Manitowoc K00496 Water Pre-Filter Cartridge Arctic Pure Plus
Manitowoc K00496 Water Pre-Filter Cartridge
The Manitowoc K00496 Water Pre-Filter Cartridge is an essential replacement filter designed specifically for the Manitowoc Arctic Pure Plus AR-PRE-P pre-filter water filtration system. This 5-micron pre-filter effectively removes larger particles such as sediment, dirt, rust, and sand from incoming water before it reaches your main Arctic Pure Plus filter.
By installing the K00496 pre-filter, you protect downstream components including solenoids, valves, and the primary filter cartridge. This results in cleaner water, reduced scale buildup, longer filter life, and improved performance of your Manitowoc ice machines.
Key Features and Benefits:
- 5 Micron Rating — Captures fine sediment, dirt, rust, and particulates for superior pre-filtration
- 1.5 GPM Service Flow Rate — Maintains excellent water flow for high-demand commercial ice production
- Compatible with Arctic Pure Plus — Designed exclusively for the AR-PRE-P pre-filter housing
- Protects Ice Machine — Prevents clogging and damage to valves, inlets, and primary filters
- Easy Replacement — Standard cartridge design for quick, tool-free changeouts
- Durable Construction — High-quality materials built for reliable commercial use
Ideal for restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and any foodservice operation using Manitowoc ice machines. Regular replacement of the K00496 pre-filter (typically every 6–12 months or when flow drops) helps maintain optimal ice quality, machine efficiency, and compliance with water treatment best practices.
Why Choose Manitowoc K00496? Genuine OEM Manitowoc part ensures perfect fit, performance, and warranty compliance. Pair it with Arctic Pure Plus primary filters for complete triple-action protection (sediment reduction + chlorine/taste/odor removal + scale inhibition).
