move sediments, tastes and odors. Followingis a list
of filter cartridges available.
Taste and Odor Cartridges: Many bad tastes and/or
odors are removed from water by an activated car-
bon cartridge. It is most often used to remove chlo-
fine 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
carbon media. Consult your Sears store for proper
continuous treatment.
