FOLLETT
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about FOLLETT from 3G Electric.
What is the micron rating of Follett quick-connect water filters?
Follett quick-connect water filters, such as the 883VC5 and 883VC6, have a 0.5 micron filtration rating. This rating indicates the filter's ability to capture particles down to 0.5 microns in size. The 883VC5 reduces scale, while the 883VC6 uses carbon media to reduce bacteria. Both are designed for ice machines and refrigerators. The 0.5 micron rating is common across these models and is specified for applications where fine filtration is required to protect equipment and maintain water quality. When selecting a filter, verify the micron rating matches the requirements of your ice machine or refrigerator model.
What is the flow rate of the Follett 414RY3 carbon filter system?
The Follett 414RY3 carbon filter system has a flow rate of 2 gpm (gallons per minute). This system uses carbon media to reduce cysts in water supplied to ice machines and refrigerators. The 2 gpm flow rate is suitable for applications requiring a higher volume of filtered water. It is important to ensure that the flow rate matches the demand of your equipment to avoid pressure drops or insufficient filtration. The system also has a 0.5 micron filtration rating. For specific installation requirements, consult the equipment manual or a qualified technician.
What does the Follett 883VC6 filter reduce?
The Follett 883VC6 quick-connect water filter uses carbon media to reduce bacteria. It has a 0.5 micron filtration rating and a flow rate of 0.5 gpm. The filter is designed for ice machines and refrigerators. Its overall height is 14 7/8 inches and diameter is 3 1/8 inches. This filter is part of Follett's line of quick-connect filters that simplify replacement. When selecting a filter, consider the specific contaminants you need to reduce and verify that the filter's capabilities align with your water quality requirements. Regular replacement according to the manufacturer's schedule helps maintain performance.
What is the difference between Follett 883VC5 and 883VC6 filters?
The Follett 883VC5 and 883VC6 are both quick-connect water filters with a 0.5 micron rating, but they differ in their reduction capabilities and specifications. The 883VC5 reduces scale and has a 1-inch overall height. The 883VC6 uses carbon media to reduce bacteria, has a flow rate of 0.5 gpm, an overall height of 14 7/8 inches, and a diameter of 3 1/8 inches. These differences make them suitable for different applications: the 883VC5 for scale reduction in tight spaces, and the 883VC6 for bacterial reduction where carbon filtration is needed. Always match the filter to the specific requirements of your ice machine or refrigerator.
What media does the Follett 414RY3 filter system use?
The Follett 414RY3 filter system uses carbon media. This carbon media is effective in reducing cysts from the water supply. The system is designed for ice machines and refrigerators and has a 0.5 micron filtration rating and a 2 gpm flow rate. Carbon media is commonly used in water filtration to improve taste and odor and to remove certain contaminants. When replacing the filter, ensure that you use the correct replacement cartridge specified for the 414RY3 system to maintain performance and warranty compliance. Consult the product documentation for replacement part numbers and intervals.
Are Follett water filters compatible with all ice machines?
Follett water filters are designed specifically for Follett ice machines and refrigerators, but they may also be compatible with other brands if the specifications match. Compatibility depends on factors such as connection type, flow rate, micron rating, and physical dimensions. For example, the 883VC5 has a 1-inch overall height and quick-connect design, while the 883VC6 has a 14 7/8 inch height and 3 1/8 inch diameter. Before installing a Follett filter on a non-Follett machine, verify that the filter's specifications meet the equipment's requirements. Using the correct filter ensures proper filtration and avoids damage. Consult the equipment manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
