FAQ
Q: How often should I replace the MC2 filter cartridge?
A: The MC2 filter cartridge should be replaced every six months as part of a regular preventative maintenance program, or when the capacity of 9,000 gallons is reached, or when the pressure falls below 10 psi, whichever comes first. This ensures optimal performance and beverage quality.
Q: Are these cartridges compatible with all fountain beverage systems?
A: The MC2 cartridges are designed to be compatible with a wide range of fountain and combination beverage applications. However, it's always best to check your specific system's specifications or consult with a Pentair Everpure representative to ensure compatibility.
Q: How do these filters contribute to cost savings in my foodservice operation?
A: By protecting beverage equipment from scale and sediment buildup, the MC2 filters help extend the life of your systems and reduce maintenance needs. Additionally, by improving water quality, they help ensure consistent beverage taste, potentially reducing customer complaints and waste. The high capacity of 9,000 gallons per cartridge also means fewer change-outs, saving both time and money.
