This Everpure water filter is the I4000-2, which has a micron rating of .5. It measures 25 inches in height and 3.25 inches in diameter, and it is intended for use in ice machine filtration systems. The capacity of this replacement cartridge is 12,000 gallons and it has a maximum service flow rate of 1.67 gpm. The water flows into the top of the filter cartridge, down through the inlet tube, and into the filter chamber. The filter chamber features a pleated filter membrane that is coated with Micro-Pure, which is a blend of high quality activated carbon. The Micro-Pure coats the filter membrane throughout the life of the cartridge and the water flows freely through the filter, even if the water pressure changes. Incoming pressure forces the water through the Micro-Pure and through the filter membrane, and the Micro-Pure openings are so small that any particle that is 1/2 micron or larger is removed from the water. Then, the filtered water flows up through the filter membrane and out of the water filtration system.
This commercial water filter cartridge reduces abrasions, clogging, and scale build-up. It has features to provide chlorine reduction, scale inhibition, submicron particle reduction, antimicrobial protection, and cyst reduction. Bad tastes and foul odors are removed from the water to provide clear and safe ice cubes in your ice making machine. It is important that you change the replacement filter cartridge every six months or when the water pressure falls below 10 psi. When installing your water filter, allow a 2 1/2 inch clearance below the cartridge for easy removal, and be sure that you flush the cartridge for five minutes by running water through the system at full flow. A one year warranty covering defective parts and workmanship backs this ice machine water filter, and it is also NSF approved.
