FILTER CARTRIDGE / USEFUL LIFE / REPLACEMENT
FILTER CARTRIDGE LIFE
Several variables determine how long a cartridge
win 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.
Kenmore system model 625.384600 with replace­
ment elements 42-34370 and 42-34377 has been
tested and certified by NSF International for the re­
duction of protozoan cysts, lead and chlorine. The
rated capacity for this system is 1000 gallons.
Other filter cartridges are available from Sears to re­
move sediments, tastes and odors, and chemical con­
taminants. Following is 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
rine taste and smeU, 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.

Sediment Filter Cartridge, Sears Item No. 42-34360

clay, dirt, and other sediments from water. The 25
micron cartridge filters larger sediments from water,
and allows higher flows at less pressure drop.
