Water Filter Replacement Cartridge Guide

Ice Machine Water Filter Cartridges

Water Filter Cartridges are an essential part of any Ice Maker Water Filter System. They act as a filter to the water to ensure that no contaminants are let into the ice cubes. The water passes through the cartridge, removing contaminants, and then flows into the ice machine.

Water Filter Cartridges are available in a wide range of different materials and designs. They are available in different materials such as Carbon Filters, Ceramic Filters, Reverse Osmosis Filters, and more. Each type of Water Filter Cartridge has its own advantages and disadvantages.

• Bacteria/Viruses

  Water filtration systems can reduce the level of bacteria and viruses in water by up to 99%. This is mainly due to the fact that water filtration systems are designed to trap larger particles, which leaves only small microbes in the water.

Some Bacteria/Virus Water Filters Are:

• 3M HF90-S Replacement Cartridge for ICE190-S Water Filtration System

• Everpure EV961222 i2000 Filter Cartridge

• Scotsman SSMRC1 Replacement Cartridge

• Sediment

  Sediment filters are the standard type of filter you’ll find almost everywhere. They are great at preventing everyday dirt and particles from entering your ice supply which can affect the taste and clarity of your water.

Some Sediment Water Filters Are:

• Manitowoc K00496 Replacement Water Pre-Filter Cartridge

• Ice-O-Matic IOMQ Water Filter Replacement Cartridge

• Everpure EV910832 Costguard CGT-20 Drop-In Replacement Cartridge

• Chlorine

  Carbon filters are the most common filter used to remove chlorine and chloramines from your drinking water. The carbon absorbs the chlorine and chloramines, which lets you enjoy cleaner and healthier-tasting water. This process is also used to reduce the presence of contaminants like iron, manganese, sulfur, carbon, and many others.

Some Chlorine Water Filters Are:

• 3M HF25 High Flow Series SQC Replacement Cartridge

• Everpure EV9693-31 4FC5-S Water Filter Replacement Cartridge

• 3M CFSCB10 9 3/4" Drop-In Style Replacement Cartridge

• Scaling

  A scaling filter is designed to reduce the amount of scale that may come through the waterline. Limescale is a mineral deposit that can accumulate inside your ice machine and negatively affect the quality of your ice. This happens when the water used in the ice machine’s process comes into contact with minerals in your water supply.

  Some Scaling Water Filters Are:

  • Manitowoc K00339 Replacement Water Filter Cartridge

  • 3M CARTPAK DP190 Replacement Cartridge Kit

  • Everpure EV960601 7SI Replacement Cartridge

• Taste

  A taste-based filter removes mostly minerals and bacteria that relate to the taste and smell of your water. If the taste is off, then there is a good chance that the water used has minerals in it that cause that particular flavor. Taste can be affected by heavy metals like lead, nitrates, and pesticides as well as chlorides, fluorides, and other chemicals.

Some Taste Water Filters Are:

• 3M HF20 Sediment, Cyst, Chlorine, Taste and Odor Reduction Cartridge

• Everpure EV960700 7DBG Replacement Cartridge
