FAQ
Q: How often should the 7SI cartridge be replaced?
A: The EV960601 should be changed on a regular six-month preventative maintenance program, when the rated capacity of 25,000 gallons is reached, or when pressure falls below 10 psi (0.7 bar), whichever comes first.
Q: Is the 7SI cartridge compatible with existing Everpure systems?
A: Yes, the 7SI cartridge is designed for use with Pentair Everpure Insurice and Insurice PF Manifold Systems, and can be easily installed in compatible filter heads with vertical mounting.
Q: What is the difference between leaving chlorine in the water versus removing it for ice applications?
A: Unlike drinking water filters that remove chlorine for taste improvement, the 7SI cartridge intentionally leaves chlorine and chloramines in the water to help prevent slime and bacterial growth in ice machines and storage bins, which is crucial for maintaining equipment cleanliness.
