PENTAIR/EVERPURE
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PENTAIR/EVERPURE from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the Pentair/Everpure quick-connect and drop-in water filter cartridges?
Quick-connect cartridges use a proprietary connector that allows cartridge changes without tools or shutting off the water supply in many configurations. Drop-in cartridges are inserted into an existing housing or manifold and are typically secured by the housing design. Both types are available in the Pentair/Everpure line. Selection depends on the existing filter head or system in place. For example, SKU 53GK24 is a quick-connect ice machine and refrigerator filter, while SKU 53GK21 is a drop-in drinking fountain and beverage machine cartridge. Matching the cartridge style to the installed head is necessary for proper fit and sealing.
What micron ratings are available in Pentair/Everpure water filter cartridges and systems?
Pentair/Everpure filtration products in the 3G Electric catalog include 0.5 micron and 10 micron ratings. The 0.5 micron rating is found in models such as the EV961222-75 quick-connect ice machine filter, the EV910857-75 drop-in drinking fountain cartridge, the EV932802-75 multi-purpose system, the EV932504-75 ice machine system, and the EV932461 ice machine system. The 10 micron rating is used in the EV953426-75 sediment reduction cartridge for general-purpose pre-filter systems. Lower micron ratings capture finer particles; higher micron ratings are typically used for sediment pre-filtration to protect downstream equipment.
Which Pentair/Everpure filters reduce scale and chloramine?
Scale reduction is addressed by models using polyphosphate or Hydroblend polyphosphate media, such as the EV979922-75 quick-connect multi-purpose filter and the EV932504-75 ice machine and refrigerator system. Chloramine reduction is specified for the EV932461 ice machine and refrigerator system, which uses carbon filter media with a 0.5 micron rating. Chlorine taste reduction is listed for the EV932802-75 multi-purpose system. Buyers should verify the specific reduction claim for the target application, as media types differ across the line and not all models target the same contaminants.
What flow rates and capacities do Pentair/Everpure ice machine and refrigerator water filter systems offer?
Flow rates for ice machine and refrigerator systems in the 3G Electric catalog range from 2 gpm to 6.7 gpm. The EV932461 system is rated at 2 gpm with a 0.5 micron carbon filter for chloramine reduction. The EV932504-75 system is rated at 6.7 gpm with a 0.5 micron carbon filter for scale reduction. The EV961222-75 quick-connect cartridge is rated at 1.7 gpm with Agion media for bacteria reduction. Capacity varies by model and is not specified for all units; where listed, capacities range from 10,000 gallons for drop-in cartridges to 200,000 gallons for high-capacity drinking fountain and beverage machine systems.
Are Pentair/Everpure water filters NSF certified?
Some Pentair/Everpure cartridges and systems carry NSF 42 and NSF 53 listings. For example, the EV910857-75 drop-in drinking fountain and beverage machine cartridge is listed to NSF 42 and NSF 53. NSF 42 covers aesthetic effects such as chlorine taste and odor, while NSF 53 covers health-related contaminants. Certification is model-specific. Buyers should confirm the NSF listing for the exact SKU being specified, as not all products in the line carry the same certifications.
What connection types are used on Pentair/Everpure multi-purpose water filter systems?
Pentair/Everpure multi-purpose water filter systems in the 3G Electric catalog use NPT connections. The EV932802-75 multi-purpose system uses NPT connections and is rated at 3.3 gpm with an 18,000 gallon capacity. The EV943732-75 drinking fountain and beverage machine system uses 1 inch NPT connections and is rated at 15 gpm with a 200,000 gallon capacity. Quick-connect models use a proprietary quick-connect fitting rather than threaded NPT. Matching the connection type to the existing plumbing is required for installation.
