Today March 17th, 2017, approximately 56.1% of Americans plan to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day according to Wallet Hub. What originally began as a religious holiday has grown to be a day of celebrating Irish culture, dancing, parades, a lot of green and the luck of the Irish. While many of us will hit the pubs and bars to enjoy the very best in green beverages, restaurants are making sure that they are ready for the big day too. Last year over 126 million people in the U.S. celebrated St. Patrick’s Day and average spending was $37 per person. That would make the total spent last year more than $4.6 billion dollars. That’s BILLION with a B and this year the expectation is for $5.3 billion and $38 per person.
Thankfully at Filter Pure Systems we have you covered to make sure your kitchen equipment is ready for the big day and the celebration to continue into this weekend. One of our most popular items is the Everpure High-flow CSR Quad MC2 System (EV9437-11), with low flow alarm.
This NSF 42 and NSF 53 system with bacteriostatic system , includes the 20” pre-filter, EV9534-12 that captures large dirt particles and the very famous MC2, EV9612-56,( “Note lucky Irish Green Color on the cartridge and MC actually means McDonald’s Cold, it was designed with the McDonald’s Corporation to make a coke dispensed into a cup taste like one right out of the can). Nothing has been left to chance with the MC2, EV9612-56 in providing crystal clear “Filtered Pure” water using Everpure pre-coat filtration technology that removes asbestos fibers and cysts such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia and Entamoeba. This system provides two sources of treated water with the addition of the SR-X Scale inhibitor to help keep scale from building up in the ice machines and coffee brewers. It has an overall capacity of 36,000 gallons. Many restaurants favor this system because it not only helps protect kitchen equipment but it can take care of multiple appliances at a time while also making sure that customers are getting the best drinks possible. A customer can tell right away by simply having a glass of water if your water is being treated and if you care about the quality of the beverages and food that you are serving in your facility.

One of the most common questions we hear from our customers is in regards to how frequently a water filter cartridge should be changed. Whether it’s a standard sediment or carbon filter, every customer has one key priority in mind: How Long Will I Have Dependably Clean, Great Tasting Water? In other words, how can I be sure that my filter is still reducing the impurities that can impact the flavor of my water? Our standard answer: It depends. The frequency of filter changes depends upon your water quality and your water usage. For example, if there are a lot of sediment particulates in your water, then you will have to change your filters more frequently than someone with little to no sediment. If you are a large restaurant consuming large amounts of water a minute or a hospital with large ice machines, then your usage will demand more frequent filter changes. Having said that, we suggest replacement schedules that are generally as follows: 
The most common Everpure Filtration System, mainly seen in the back of the house of restaurants should be changed every 6 months, or every 36,000 gallons. The 
For water filtration on ice machines, sometimes it can be difficult knowing when to change the filters, especially if you see no difference in the ice.

We recommend every 6 months or however many gallons are specified on the water filters. For the system pictured to the left, the 
The Coke freestyle machine is the most exciting development in cold dispensed beverages and it’s no wonder! As a fountain dispenser that can serve up more than 100 different drink brands from a single machine that requires no more space than a standard six- or eight-valve dispenser and all via touch screen, this machine is revolutionizing the food service industry and for the better. The Freestyle was first tested in restaurants and now can be spotted in airports and movie theaters across the United States. They haven’t transitioned into convenience stores yet, but Coke says tests are underway in retail environments. What does this mean for Filter Pure? While we are excited about concocting our own specialty drinks from these freestyle machines when we dine out, the Coke Freestyle machine has even bigger implications for the filter industry! Because all Coca-Cola freestyle machines require filtration systems the filtration businesses benefit too! All filters must meet NSF standard 42 and the dispensing system requires approximately 120 gallons per hour dispenser when in operation. Our Everpure systems are approved by coke to be the filtration system of choice with this modern machine and assist the development by providing reliable and enduring filtration nationwide as far and long as the machines keep multiplying.
