Everpure Claris water filter heads are an integral part of the Claris water filter system by Everpure. This system was designed to be used with hot water and is ideal for hot drink machines, steam cooking and brewed iced tea. It is unique in that it permits users to determine the amount of minerals they want in their water, allowing for improved flavor while still protecting equipment from the damages caused by hard water. It doesn’t waste water the way that a reverse osmosis system does, and yet it still helps to reduce energy costs and prevent costly de-liming procedures. The filter heads designed to fit the Everpure Claris filters are sturdy and long-lasting. They do not corrode, making them perfect for vending machines and the food service industry. There are three different models:

Both of the QCF filter heads come equipped with an automatic shut-off, a built-in flush port and an adjustable bypass; the BSP model includes all of these features as well as a flow restrictor and a backflow restrictor. All of them are commercial-grade water filter heads made specifically for Claris filter cartridges. The Claris heads are effortless to install. They do not need an electrical connection, and mounting them is merely a matter of following a simple illustration. The filter system can function as a freestanding unit, or it can be mounted to a wall or laid on its side. This makes it useable even in situations where space is limited. The only major requirements are that the water pressure leading to the system must be less than 116 psi and the shut-off valve must be placed upstream from the filter. If the pressure is too high, a pressure reducer valve should be fitted to the supply end of the system. For optimum performance of the Everpure Claris filter heads, it is important to change the filters once a year or whenever their water capacity is reached, whichever comes first. Following cartridge installation, flush out the system by turning the filter head clockwise. To determine whether the desired hardness level has been reached, utilize the Titration kit rather than checking mineral levels with hardness test strips. The Claris system can be used for any application where users desire to control the softness of their water. Typically, this includes coffee and espresso machines, steam cookers and ovens, and self-cooking systems.

What is Chloramine?

How to Remove it from your Water

For decades, chlorine has been the chemical disinfectant additive of choice for municipal water utilities throughout the United States. Recent changes in the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Act, however, are likely to adversely affect that traditional choice. The Act now includes the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, which mandates stricter controls of byproducts like trihalomethanes (THM). THM results from the reaction of chlorine with naturally-occurring organics found in pipelines and delivery systems. The EPA now requires that municipalities measure THM and maintain minimum ppm within the water system. The chemical disinfectant additive of the future is likely to be chloramine (NH2Cl), an inorganic compound created when a small amount of ammonia is added to chlorine. Like chlorine, the new compound is effective as a primary disinfectant, or as a “shock” treatment. Since it doesn’t dissipate as readily as chlorine gas, the compound is able to disinfect even to the far ends of the municipal pipelines. This helps make NH2Cl a cost-effective alternative to chlorine. The downside, however, is that chloramines are believed to be carcinogenic. The possible carcinogenic effects, as well as the direct affects chloramines have on some food service delivery system parts and taste quality of beverages make chloramine removal an important consideration for food service companies. Standard carbon filters already in place are not effective because chloramines require substantially more of the highest-quality carbon for effective filtration. Additionally, chloramines need more contact time with carbon because the chloramines-carbon reaction is weak. chloramine reduction Everpure has a solution in its new chloramine filter products. The quick-change system offers a balanced particulate/chloramines reduction capacity that will prove cost-effective for food service companies. The CLM Chloramine Cartridge systems fit all existing QC heads, which allows an easy transition from current chlorine filtration to chloramine filter system. The highest-quality carbon is used as part of the chloramine removal cartridge system, with ratings balanced between particulate and chloramines removal. This allows food service groups to select the appropriate cartridge for their specific needs. The Everpure CLM products are designed to accommodate fountain beverage and combination systems.

Pentair Reports Exceptional Growth

Pentair Incorporated, one of FilterPure Systems leading brands has shown record growth over the last 52 weeks and during the first financial quarter 2011. Driven by sales growth in emerging markets as well as across Europe and the United States, Pentair reported $790 million in first quarter sales, improving company financials and prospects for future growth. “The first quarter was a great start to the year, with 12 percent organic revenue growth, meaningful margin expansion and excellent earnings growth. Our investments are yielding positive results, particularly evident in our geographic expansion, strong innovation and productivity gains,” said Randall J. Hogan, Pentair chairman and chief executive officer. Hogan added “Strong demand in the industrial end markets continued, along with rapid growth in fast growth markets, led by China where sales were up 26 percent. While the U.S. residential end market continues its modest recovery, demand for our energy-efficient and sustainable product offerings remains solid.” Pentair and investors alike are taking these improvements to be a positive signal for the future. While the company is banking on its hefty Q1 sales figures and growth in working capital to push free cash flow north of $240 million for the whole of 2011, investors are fixated on the firm’s 18.3 P/E ratio, a healthy margin below the industry average of 19.9, making Pentair the obvious immediate choice when considering the addition of water or technical products to the portfolio. Additionally, Pentair offered a 2.1% dividend yield, adding further allure to their present stock. The future looks bright as well. According to Hogan, Pentair’s plans for the remainder of the fiscal year include margin expansion, as well as “pricing and productivity [that] more than offset inflation.” Further bolstering Pentair’s outlook is the recently announced acquisition by the firm of Norit’s Clean Process Technologies, the 2011 winner of the Global Water Summit’s “Water Technology Company of the Year” award.
