Introduction
Use this guide to replace the filter for an American Plumber Water Filter housing model # WC34-PR.
The filter sifts out sediment from the water source entering your house. These particles can harm appliances in your home, and damage water pipes.
Replace the American Plumber Water Filter every 4 months. Replace the filter earlier if there is sediment in the house water or the filter looks dirty.
