Everpure 2CB5-S Water Filter Cartridge (EV961722)
The Everpure 2CB5-S Water Filter Cartridge delivers high-quality water for vending, office coffee service, and ice machine applications. It features carbon block filtration to reduce chlorine taste and odor while filtering dirt and sediment as small as 5 microns. Additionally, its built-in scale inhibitor helps minimize limescale buildup, preventing equipment downtime and improving energy efficiency. This filter is NSF/ANSI Standard 42 certified, ensuring safety and performance.
Advanced Filtration for Better Water Quality
Unfiltered water contains chlorine, sediment, and other contaminants that affect beverage taste and quality. The Pentair Everpure 2CB5-S filter cartridge effectively addresses these concerns by:
- Removing chlorine taste and odour to improve beverage quality.
- Reducing dirt and fine particles down to 5 microns, ensuring cleaner water.
- Incorporating a scale inhibitor to prevent limescale buildup, reducing maintenance costs and extending the lifespan of appliances.
How It Works
The Everpure 2CB5-S Water Filter Cartridge uses carbon block filtration to remove unwanted impurities while maintaining essential minerals. Unlike standard filters, this model includes a scale inhibitor to prevent calcium and magnesium deposits from accumulating in coffee machines, vending equipment, and ice makers.
- Step 1: Water enters the filter, passing through carbon block media to remove sediment, chlorine, and contaminants.
- Step 2: The scale inhibitor slows down mineral buildup, protecting internal components from scale-related damage.
- Step 3: Clean, fresh-tasting water flows through, enhancing beverage quality and equipment efficiency.
Ideal Applications
The 2CB5-S filter cartridge is best suited for:
- Office coffee machines (OCS): Helps maintain consistent flavor by reducing chlorine taste and odor.
- Vending machines: Ensures clean water for beverage dispensers, preventing clogging.
- Foodservice environments: Protects steam ovens and ice machines from mineral scale that can lead to breakdowns.
- High sediment areas: Ideal for locations with visible particles or sediment in the water supply.
Limescale Reduction & Equipment Protection
What is Scale?
Scale forms when hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium precipitate out of water, creating white, crusty deposits inside coffee machines, steam ovens, and ice makers. Over time, this buildup can lead to clogged pipes, inefficient heating, and costly repairs.
How Does the 2CB5-S Help?
The Everpure 2CB5-S water filter cartridge integrates a scale inhibitor to reduce mineral buildup. By reducing scale accumulation, this filter:
- Extends the life of coffee machines, steamers, and vending equipment.
- Maintains consistent water flow, preventing clogs and pump failures.
- Lowers energy costs by improving heat transfer efficiency.
