ASHRAE STANDARD 188 Ice Machine Compliance

To date in 2015 we have seen large outbreaks of Legionella in both New York and Chicago sickening over 174 and killing 20. Legionnaires’ Disease is not very common, but when there is an outbreak in a hospital, hotel or casino, the story makes headlines. This is because an outbreak often results in severe illness or, more tragically, loss of life, and millions of dollars in lawsuits. Legionnaires’ Disease, also known as Legionellosis, is caused by a bacteria (L. pneumophila) that is found in certain water supplies. For people with weakened immune systems, the disease can lead to a fatal case of pneumonia which is why there is high concern about the risk of Legionella in hospitals.  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), hospital patients who contract Legionella only have a 20%-60% chance of surviving.( Bartram, Chartier, Lee, Pond, Surman-Lee (2007). Legionella and the prevention of legionellosis. World Health Organization, 1.1.1:2.). Pentair Everpure has earned its worldwide reputation as a trusted name in water treatment. Our more than 80 years of expertise has yielded filtration solutions that provide superior quality water. We have specially-designed filtration systems to help protect patients and staff from the waterborne bacteria that causes Legionnaires’ Disease.

HOW DOES ASHRAE STANDARD 188 IMPACT ICE MACHINES?

According to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), one of the reasons that ASHRAE Standard 188:  Prevention of Legionellosis Associated with Building Water Systems is being developed to help prevent the high fatality rate for hospital patients that contract Legionella. This standard is designed to prevent the bacteria from entering and/ or reproducing in a hospital water system. The standard places responsibility for water safety on everyone associated with the design, construction, installation, ownership, operation, management, and maintenance of a building’s water system. The cold water dispensers of hospital ice machines have been proven to be a potential source of Legionella. Two studies, in 1985 and 1997, traced Legionella directly to the ice.2 ASHRAE Standard 188P requires that the HACCP plan include all potable water systems, including ice machines. If the potable water system, such as an ice machine, has “incoming potable water containing less than 0.5 mg/l residual halogen such as chlorine”, it is a risk factor for Legionella. 2   Stout JE, Yu VL, Muraca P (1985). Isolation of Legionella pneumophila from the cold water of hospital ice machines:  implications for origin and transmission of the organism. Infection Control, 6:141–146. 7SI Pentair® Everpure® has cost-effective, application-specific filtration systems that will allow a hospital to keep its ice machines in compliance with ASHRAE Standard 188, and help provide critical protection from protozoan cysts and scale damage: the 4SI and 7SI Carbonless Water Filters from Pentair Everpure. These unique water filters provide a number of important benefits: •  Compliance with ASHRAE Standard 188. Allow municipal chlorine and chloramine residual to pass through to the ice machine. •  Slime Reduction. Chlorine can help to reduce the growth of slime and bacteria inside the ice machine. •  Cyst Reduction. Submicron media reduces cysts such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia that can cause waterborne diseases in humans (reduction occurs by mechanical means*). •  Scale Protection. Scale inhibitor reduces scale deposits that can cause downtime, maintenance calls and increased service costs. Scale can also result in the clogging of distribution lines, freeze-up on evaporator plates, and cause pumps, solenoids and probes to malfunction or fail. •  Particulate Reduction. Pentair’s proprietary Fibredyne™ media has superior dirt-holding capabilities versus conventional carbon block filters. •  Retrofits Everpure Brand Filter Heads. Quickly and easily convert Everpure Insurice®, 4/7CB5-S and 7FC-S Systems to 4SI and 7SI Systems simply by swapping out the filter cartridges. There’s no need to remove an old filter head and invest in a new one, which saves you money and labor. •  The 4SI System Fits in Tight Spaces. Its space-saving size allows for easy placement behind a countertop ice machine or inside a cabinet. •  Easy to Install and Maintain. •  Certified to NSF Standards 42 and 53. •  Carries the Pentair Everpure Name. Everpure has been providing water solutions for over 80 years, and is one of the most respected brands in water filtration worldwide.

Are you drinking enough water?

Approximately 70% of the human body is water and none of the essential physical functions, such as breathing, digestion, or muscle movement could take place without water and more than likely you are not drinking enough of it.

What are the FACTS about not drinking enough water?

1.)   Not enough water or dehydration can cause a crisis in the brain, which requires more energy than any other organ. Low water levels trigger the brain to signal the nervous system to send out a request for more insulin from the pancreas, which in turn causes the release of more glucose. The brain needs this glucose to function, but there can be an excess amount created which can cause a diabetic situation. 2.)   Water is one of the major sources of energy for our cells. Energy is made when glucose is converted to adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is held in reserve until it is needed. These two molecules need water in order for the stored energy to be released in a process called hydrolysis. The ATP by itself contains 600 units of energy, but when combined with water it can increase to over 6,000 units, to ten times the original amount. Feeling tired or fatigued, you may need more water. 3.)   Lack of water can even cause an increase in cholesterol. Low cellular water levels impede the entry of nutrients and the removal of waste from our cells. To compensate for the lack of water our liver sends cholesterol to the cells to fill the space where water was supposed to be, in order to allow the cell to function. This can cause an excess of cholesterol in the blood stream leading to plaque. 4.)   For every 10 ounces of a caffeinated drink that you consume you can lose up to 12 ounces of water due to caffeine’s impact on your biochemistry. This includes coffee, tea, soda and energy drinks. 5.)   Based upon several studies and in office evaluations by Doctors, it has been determined that low levels of water can lead to a wide range of mental challenges including mental fatigue, depression and even more serious issues including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Low levels can be as small as 1 to 2 percent less than the brains optimal needs. 6.)   Other organs depend on water just as much as the brain does and low levels can cause chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke and heart disease. Here are the percentages of water that comprise some of our major organs; Brains 75%   Spleen 76%   Liver 72%   Lungs 80%   Kidneys 83% Without sufficient water (8-10 glasses per day, 1 glass = 8 ounces) our bodies are more vulnerable to all of the above mentioned diseases and more including cancer. No other fluids are a good substitute for water and it should be good clean spring water that has been tested for purity. Try a few more glasses of water every day and see how much more energy you have. office-drinking-water For premium quality drinking water for bottleless coolers and drinking fountains in your office Filter Pure recommends the Pentair/Everpure OW, (Office Water) Family of water filters.

How do I find the part number that I need?

Many replacement cartridges and parts are listed with our products here in our website. If the part number you need is for a replacement cartridge, it is located on the cartridge’s label. The part number is usually an 8 or 9 letter/digit combination and begins with “EV” or “DEV”. If you need additional assistance, you can either e-mail us at orders@filterpure.com or call us at 1-800-942-7873.

How often should I change my cartridges?

In order for our filters to perform as represented and to provide the best quality water possible, it is essential that filters be replaced periodically. The frequency of filter changes depends upon your water quality and your water usage. For example, if there is a lot of sediment and/or particles in your water, then you will have to change your filters more frequently than a location with little to no sediment. Be sure to replace your filters whenever you notice a decline in the performance, whether it is a drop in flow rate and/or pressure or an unusual taste in the water.

  • Prefilter
    The prefilter (coarse) cartridge should be changed when it becomes dirty to within 1/8″ of the core or when you see the outlet pressure gauge fall into the red zone. Check the pressure gauge only when the equipment is calling for water.
  • Submicron Cartridges
    The cartridges should be changed at the first occurrence of a) the gallon rating stated on the label, b) every 6 months, or c) the pressure gauge needle falls into the red zone while your equipment is calling for water.
  • ScalestickTM
    The Scalestick needs to be replaced before the Hydroblend compound is completely used up.

How do I remove the “used” cartridges and install new ones?

  1. Shut off the power to any equipment, if applicable.
  2. Shut off the filter system by turning off the water supply. Open the flushing valve to relieve the pressure.
  3. Hold the head firmly and turn the cartridge to the left ¼ turn until the rotation stops.
  4. Pull the cartridge down and out of the head. Some water may drain out of the system. Throw away the used cartridges.
  5. Hold the head firmly then align the new cartridge’s lug with the label on the head and insert the new cartridge into the head.
  6. Turn the cartridge to the right ¼ turn until the rotation stops.
  7. Turn on the water supply.
  8. Now, flush the cartridges by running water through the filter system to the drain for several minutes. Refer to the cartridge’s label for specific flushing times. Note: Be sure to shut off the flushing valve when finished.
  9. Turn on the power to the equipment, if applicable.

Why do cartridges plug up?

Our cartridges are designed to remove contaminants and particles from the water. The cartridges will eventually plug as this material is removed, therefore, plugging indicates that the cartridges are working efficiently. If a cartridge plugs soon after installation, there are various things such as construction in your area or changes in reservoir levels that may alter the quality of your incoming water from day to day. This may produce low water pressure or excessive turbidity (large number of particles) in your water, which may cause the cartridges to plug prematurely.

Why do cartridges need to be flushed?

All carbon-based filters need to be flushed to remove any excess carbon fines that are inside the cartridges. New cartridges are filled with air; therefore, flushing also removes the air from inside the cartridges and replaces it with water. The flush time is written on each cartridge’s label. This process will allow any carbon-based cartridge to function at optimum levels without affecting any equipment that may be attached. Note: Be sure to shut off the flushing valve when finished.

Can filtered water increase the life of my equipment?

Many water supplies contain small particles as well as chemicals such as chlorine. The small particles can interfere with the mechanical operation of your equipment causing premature valve failure or plugging of nozzles. Chemicals such as chlorine can be corrosive and attack the internal metal surfaces. With Everpure water filter systems, particles as small as 0.5 micron as well as chlorine will be reduced and can extend the life of your equipment.

How can I prevent scale in my steamer?

Scale is caused when dissolved minerals, usually calcium and magnesium, are deposited as a white flaky solid on to the heating elements of your steamer. This material acts as an insulator, which increases energy usage. Over time this it can cause your equipment to fail altogether. Everpure offers several products designed to reduce or prevent scale formation. One product is the Everpure Kleensteam® system, which reduces scale build up. Another alternative is the Scalestick™. The Scalestick contains a special Hydroblend™ that inhibits mineral scale deposits in low flow water-fed equipment. Our MRS ( Mineral Reduction Systems), Line of reverse osmosis products also remove minerals that cause scale. To determine how much mineral is in your water, it’s best to have your water tested, call us for a water test at 800-942-7873.

HydroblendT and ScalestickT are trademarks of PWC Enterprises Inc. DBA Southeastern Filtration & Equipment Systems.

Are your products NSF Certified?

The majority of our cartridges are certified by NSF. This certification means that the contaminant reduction claims certified are true and accurate, the materials of construction do not add anything unwanted into the water, that the system is structurally sound, and that advertising claims are true and accurate. This certification provides assurance to the user that the system has been independently evaluated to confirm its performance. The certification is displayed on the cartridge’s label along with the claim; for example, chlorine reduction for 1000 gallons. Our certified products have been submitted for testing under NSF/ANSI Standards 53 and 42. For further information on NSF certification, please contact technical service at 1-800-942-1153 or information can be located on the NSF web-site, www.nsf.org

How is Everpure Treated water better than Tap water?

  • Municipalities have a primary objective of ensuring safe water. They can use a variety of technologies, but most all use some form of disinfection, either chlorine or chloramines. Unfortunately, chlorinated water has a distinctive off-taste and smell.
  • While municipal water treatment plants do meet EPA minimum requirements, they do not remove all contaminants nor do they filter for taste and odor.
  • Water always contains some dissolved mineral, and mineral is not removed by water treatment plants. This mineral causes hard scale in equipment that heats or freezes water, causing increased energy costs and reduced equipment life. Everpure offers products that reduce scale buildup.
  • As water travels from the treatment plant to your location, it can also pick up contaminants from old pipes.
  • Cysts are microbial living organisms (protozoans) that can be resistant to chlorine disinfection. Cysts have been known to cause health problems. Examples of cysts are Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
  • Not all water contaminants are bad, such as minerals, which Everpure filters do not remove. However, many contaminants such as chemicals, gasses and particles can affect the taste and smell. Some can even cause health problems.
  • Everpure removes chemicals like chlorine, along with dirt, rust particles, asbestos, small living organisms called cysts, and more, leaving you with crystal clear, clean and great-tasting water.

Why would I need a prefilter on my water treatment system?

Our quick-change filters remove contaminants as small as .5 micron. Microns are extremely tiny, in fact a human hair has the width of 40 microns. This means our filters are very effective at removing many contaminants. However, if your water is particularly dirty, we recommend placing a prefilter in front of your system. Prefilters are typically 10-25 micron, allowing them to remove the larger particles that might prematurely plug your system. Many of our systems provide a prefilter option.

How do I know if my water is treated with Chloramine?

Some municipalities have migrated from using chlorine to chloramine. Chloramine is chlorine combined with a small amount of ammonia. The addition of the ammonia allows the disinfectant to stay in the water longer, for greater distances. Chloramine is more difficult to remove from water that chlorine, and requires filters with much more carbon. There are two ways to determine if your water has chloramine: 1) contact your local water utility company, or 2) have your water tested. By testing your water for Total Chlorine and Free Chlorine, we can determine if your water is being treated with chloramines. Our CB20 line of products are effective at removing chlorine.

What should I do if there is a boil order in my area?

Download boil order instructions.

 

Doesn’t my water softener treat my water?

Water softeners use an ion exchange process. Typically sodium chloride is exchanged for hard minerals like calcium and magnesium, which makes water “soft”. Hard minerals cause a hard scale on equipment that heats or freezes water, and this scale is difficult to remove, often requiring frequent delimings. Softener systems are usually comprised of a resin tank, where the ion exchange process takes place, and a brine tank where the salt solution is created. A softener can exchange other contaminants depending on the resin used, for example it can help remove iron from water. However, a softener does not filter the water, so many contaminants such as dirt, cysts and particles can pass through a softener resin bed.

Purification, but at What Cost?

Simply put, clean water is vital to life. The majority of our society relies on municipal water sources to supply our commercial and household needs, yet most city water sources are highly contaminated with things such as suspended solids, dirt, parasites, cysts, bacteria, algae, viruses and fungi. Water taken from these sources are then filtered and sanitized with potent chlorine, chloramine, and other potentially harmful chemicals as a way to remove contaminants. Treating water this way leads to many problems ranging from limescale issues to corrosive and destructive results in commercial restaurant equipment. This is why water filtration is an absolute necessity when it comes to purification. Filtration allows for the cleansing and purifying of water without any harmful or destructive side effects. Our customers can literally taste and see the difference with our top-of-the-line water filtration systems.

Dual Manifold EV927891 Features Two Systems in One

As seen at NAFEM 2015. Everpure announces the new Everpure EV927891 Dual Inlet/Dual Outlet Manifold at this year’s 2015 NAFEM Show in Anaheim California. This new manifold features a rear mounted triple parallel QC, (Quick Change) manifold and a forward mounted twin parallel QC, (Quick change) manifold. Two inlets allow for water boost to be placed only on applications that need it for example the water being filtered for fountain beverages on the triple manifold side. Two manifolds also allows for two different types of everpure quick change cartridges for example a system focused on fountain and ice could have fountain drinks on the triple side, MCs, XCs,  4FCs or 7FCs and ice on the dual side i2000s, i4000s, 4FCs, 7FCs, 4Sls or 7Sls. A specialty coffee application with a focus on Espresso and Ice can focus on Espresso using the Triple side featuring ESO7’s  and ice on the dual side using i2000s, i4000s, 4FCs, 7FCs, 4Sis or 7Sls. A focus on just brewed coffee and ice could have the BH2 on the triple side with any of the appropriately sized ice cartridges on the dual side, i2000s, i4000s, 4FCs, 7FCs, 4Sis or 7Sls.

TKO Micro Filter Pretreatment System

Now available for 2015, from Everpure, the Endurance TKO Micro Filter Pretreatment System

Introducing the Endurance TKO Micro Filter Pretreatment System. This system can be used in either a stand-alone capacity or in tandem with other fine filter finishing systems.

Everpure has realized that as new beverage menu’s grow, an increase in water usage on an already overtaxed filtration system will have to be able to keep up with operator’s ever increasing water needs. Everpure has met this challenge by creating a water treatment solution that is specific to high water demands without adding excessive costs or maintenance hassles. This Unique, industrial quality, pleated pretreatment filter provides over 26 square feet of surface area, providing substantial dirt removing capacity to extend the life of the Everpure primary SEN fine filters. Many current conventional filter systems do not have separate pretreatment filtering mechanisms. Those system’s primary filters have tendencies to clog before the carbon has been fully exhausted. The end result is more unnecessary cartridge replacements and downtime costing the operator more money. The TKO Micro Filter Pretreatment System is the workhorse for all high flow filtration systems as a standalone unit. The pleated filter design, .65 micron rating and a ¾” connection makes this pre-filter system a powerhouse for particulate collection and large flow rate. Your current filtration systems will work better than ever after this system has been put in place. You’ll be amazed at the results. The TKO Micro Filter Pretreatment System is also integrated in the Everpure Endurance High Flow Series of food service filtration systems.

The New Claris Ultra!

We are proud to introduce the next step in the Claris filtration line. The Claris Ultra is the world’s first filter cartridge to combine mineral reduction and corrosion protection within one compact unit. As a result, Claris Ultra delivers the very best quality water for hot drinks and ice machines while also preventing scale formation in machines and inhibiting corrosion of materials across the widest range of water hardness levels. This breakthrough is achieved by using new patent pending water conditioning technology; in effect a highly engineered water conditioning system that uses the synergetic effect of mineral adaptation and mineral stabilization, all within one compact filter package. The result is optimum water mineral extraction, ie retaining the necessary minerals for a pleasant flavor and proper extraction of the coffee bean and grind, while minimizing the minerals that lead to limescale. Similarly, in ice production, Claris Ultra eliminates those minerals that cause cloudy and soft ice and lead to scaled ice machines, low energy efficiency and scale amplified bio-film formation. Everpure’s Claris Ultra filter range has successfully addressed the challenge of finding the right balance between protecting an operation’s investment and capturing the desired quality of brewed coffee, espresso, other hot drinks and ice cubes. The Claris Ultra filters use the same head as the existing Claris cartridge range.

Claris Ultra Filter Cartridges features

  • First cartridge to effectively combine lime scale and corrosion protection
  • More capacity / lower costs for hot drinks and ice cube machines
  • Inhibits metal migration from machine parts
  • Safeguarding /enhancing energy efficiency of food service equipment
  • Small foot print and low space requirement
  • Cartridge family with widest capacity range (one head fits all)

NEW 2SR-BW SCALE INHIBITOR CARTRIDGE

Our foodservice customers are starting to see an increase in their daily volume of water usage. The volume of water for consumer demand is growing rapidly each year. Concerns for store operators:

  • How to keep the high volume food service equipment running at peak optimizing performance
  • How to keep the lime-scale build up down 
  • How to filter the increased volume of water 

Everpure manufactured filtration equipment for those concerns. They have developed systems that not only require less maintenance, making the components last longer, but also work to improve high volume flow rates that keep up with the customer demand. The new Everpure SC (EV943742) is Pentair’s new high flow filtration platform unit designed for high volume foodservice operators. There is also the Endurance High Flow System (EV943732). This system can meet your peak water demands today and tomorrow, up to 200,000 gallon capacity and no electricity or drain required. We recommend the 2SR-BW as a conditioning cartridge for either system or as a standalone cartridge. This would be attached to the system for lime-scale prevention. This cartridge has been developed because of the changing times in the foodservice industry. It contains a special media which helps to reduce the lime-scaling tendency of hard water minerals that are found in many water supplies. The scale inhibitor cartridge makeup is effective for up to 15 grains of hardness per gallon of water. Just to give you an idea of its efficiency it has the equivalent of up to 20 of the SS-10 Scale-stick inserts. There are two different kits that can be purchased or you can just get the cartridge alone (EV962714). The first one is the General Purpose Kit (EV979875) which can be used with any Everpure High Flow, High Output Filtration System. This kit would be mounted separate from the system. It is used to reduce scale in ice machines and coffee brewers. The second kit is the Endurance Feeder Kit (EV979870) – which is to be used with the Everpure Endurance High Flow System. This kit is mounted directly to the Endurance System. For more information on how we can help you with your high volume needs or on this cartridge or others like it please call us at 800-942-7873.

Filters, We Don’t Need No Stinking Filters

Dirt and sediment in the water can lead to an undesirable taste in the ice produced by your ice machine.  Hard and unfiltered water have a multitude of minerals that can positively and negatively influence the taste of ice. These additional minerals also build up in your ice machine leading to scale and bacterial growth, and also create unsanitary conditions.
An ice machine with scale build up has to use additional energy and run longer periods to produce the ice that it made prior. As the production efficiency decreases, an increase in the occurrence of failure occurs. A failed compressor is a timely and costly repair that takes the machine offline, as well as taking time away from the person maintaining the equipment. The increase in the electric bill and then the repair adds up to a large cost associated with not using filtration on your ice machine. It is true that an ice machine does not need a water filter to do its job. It will still make ice and can have a great taste depending on the water source. If, however, you don’t have great water but still want to enjoy crystal clear ice and a machine that won’t be out for repairs, the proper filtration can solve that problem. The best filter that money can buy is the Everpure i2000 (EV9612-22). It offers submicron level filtration to capture viruses and bacteria that may be in your water. The carbon helps to clear up any off taste and leave you with great tasting water to make your ice. The addition of scale inhibitor provides the necessary protection against scale buildup without adversely affecting taste. If you are noticing cloudy ice or a bad smell coming from your ice, try utilizing a water filter into the maintenance of your machine and see the benefits.
