Scotsman APRC1-P AquaPatrol Plus Replacement Filter Cartridge
The Scotsman APRC1-P is a high-performance replacement cartridge for AquaPatrol Plus ice machine water filtration systems. Unlike traditional filters that remove all chlorine, the AquaPatrol Plus is specially designed to maintain some chlorine in the water, helping to keep your ice machine cleaner longer while still delivering great-tasting ice. With its polyphosphate feed to prevent scale buildup and tighter pore size to eliminate unwanted compounds, this filter cartridge helps reduce maintenance costs and extends the life of your Scotsman ice machines.
