Fears about lead in residential drinking water, along with concerns about VOCs, heavy metals, turbidity, untoward tastes and odors, and microbial infection have been sufficient to convince many homeowners around the country that they need drinking water filtration systems in their homes. But what about businesses, specifically, businesses in the food service and hospitality industries, whose livelihoods depend on the quality of the food and drinks they serve? Should they use commercial water filters for their restaurants and other establishments? The answer is a clear, resounding, “yes.” Here’s what you need to know.  Advantages to Your Customers The advantages to the customers of restaurants and other commercial food service establishments are similar to those afforded to homeowners who invest in water filter systems. Commercial water filtration systems, like residential water filtration systems, can variously remove lead, heavy metals, oxidized iron, manganese, and dissolved hard water minerals (calcium and magnesium) from water. Additionally, many commercial water filtration systems can also remove fine particulate matter from the water, such as the silt, dirt, and other detritus and organic debris that can cause turbidity, cloudiness, and off-putting tastes and odors. Water filtration systems can also remove chloramines from water, along with microbial cysts, such as those of Giardia and Cryptosporidium. This results in a safer environment for customers that patronize such establishments, as well as a more enjoyable dining experience. Pure, clean water and overall better water quality results in better tasting beverages (and food)! But restaurant owners and managers that make the decision to invest in commercial water filtration systems can reap additional benefits, too - specifically those that protect ice machines, coffee makers, and other kitchen equipment. Advantages to Your Ice Machines What restaurant doesn’t operate an ice machine? Well, guess what - commercial water filters for restaurants can substantially improve ice machine maintenance while boosting productivity and efficiency. First and foremost, filtering your water before you feed it to an ice machine will improve the safety, color, and flavor of the ice you produce. It will improve safety because many microbes cannot be killed (or at least cannot be effectively killed) by freezing. A qualified filter system can instead remove them from the water before it is used to make ice. A filter system can also improve the clarity and flavor of ice by eliminating the concentration of minerals in the water that is used to make it. Clearer, purer water makes better-tasting ice, and you get purer, clearer water from a filter system! Most importantly, eliminating a surplus of dissolved minerals will improve the efficiency of your ice machine and protect it against scale damage. Advantages to Your Coffee and Espresso Machines Just as is the case with preparing ice makers with commercial water filters for restaurants, using filters with coffee machines can improve food (drink) safety, boost productivity, improve the quality of the coffee you produce, and protect the machine. Water filtration systems prevent contaminants, sediments, and minerals from getting inside your coffee machines and spray heads, where they can trap oils, which can become rancid or harbor insidious microbial life. Filtration systems will keep your coffee machines cleaner, which will improve the safety of your protocols, and of course, will protect the equipment itself. Dirty, scale-ridden coffee machines are inefficient, consume more energy, and fail sooner than machines that are properly maintained and used in conjunction with filtered water. And, of course, coffee brewed in a machine using filtered water will taste so much better! Advantages to Your Steam Cooking Equipment Many food service establishments have steam cookers that can easily and efficiently cook a large volume of food in a high-humidity environment that prevents the food from drying out. However, it is imperative to use only high-quality, properly filtered water with a steam cooker. The majority of common issues associated with steam cookers have to do with calcification of the boiler system, or with general sediment buildup that prevents proper operation of the machine. Filtering water before you use it to power your steam cooker can improve the quality of your food while also protecting the machine itself. Filtered water can help prevent the deposition and accumulation of sediment, lime scale, microbial cysts, and so much more. Not only does this help protect the machine, but using purer water will also result in better tasting food by removing dissolved calcium and minerals, and thereby the untoward flavors that accompany them. Preventing calcification of the heating element as well as preventing scale accumulation can also improve the efficiency of steam cookers while protecting them from costly, long-term damage that would incur even more costly downtime and maintenance. Types of Commercial Water Filters for Restaurants There are two main types of commercial water filters for restaurants, both of which work in slightly different ways. Predominantly, we offer cartridge-based water filtration systems and reverse osmosis or RO systems. Here’s how they work and what they offer. Cartridge Bases Water Filtration Systems Cartridge-based filter systems, which typically use carbon filters, utilize a system that accepts replacement cartridges that contain carbon or activated charcoal, which is highly porous. Carbon-based filters often have several layers engaged in particulate reduction and some even use a scale inhibitor to ensure that your water is free of contaminants including scale. Many of these types of systems can remove lead and heavy metals, chlorine and chloramines, dissolved contaminants and sediments, and certain bacteria and microbial cysts. Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems Reverse osmosis systems (which are sometimes used with traditional filter-based systems) force water through a semi-permeable membrane. As water passes through the membrane, it loses dissolved heavy metals, lead, chlorine, particulate contaminants, and other chemicals. Reverse osmosis systems are typically more effective at removing dissolved contaminants than filter-based systems, but they waste more water during the process of filtration. Need to Choose a Commercial Water Filter for Your Restaurant? We carry many different filter types and reverse osmosis systems on our website. If you have any questions about our filters or systems or would like recommendations based on the demands of your establishment, our team is here to help. Feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help you find the right commercial water filtration system for your restaurant.

Anyone who owns a business that uses a fountain beverage machine can benefit from having a dedicated filtration system. These systems are designed to improve the safety and quality of your drinking water, which will also improve the quality of any beverages made with that water. If you have been considering adding a fountain beverage water filtration system to your machine, there are a number of other benefits to consider. Maintenance One thing to consider when it comes to any appliance in your business is wear or tear. Whether it's a beverage fountain behind the counter at a restaurant or a machine in a convenience store, there's going to be wear and tear overtime. While you might notice some wear and tear on the outside of your machine, water can cause plenty of issues inside the machine as well. If you have hard water in your area, then scale buildup is going to be a big problem for any appliance that uses water. Overtime, metallic ions like calcium and magnesium collect into hard salt deposits known as limescale buildup. While most noticeable around faucets, scale buildup can happen inside of your fountain beverage dispenser, causing some serious damage. While descaling compounds can help to combat scale build up, they can also leave chucks of scale behind. One of the only ways to actively avoid scale-related issues is to use a fountain beverage water filtration system that will help to soften water and prevent scale from building up in the first place. With the right filtration system, you can significantly reduce the need for machine maintenance and keep your machine running smoothly. Ease of Use When it comes to choosing a fountain beverage water filtration system, it's hard to beat the options we have available from Everpure. One of the biggest advantages of using an Everpure water filtration system is their universal heads and their huge selection of different cartridges. Because of Everpure's universal filter head design, purchasing an Everpure system for your business is an investment. If you want to upgrade at any time, you can do so by switching to a new cartridge rather than replacing the existing system. No matter which cartridge you are using for your fountain drink system, the process of maintaining the system is simple. All you have to do is swap out the cartridge every six months or whenever the pressure in the system drops too low. The process of changing the cartridge is as easy as flipping two valves, unscrewing the old cartridge, screwing the new one in, opening the valves, and running some water through the new cartridge to remove the air. This process takes only a few minutes and will provide your customers with 6 more months of clean and refreshing drinks. Safety The safety of your water is another huge benefit that comes with using a filtration system. All of Everpure's cartridges come with National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) certifications. These different certifications detail exactly what size and type of waterborne contamination that a cartridge is capable of removing. The fact that these certifications come from the NSF carries a lot of weight. The NSF is a globally recognized accredited organization that specializes in testing consumer products to make sure that they meet rigorous standards. This means that if you use an NSF certified filtration system in your business, you can prove the safety of your water. This also means that your business is safe if there are any water related issues in your area. If you have filtered fountain drinks and ice, you can protect yourself from the liability of anyone claiming that your drinks are contaminated or caused illness. Often businesses and restaurants with NSF certified water filtration will be approved by local health authorities to continue to operate even when there are boil water advisories in effect. This is important, especially for businesses that need to be open and supporting their clients. Consistency Consistency is one of the most important reasons to invest in a filtration system, but it is also one of the most overlooked. Almost all major bottling plants begin with filtered water. That is one of the reasons why a soda tastes the same every time you drink it. Customers will expect consistency from their fountain drinks if you have multiple locations, and using filtered water will ensure that no matter where a customer places an order, they receive similar tasting beverages. Even if you only have one location, the quality of your water can vary dramatically throughout the day. Throughout the day, the levels of sanitation compounds in your water, which can cause chlorine taste and odor, vary. In some areas, a beverage purchased in the morning and an evening can taste very different. One of the best ways to eliminate this variation is to use filtered water. This will ensure that your customers always get to enjoy the same, great tasting drinks. Finding the Right System We have a variety of different fountain beverage water filtration systems to choose from depending on the needs of your business. These systems can hold anywhere from a single cartridge to several cartridges to provide thorough filtration to larger systems. You will also be able to find fountain systems designed specifically for cold, carbonated drinks as well as general beverage machine filters. If you need any help finding the perfect filtration system to meet your needs, our team is here to help. We have been working with Everpure systems for years and our filtration experts are always happy to provide outstanding service to our customers. Whether you are looking for a new filtration system or you are considering switching to a new filtration cartridge, we are always happy to provide you with our advice.

Being a barista is probably one of the most fun jobs out there. It is a trade that's easy to learn and you get to see action right off the bat, which can be exciting or intimidating, depending on your personality. As you master the trade and officially become a coffee expert, you get to learn about the different grains, and how each aspect of the brewing process affects the scent, flavor, and texture of your coffee. This means that equipping your venue with the right espresso machine and getting the best supplies is almost as important as your training. However, water quality can make a world of difference and you must pay attention to it to prevent two of the most common problems baristas and coffee shops face. Fortunately, these issues can be easily solved with an espresso machine water filter. Bad Tasting Coffee One of the most frustrating aspects of this job is when you or your business seems unable to offer a uniform brew. You know how to make the perfect latte and you know your espresso machine inside out. However, there are times when the flavor is off by a mile, and every cup you pour that day is a disappointment. Even if you have internalized the brewing process to a point where every movement is uncannily mechanical, the coffee is just not right, but you know it has nothing to do with your barista skills. One of the main causes of this is the quality of the water you pour into your mix. Contrary to what most think, no two drops of water are the same. There are, in fact, many types of water: we have spring water, filtered, distilled, and the ever-present tap water. Tap water also comes in two varieties, hard water, and soft water. Depending on the intended use, neither is better than the other. Hard water is liquid that comes from the source directly to your tap. It is usually a long trajectory, and water tends to pick up mineral particles with it. These include calcium and magnesium which naturally occur in rocks and riverbeds. If the water contains too much of these hardness minerals, then it becomes hard water. To be clear, hard water is not harmful as we absorb vital minerals from it. However, hard water has a strong flavor that can directly impact the taste of your coffee. There are ways to remove these minerals from the water. Boiling and distilling are the two most common ways to go about it, but there is a problem with this approach. When you completely strip water away from all its minerals, you end up with a bland and flat brew that does not carry any of the triumphant notes of your favorite blend and might deprive you of any aftertaste. Spring water is sometimes touted as an option. However, spring water too can carry a lot of minerals with it. Moreover, it is quite expensive which can drastically reduce profit margins for your business without bringing any evident benefits. Your best bet is to install one of our Everpure espresso machine water filters. They give you a wide range of micron ratings so you can control the hardness of your water, and still offer great-tasting coffee every time. Our espresso machine water filters remove excess chlorine and other taste-affecting chemicals, taking the randomness out of your coffee equation. Your Espresso Machine Keeps Breaking Down Our espresso machine is one of the main tools of any coffee shop. We go through great pains when cleaning at the end of every shift so it continues to dish out perfect brews without breaking down. However, breakdowns happen and the downtime can cost you a lot of business if they happen too often. The problem is that hard water slowly creates limescale inside your components when heated. The internal pipes and lines are progressively narrowed by limescale, slowing down the heating process, which in turn affects the way your coffee is brewed. Buildup can clog water passages, make your machine give you inaccurate temperature and level readings, and even cause your seals and valves to fail. This again sounds like a recommendation to completely distill your water to prevent your machine from breaking down. However, these minerals are necessary to give your water the ability to extract the solids and oils of your coffee grains and carry them into your final brew. Experts from the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) recommend hardness levels between 35 ppm and 85 ppm. Many modern espresso machines allow you to factor in water hardness so you can create a descaling schedule for a thorough cleanup to keep optimal mineral levels. However, water hardness changes with each season, and it can increase the frequency of your descaling sessions. Your best bet is to install an espresso machine water filter that lets you control the desired level of hardness, keep harmful dirt and mineral particles out, and still make sure you make someone's day every day. Moreover, espresso machine water filters drastically extend the longevity of your brewing equipment, helping you save money in the long run. Everpure Has The Best Espresso Machine Water Filters We offer many options that are at home in small cafés, exclusive restaurants, and fast food chains. Our Everpure QL2-OCS is perfect for small applications that require a modest but reliable flow rate to keep the coffee flowing. If you need more capacity, you should try the Everpure QC7i-MH(2) espresso machine water filter system. It is ideal for commercial coffee machines providing a constant flow rate of 1.67 gallons per minute, and a storage capacity of 9,000 gallons of fresh water.

You may want to make sure you invest in a quality filtration system if you want to supply your employees with the best possible drinking water. Purified water through a commercial-grade system may help make for a more pleasant work environment and healthier staff. In this article, we'll go further into how a water filtration system may improve your office's water quality and provide additional advantages for your company. The best option to guarantee consistently great water quality is to install a home or workplace filtration system, such as an Everpure H300 filter. With this device, contaminants in your drinking water are removed or reduced to safe levels directly before consumption. ReliabilityMany office fridge's contain a sleek looking filter pitcher. Most low-priced pitcher filters aren't even certified to remove particles of a specific size, since their loose filtering material enables the microscopic contaminants to flow through the cartridge. They're also gravity-powered, which doesn't exert much force on the filtering medium. Filter cartridges like the Everpure H-300 can handle the pressure of a typical home or office water system. By operating under pressure, their filtration efficiency is much higher than your average pitcher filter. The filtering media of the Everpure H300 filter is set up in a very special way. The proprietary Micro-Pure filter material used in Everpure systems is laid out along a specially pleated membrane. Because of the increased surface area, water may be filtered quickly without sacrificing quality. All of Pentair's Everpure products have been tested and proven effective by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) in removing harmful contaminants, including parasitic cysts and heavy metals. These filtration systems give great-tasting water at a fraction of the cost of bottled water by filtering out waterborne particles as tiny as half a micron. Quick and Easy SetupThe installation of a water filter in your home or office may seem like a complicated job that calls for the expertise of a plumber, but you'll be surprised at how easy our Everpure water filters are to set up. If you don't mind using your hands, you may perform the job yourself with only a few basic tools, or hire a handyman to do it. The H300 system will require the installation of a dedicated filtered water faucet. For your convenience, our catalog of Everpure systems includes a variety of full-flow filter configurations. Our full-flow systems are designed so that they may be used in conjunction with your current faucet's cold water side, eliminating the need for a second fixture. Improving the Workplace Environment with Everpure H300 FilterYour staff will appreciate the enhanced health and morale that comes from having access to clean, great-tasting drinking water thanks to your new and improved water filtration system. These cutting-edge water filters are an affordable and easy way to make your workplace more pleasant for your staff. There are several advantages to using filtered water in the workplace, including: A better water supply is always going to be more refreshing and safer to drink, which contributes to a healthier and happier workforce. Water purification using our Everpure systems can also cut down on dissolved ions in the water. This can help to prevent scale build up in water-based appliances like kettles and coffee makers. Workers who don't drink enough water throughout the day may be less productive than those who do, so encourage them to drink water throughout the day. Providing filtered and great-tasting water may encourage hydration in the workplace. Water fountains and bottled water delivery services take up a lot of room, so it's important to find a space-saving alternative for your company. All of our faucet based Everpure filters are designed to mount in the cabinet below your sink, saving space by filtering water in an under-utilized area. Hydration is the key to increasing alertness throughout the day, and maximizing productivity. Those who have their daily water needs met have a greater likelihood of being happy, healthy, and successful. These are essential for sustaining high levels of productivity and morale among your staff. Drinking-Water Solutions Made Easy with efilters.netIt is essential to bear in mind that the quality of the water might differ from one zip code to the next and even from hour to hour.

No matter what field you are in, if your business has an ice machine, you should be considering filtration. Not only do ice machine filters and cartridges make your ice safer, they can also help to protect your machines from damage. Ice only has one ingredient, so obviously if you want quality ice, you need to start with clean water. Now the improved flavor of your ice is just one of the benefits of adding one of these systems to your machine. If you are wondering about all of the potential benefits of adding a filtration system to your ice machine, we have a few things for you to consider. Ice QualityOne of the most important reasons to invest in a filtration system is to improve the quality of the ice itself. There are a variety of different contaminants found in water that can have a serious impact on the flavor of your ice. This includes a buildup of minerals, sulfur compounds, algae, sediment, chlorine, and other contaminants that can all add a distinct taste to your ice. Filtering your water before freezing is one of the best ways to ensure that your ice is not going to impact the quality of any beverages that it is used in. The quality of your water can vary dramatically depending on the time of day and the sanitation compounds used in your local water treatment center. Ice machine water filter systems can also provide chlorine taste and odor reduction throughout the day. Adding a filter to your system will ensure that you are always able to offer a consistent high quality ice. Safer WaterSafety is one of the most important advantages of any filtration system. Even if you have municipal water, this does not guarantee that your water is safe. Between the treatment plant and your store, aging infrastructure and other factors can all introduce contaminants into your water. Adding a water filtration system can help address these concerns while also keeping your ice safe to consume. This includes removing a variety of contaminants from your water that don't always have a notable impact on taste. Things like heavy metals, parasitic cysts, and other contaminants with potential health impacts can easily find their way into your water supply. Filtering water directly before use is one of the best ways to ensure that your ice is safe to consume. Another important reason to invest in ice machine filters and cartridges is to prevent the spread of certain waterborne diseases like Legionnaires disease. This disease is caused by exposure to water containing legionella bacteria. This bacteria is hardy enough to survive in ice machines and typically infects those who have poor lung function, including the elderly. For businesses in the medical field and those who deal with vulnerable populations, having a filter on your ice machine is essential. Our ice machine filtration systems are designed to meet standards like ASHRAE Standard 188 in order to prevent both the health risk to patients and the administrative costs that can accompany a Legionnaires outbreak. ASHRAE, or the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning Engineers, created the ASHRAE Standard 188 as a way for hospitals to prevent the introduction and spread of Legionellosis in their facilities. CertificationsFor many businesses, particularly those in the medical field, it is crucial to make sure that your ice machine meets certain standards like the ASHRAE standard we just mentioned. All of the Everpure ice machine filters and cartridges that we carry meet certain standards set by the National Sanitation Foundation. NSF is an independent third-party certification organization that establishes a variety of standards for consumer and commercial products. They are qualified to conduct tests and certify products to ensure that they meet various health and safety standards. Because NSF certifications are globally recognized, these standards are intended to ensure quality and provide peace of mind to healthcare providers. If you need to make sure that certain contaminants are removed from your ice, then it's important to check the system's attached certifications and standards. Less MaintenanceAnother significant advantage of using a filtration system with your ice machine is that it can help reduce maintenance costs over time. Scale buildup is a common problem with water-based appliances such as ice machines. This happens when hard water flows through the system and some of the metal ions in the water combine to form salts that adhere to the insides of your appliances. This can eventually lead to a hard, rock-like buildup, which can cause clogs and other issues. Filtered water naturally contains less of these metal ions, meaning scale build up can be significantly decreased by using a filtration system. Some filtration systems will also be specifically designed with water softening beads to combat this problem in areas where the water is abnormally high. Hard water can also produce ice with a somewhat "chalky" taste, so using a filtration system to soften your water is just one way that your filter can improve the quality of your ice. For food service businesses with kitchens, especially bakeries, food particles and yeast in the air can build up in your ice machine. Using a filtration system can help to prevent buildup in the sump systems of your ice machines. Finding the Right SystemIf you are considering purchasing a fountain beverage water filtration system for your business, consider an Everpure system. These water filters are a great choice for a number of reasons, including the fact that the hardware is an investment in your business' future. Everpure uses a standardized filterhead. This means that once you have an Everpure system, you can easily upgrade to a new cartridge to meet the growing needs of your business without the need for new hardware. If you want to see some great fountain machine filtration options, we have plenty of great options to consider. We also have a great selection of replacement cartridges in stock for businesses who already have Everpure hardware. If you need help finding ice machine filters and cartridges for your business, our team is available to make sure you can find the perfect system for your machine.

An RO water filtration system may be the best option if you're looking to achieve the highest possible level of water purity in your home. They are one of the best solutions for households who want a water purification system that can remove extremely small dissolved solids from your water. If you are considering adding an RO system to your household, you should understand the fundamentals of RO water purification. Reverse osmosis is a water filtration technique that was first commercially developed to provide drinking water by desalinating seawater. First used in Cape Coral, Florida, RO water filtration has proven itself to be an extremely effective filtration method. RO systems allowed for freshwater to be produced from seawater while leaving behind only concentrated seawater as a by-product. It's now possible to employ this technology in our homes and enjoy incredible drinking water quality. When you buy RO water purifiers, you can get extremely clean water for a fraction of the cost of bottled water. What is the Operating Principle of RO Systems?The basic principle of this technology revolves around the idea of osmosis. In regular osmosis, water flows through a membrane in order to achieve an equal concentration of dissolved solids on both sides of the membrane. Using pressure on one side of the membrane can reverse this process and help to separate the water from the dissolved solids. While originally only used in an industrial setting, reverse osmosis water filtration systems have been lowered in size so that they may be installed under your kitchen sink and deliver the same outstanding filtering capability. In a conventional RO water purifier, the water passes through multiple cartridges, each of which removes a different kind of impurity from the water. This process helps to protect the membrane, which is delicate and only suited to removing the smallest particles from your water. Sediment removal from the water is accomplished using a standard carbon filter. This not only removes large particles from the water, but it also helps to remove chlorine compounds that can damage the filter membrane. Once the water has been filtered once, it is ready for the RO process. After passing through the RO filter, almost all waterborne contaminants will be removed. There are some volatile organic compounds or VOCs that can still make it through the RO membrane. A final filter cartridge is typically used to remove these VOCs and make sure that your water is as clean as possible.: BudgetIf you are planning to buy an RO water purifier, then the water quality is not the only advantage. Purchasing bottled water is usually the best way to ensure that you are drinking safe and clean water, but the cost of all that water can quickly add up. Adding a reverse osmosis filter to your kitchen is a great way to save on the cost of bottled water while enjoying incredible water quality. Once you have completed the installation of the filtration system in your kitchen, the upkeep is simple. All you have to do is replace the filter cartridges once per year in order to ensure that your filtration system continues to function normally. The process of replacing these cartridges only takes a few minutes per year, which means that you can enjoy filtered water all year without having to constantly refill a tank or replace a cartridge every month or two. RO System For Your Household The Everpure ROM IV is the only RO water purifier we presently offer for residential use; we have a couple of choices for commercial use, but they would be excessive for the average household to consider. Luckily the ROM IV has been designed to provide exactly what homeowners need. With the new ROM IV system, you'll know that your drinking water is always clean while still being able to use your sink for normal cleaning tasks.If you want to buy an RO water purifier right now, we are sure the ROM IV will be a great choice.

Not all homes and businesses have the same water filtration needs, which is why we offer a wide range of different water filtration options here in our online store. If you need a drinking water filtration system that can handle a lot of use, then our Pentair Everpure EF Series filters might just be the perfect solution. When you consider the needs of an average home, you are looking at about 2.5 people, which for simplicity's sake we will round up to three people. Drinking the recommended 8 cups of water per day, that household is going to consume 1.5 gallons of drinking water per day. That is nearly 550 gallons of drinking water per household without factoring in the need for filtered water for guests, cooking, and other household tasks like making your morning coffee. If you are considering installing a drinking water system, the EF Series is a great way to go.  You do not need to drill your counter top to install a dedicated faucet.  These three systems are installed directly to the cold water of your existing kitchen faucet.  Every time your turn on the cold water, you will have premium drinking water at your finger tips.  Our other models of systems (H300, H104, H1200, etc..) all require a dedicated faucet.   They also come with the huge benefit of being full flow systems. This means that the installation process does not require adding a dedicated faucet for dispensing filtered water. Instead, the filtered water is routed directly to the cold water side of the existing faucet, providing the convenience of freshly filtered water without the need to change the look and feel of your kitchen. EF-1500The most compact is the Everpure EF-1500 filtration system. This filter has a compact size at only 15", making it ideal for kitchens where space is at a premium. Each filter cartridge is designed to handle 1500 gallons of water during its lifespan and can be installed as easily as installing a lightbulb. The filter media inside the filter cartridge, like all of our Everpure systems, is designed to capture extremely small contaminants. These cartridges are able to remove these small particles while still offering an impressive flow rate of 2.2 gallons per minute, roughly equivalent to a standard kitchen faucet.  EF-3000If you need a larger capacity system, then the EF-3000 is the next step up. This system has double the capacity of the EF1500 but it is only an additional 5 inches longer. Like all of our Everpure Systems, the EF-3000 is designed to be extremely easy to install and use. No need to call a plumber, anyone can install one of these filters using only a few simple hand tools in about 30 minutes. All you have to do is install the filter on the inside of your cabinet and then install an adapter to the cold water line. This means that anyone who wants to enjoy the convenience of having freshly filtered water available on tap can do it without having to modify their kitchen. EF-6000Finally the largest of our residential Pentair Everpure EF Series filters is the EF-6000. As the name suggests, this system is capable of filtering 6000 gallons of water with a single cartridge. This makes it a great choice for anyone who needs to filter a large amount of water. When you consider the cost of the cartridge the savings can be huge. One of the best things about using any of these Pentair Everpure EF Series systems is the fact that they are flexible. If you install the EF-1500 and it requires more frequent cartridge replacements than you would like, then it is easy to upgrade to either the EF3000 or EF6000 cartridge with a larger capacity. You just need to have the additional space for these longer cartridges. If you have any questions about our Pentair Everpure EF Series filtration systems or any of the other drinking water filters that we offer, feel free to reach out to one of our filtration specialists. We are always available to make sure that our customers have the perfect filtration solutions to meet their needs.

Home water filtration has become a staple in many homes and businesses across the country. This is because the simple act of adding a filtration system to your home is one of the best ways to know for certain that you are always enjoying clean and safe drinking water. If you are considering adding a filter to your home or upgrading your current filtration system, then our Everpure H300 filter is the perfect place to start. These filters are designed to be easy to use and, most importantly, to offer incredible drinking water quality. Homeowners have to deal with a wide range of different water quality issues. Some of the most obvious issues are ones that will have a direct impact on the appearance, smell, or taste of your water. When these odors and tastes are foul, they are usually caused by microbes and organic debris in the water. Other times a chemical taste or smell can be caused by improper amounts of sanitizing chemicals like chlorine. Having a quality filtration system can prevent water quality issues from both of these sources while also helping to protect you against contaminants that can not be as easily detected. This includes heavy metals and other contaminants that can have a negative impact on health. Many of these substances have no taste or odor, so testing your water is the only sure way to know whether or not they are present. Sadly water testing can only provide a snapshot of water quality. Our ability to move clean water via our infrastructure is an amazing feat, but sadly it's not perfect. Things like leaks and aging pipes can have a huge impact on your water. The only way to ensure proper water quality is to filter it directly prior to consumption. Everpure water filters are one of the best options for home drinking water filtration. Not only have these filters been designed to be extremely user friendly, but they also offer amazing results. These filters are designed to be installed underneath your kitchen sink so they will not take up room in your fridge or anywhere else in your kitchen. They also hook directly into your home water line. Because home water lines operate under a water pressure of roughly 60 to 70 PSI, these filters are able to use extremely fine filter media and filter water more efficiently than pitcher filters and other unpressured systems. When we are asked to recommend a filtration system, the Everpure H300 filter is usually where we start. This filter is one of the most popular Everpure home filtrations systems for a good reason, it is simple and effective. The system can be installed underneath your kitchen sink even if you don't have any prior plumbing experience. This system will also require the installation of a dedicated faucet for dispensing filter water. This may require adding a hole to your faucet or countertop. This is the biggest step to adding one of these systems to your kitchen and it gives you the ability to have filtered water available on demand while also making it easy to use your sink as you normally would for cleaning tasks. What makes the entire system work is its filter cartridge. The Everpure H300 filter cartridge contains a carbon based filtration media. This material is arranged along a pleated filtration membrane that helps to provide ample surface area within the cartridge itself. Carbon based filtration also offers many benefits because activated carbon has a huge surface area. Every tiny grain of carbon is covered in microscopic hills and valleys that help to capture contaminants. This means that the H300 cartridge is capable of removing contaminants from your water as small as 0.5 microns in size. That is so small that it is hard to even provide a sense of scale. Try looking at a single strand of hair and imagine something 100 times smaller than that hair's width. The fine filtration abilities of these cartridges also means that they are rated to remove parasitic cysts and lead from your drinking water. The proficiency of carbon media at removing chemical contaminants also makes these filters perfect for removing sanitizing chemicals or organic compounds that might be present in your water. In addition to offering excellent water quality, these filtration systems are also designed to be extremely easy to use and maintain. Every H300 cartridge is designed to filter roughly 300 gallons of water per cartridge. Every cartridge should be replaced at least once per year to maintain optimal system performance. If the flow rate from the filter has noticeably decreased before a year has passed, then you will need to change the cartridge sooner. The replacement process only takes a few minutes and is as simple as replacing a lightbulb. If you find yourself replacing cartridges too frequently, then the solution to your problem is simple: get a higher capacity replacement cartridge. The filterheads used by Everpure systems are largely standardized. As long as you are not upgrading to a Pro Series cartridge, it should be easy to replace the cartridge with a new one that will last you a full year. If you ever need any help finding the right upgraded replacement cartridge, our Everpure specialists are always here to assist you.

We all require safe drinking water, but many households take this resource for granted. It's hard to know exactly what kind of toxins are in your water without testing, no matter how good it looks or tastes. Unfortunately, even testing can only provide you with a picture of your water quality at any particular time. Installing a home filtration system, such as one the Everpure H300 filter, is the perfect way to maintain constant high water quality. This system filters your water right before you drink it, bringing the quantity of pollutants in your water down to acceptable levels. For a variety of reasons, Everpure filters are one of the top home water purifying system brands. Obviously, the most crucial factor is the purity of the drinking water, and Everpure filters provide excellent results. These filters are not only meant to improve the quality of your water, but they are also built to be incredibly user-friendly, unlike many of the cheaper devices on the market. H300 BasicsIf you're thinking about adding the Everpure H300 filter system for your house, then you're certainly curious about how it cleans water. Water filtering is a straightforward concept. Water flows through filtration media, which eliminates pollutants from the water and makes it safe to drink. Every filter, including the pitcher systems mentioned above, completes these essential phases. Everpure filters are meant to operate quietly and deliver water through a specialized dispenser faucet. As a result, they're just as convenient as getting water from your sink. EfficiencyWhen picking a filtration system, the most crucial factor to consider is its effectiveness. Because their loose filtration material allows the small pollutants to pass past the cartridge, most cheap pitcher filters aren't even rated to eliminate particles of a certain size. They also are powered only by gravity, which does not put significant pressure on the filtration media. The Everpure H-300 filter cartridges are made to work with the pressure of a household water supply. The filter media within that cartridge can be packed significantly tighter because household filters work at roughly 40 pounds per square inch. Everpure uses their own Micro-Pure filter material in their cartridges. This carbon-based filter media serves as a sponge for pollutants in the water. This is due to the fact that every granule of activated carbon is covered in small mountains and valleys, resulting in a massive total surface area. A little handful of activated carbon can cover an entire football field in surface area. As a result, each cartridge has a large interior surface area for absorbing and eliminating impurities from your water. This includes large particles as well as the compounds responsible for producing a chlorine taste in your water. The Everpure H300 system has a unique filtration media arrangement. Everpure's filter media is arranged along a pleated filter membrane. This provides a large surface area, allowing fast water filtration while maintaining the same high water quality. NSF certification ensures that all Pentair Everpure products will remove hazardous pollutants such as parasite cysts and heavy metals. Because the H300 is capable of removing particles as small as half a micron in size, these filtration systems provide great-tasting water for a fraction of the price of bottled water. A Cost Efficient OptionOur Everpure water filters not only provide excellent filtration, but they also save money when compared to bottled water. Although bottled water is obviously safe to drink, the expenses can soon pile up at $1 or more per bottle. You would spend hundreds of dollars every year if you drank just one bottle of water per day. In a larger home, the figure might be as high as $1000 each year! A reusable water bottle and the Everpure H300 filter system can easily reduce those expenditures to a fraction of the cost of buying water by the bottle. Easy to InstallInstalling a water filter in your home may appear to be a difficult task that requires the assistance of a plumber, but you'll be astonished at how simple our Everpure water filters are to install. A handyman can easily complete the task, or you can do it yourself with just a few simple hand tools. Only a screwdriver, a tape measure, a pencil, and a knife are required to install the average Everpure system like the H300. Adding your water dispenser faucet will be the most challenging component of the installation. This procedure usually necessitates drilling a hole in your sink or countertop, which may necessitate the use of specific tools. Fortunately, we have a number of full flow filter options in our Everpure system lineup. Instead of needing you to install a second faucet, our full flow systems are intended to work with your existing faucet. Simple UpkeepUnlike most household water filters, once installed, your Everpure water filter will require almost no maintenance. The H300 water filter cartridges are capable of filtering around 300 gallons of water. This means that most households are able to go as long as a year before needing a replacement cartridge. Regardless of how much water you use or the capacity of your filter cartridge, we recommend replacing your water filter once a year. This process takes only a minute and will help to guarantee that your filter system keeps working properly. If you discover that your system's flow rate has fallen dramatically before a year has gone, it's likely time to replace your filter cartridge.
