A. SAFETY GUIDES

S
C
T

• Read all steps, guides and rules carefully before installing and using your new water filter. Follow all steps exactly to correctly install.
Failure to follow them could cause personal injury or property damage. Reading this book will also help you to get all of the benefits from
your water filter.
• Your automatic filter will remove iron from your water supply as described on page 2-3. Also see the specifications on page 4-1. It will
not soften hard water, purify contaminated water, or make other unsafe
water safe to drink. Sears advises you to install a water softener, along
with the iron filter, to remove iron that may get through the filter.
•
Protect the filter and piping from freezing.
voids the filter warranty. See page 3-3.

Damage from freezing

• Connect the filter to the house COLD water (120 ° max.) pipe only.
DO NOT CONNECT TO HOT WATER. Hot water will damage inner parts
and weaken or break the tank or bottle.

CAUTIONS
PLEASE READ AND COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING GUIDES
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE FILTER OR OTHER PROPERTY,
PERSONAL INJURY, OR POSSIBLE FATAL SHOCK.
• THIS FILTER WORKS ON 24 VOLTS ONLY. BE SURE TO USE
THE TRANSFORMER INCLUDED, AND PLUG IT INTO A
GROUNDED 120V OUTLET.
•
Unplug the transformer right away if the power cable should
become damaged or frayed. Make repairs before plugging back
into the power outlet.
• Always unplug the filter from electrical power before removing outer valve covers.

B. IRON IN WATER / HOW FILTER REMOVES

WORKS

IMPORTANT:
Sears water filters are sometimes
installed alone in the water system, but most often other water treating equipment
is needed. Always be sure to have your water tested by a qualified
testing laboratory.
If you need help, ask at your Sears store, or call the Kenmore
Water Line, 1- 800- 426- 9345.

FILL water flows to a bottle filled with potassium
permanganate
powder
during the first stage of recharge. The bottle fills with water to a preset level,
until stopped
by a float shutoff. In the bottle, water
dissolves
some of the potassium
permanganate
powder

cycle. The fill cycle lasts for 1-1/2 minutes.

The iron filter is filled with a special manganese
coated mineral. The filtering mineral bed is made up
of thousands
of small, odd shaped,
pebble
like
pieces. The mineral
does two things; (1) OXIDIZES
iron and, (2) FILTERS iron.

During the 80 minute
SOLUTION
DRAW/RINSE,
potassium
permanganate
solution
is
passed
through
the filter mineral
to replace the oxygen. A
suction takes the solution from the bottle and puts
it into the mineral
tank. The potassium
permanganate rinses slowly
through
the filtering
mineral,
then goes out of the filter to the drain.

(1)OXIDIZE - Iron most often is dissolved
(clear water iron) in water supplies.
You can't see it and, in
this form, it is not filterable.

B. CLEANING

THE NOZZLE AND VENTURI

A clean nozzle and venturi
(Figure 10) is a must for
the filter to work right. This small unit moves potassium permanganate
solution
from the bottle, into
the mineral bed during
solution draw (page 2- 3). If
the nozzle and venturi
becomes
plugged
with iron,
sand, silt, dirt, etc., it cannot make the suction to

should.

Clean the nozzle and venturi
each time you change

To begin a regeneration, the solid state timer energizes the circuit to the
valve motor. The valve motor rotatesthe rotorand diseand thevalve cam
untilthe positionswitch leverdrops toopen the motorcirucitand position the
valve in FILL. As the rotorand disc rotates, the portopens for FILTERED
water fill through the venturi. Fill flow continues to the solution bottle,
regulated by the fill flow plug. The bo_e refills until the float becomes
buoyant and forces the bibwasher o-ring seal against the seat. If it fails to
seal, excessive fill water goes to the drain untilthe valve exits the fill cycle.
As the water stands in the bottle, it slowly dissolves about 2 oz. of the
potassium permanganate powder atthe "A" setting(1 oz. at the "B" setting).

After fill, timer/switch action allows the motor to turn the rotor
and disc into SOLUTION DRAW position. Water flow is directed
to the nozzle. Suction, created by the nozzle and venturi, pulls
the feeder diaphragm down to unseat the bib washer o-ring
seal. Solution is drawn from the bottle, through the feeder valve,
and through the nozzle assembly to the filter tank. The solution rinses slowly through the mineral bed to restore oxygen
used during service. Rinse water flows to the drain.

Switching action again allows the motor to turn the rotor & disc to place the
valve in BACKWASH, stopping water flow to the nozzle. Water is routed
down and out the bottom distributor, up through the bed, and out the top
distributor to the drain. The fast flow (controlled by a flow plug in the drain
fitting) flushes dirt, sediments, iron deposits, and remaining solution to the
drain.

BOTTOM
DISTRIBUTOR

During FAST RINSE, the rotor & disc is positioned so water flow enters the
mineral tank through the top distributor, and exits through the bottom
distributor, to the drain. The fast flow of water downward through the
mineral bed flushes any remaining solution to the drain. The mineral bed is
packed and prepared for return to service.
The solid state timer again energizes the motor to return the valve to
As the valve rotates, the position switch lever drops to open the
circuit. The valve remains positioned in service until the timer initiates the
next regeneration.
