One 40,000 gallon cartridge treats the supply feeding a machine producing 1,001 to 2,500 lb of ice per day, cutting chlorine by an average of 95% and holding back sediment down to 0.5 micron at a maximum service flow of 2.0 gpm, so every batch across roughly six months of service freezes from cleaner water. Machines making less ice are better matched to the AR-10000-P at up to 600 lb per day or the AR-20000-P at 601 to 1,000 lb per day. It is a treatment filter, not a disinfection device, so it cannot make microbiologically unsafe water safe, and it is rated for cold water commercial use only, not residential. Mount the head vertically on a 3\/8 in. copper or polyethylene line with the cartridge hanging down, and leave 2.5 in. of clearance below it for changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e0.5 Micron Silver-Impregnated Carbon Block Filtration\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe K00495 cartridge inside this system filters down to 0.5 micron, reducing dirt and submicron particles and eliminating cryptosporidium and giardia cysts at or below the rated flow. The carbon block is silver impregnated, adding antimicrobial protection against bacteria, algae, mold, and slime on ice machine surfaces, so the water reaching the evaporator is working for the machine instead of against it. The AR-40000-P is sized for high-capacity modular machines such as the IT1200, IT1500, and IT1900 cubers, IF1400C and IF1800C QuietQube cubers, RFF2200C flaker, and RNF2000C nugget.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSLOW PHOS Scale Inhibitor and 95% Average Chlorine Reduction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale is what shortens ice machine life, and this system meters SLOW PHOS slowly soluble polyphosphate into the water to inhibit scale formation and corrosion before minerals ever bake onto the evaporator. At the same time, an average 95% reduction of chlorine from the incoming supply means the ice tastes and smells fresher and clearer in the glass. Together the ultra-fine filtration, silver-impregnated carbon block, and polyphosphate feed give triple protection against the contaminants that cut into daily performance, maintenance frequency, and machine life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuarter-Turn Cartridge Changes Without Shutting Off the Water\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the cartridge is spent, twist it a quarter turn to the left to remove it and a quarter turn to the right to seat the new one; the water supply can stay on the whole time, so a change takes minutes and never idles the ice machine. Plan on a fresh cartridge every six months or whenever the pressure gauge reads below 35 psi, whichever comes first, and flush each new cartridge by running water through the filter for ten minutes before returning to service. Keep the system from freezing, since a frozen housing can crack and leak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompact Vertical-Mount Head With Built-In Pressure Gauge\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe assembly measures 4.13 in. wide by 4.48 in. deep by 19.7 in. tall with mounting holes 1.5 in. from center, and the gauge up top gives you cartridge status at a glance instead of a guess. The kit includes the head, shroud, hardware, mounting assembly, and one K00495 cartridge, so it installs complete out of the box. A pre-filter is recommended for all applications to achieve maximum filtration efficiency and cartridge life; the Arctic Pure Plus AR-PRE-P sediment pre-filter fills that role ahead of this system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manitowoc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52748490211613,"sku":"AR-40000-P","price":444.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/81014_AR-40000-P.jpg?v=1786367938","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/manitowoc-ar-40000-p-40-000-gallon-arctic-pure-plus-primary-water-filter-system-for-ice-machines-1-001-to-2-500-lb-day-0-5-micron-with-scale-inhibitor","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
