FAQ
Q: What types of equipment are best suited for the SS-XL cartridge?
A: The EV979942 is ideal for commercial foodservice equipment including steamers, combi ovens, espresso machines, coffee makers, ice machines, proofers, and small warewash applications where higher flow rates and extended capacity are required.
Q: How often should I replace the SS-XL ScaleStick cartridge?
A: Treatment capacity is approximately 12 months, though actual lifespan varies depending on water quality, usage patterns, and flow rates. Inspect the cartridge every 6 months and replace before the Hydroblend™ compound is completely dissolved. The translucent housing allows visual monitoring.
Q: Does the SS-XL require any special installation considerations?
A: The cartridge must be installed vertically with a shut-off valve upstream. While deliming equipment prior to installation is recommended, it's not required. If inlet water temperature exceeds 125°F, a hot water housing must be used. Refer to the Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual for proper cartridge flushing and start-up procedures.
