Whirlpool WHER12 / WHER18 filter FAQ
What filters does the Whirlpool WHER18 use?
Our WHER12 / WHER18 kits use two 10" × 2" carbon block filters and a 50 GPD TFC membrane. Both canisters take the same carbon block (Filtrex FXWF-1000), so you buy two. The
WHER12 / WHER18 set has both filters and the membrane.
Do the WHER12 and WHER18 take the same filters?
Yes. Our WHER12 / WHER18 set and annual kit use the same carbon blocks and membrane for both models.
How often should I change WHER12 / WHER18 filters?
Change the carbon blocks about every 6 months (the FXWF-1000 is rated for 3,000 gallons or 6 months). The membrane usually lasts 2 to 3 years.
Will this kit fit my Kenmore or Sears reverse osmosis system?
Some Kenmore and Sears under-sink RO units were built on the same platform, but we have not confirmed a full Kenmore model list. Our kit uses 10" × 2" carbon blocks and a 1.8" × 10" membrane, so compare those sizes to your old filters. Not sure? Call (714) 541-6600 with your model number.
I need Kenmore 42-34377 or 42-34370 cartridges. Are these the same?
No. The 42-34377 / 42-34370 is a different, larger carbon block cartridge. We sell a
compatible 3-pack.
