Plan Your Installation
INSTALLATION LOCATION
To filter sediments from all house water, locate the
Deluxe Multi-Purpose Water Filter on the main water
supply pipe (See Figure 1). Please ask your Sears associate about products that will remove taste and odor from
your water throughout your home. 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 “Water
Treatment Filter Cartridges” section on Page 10 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 Deluxe Multi-Purpose Water Filter inlet and out-
let internal threads are 3/4" NPT
Existing plumbing type (copper, threaded, etc.) and
nominal size (1/2", 3/4", etc.)
Tools you have, and your plumbing skills
Space available for installing the Deluxe Multi-
Purpose 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.
