The Everpure 4H2 Filter Cartridge delivers clear, fresh, premium-quality ingredient water for exceptional hot beverages. The exclusive precoat filtration provides superior chlorine taste and odor reduction while mechanically filtering dirt and particles as small as 0.2 microns. It reduces energy consumption by preventing scale build-up, with a proportioned scale inhibitor feed that dramatically prevents limescale formation in equipment. Everpure’s unique filter blend with activated carbon effectively reduces chlorine taste, odor, and other offensive contaminants without removing fluoride. The proprietary Everpure Micro-Pure® II filtration media inhibits the growth of bacteria on the filter media, extending product life. Additionally, it is NSF/ANSI Standard 53 certified to reduce cysts such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia by mechanical means. Validated by an ISO 17025 accredited lab, it achieves a 99.999% reduction of Pseudomonas diminuta, following the ASTM F838-05 protocol for the validation of 0.2 μm sterilizing grade filters.
