16th Annual World Barista Championship to feature Everpure filtration

The World Barista Championship is the premier event for international competition in the coffee community.  This competition serves as the championship from both local and regional qualifying events from World Coffee Events. Contestants prepare samples of Espressos, Cappuccinos, and original drinks in a 15-minute period. Judges will evaluate participant creations on not just taste but creativity, presentation, and skill. Each contestant’s creation will be different in almost every single way, except one key factor. The key ingredient that is the foundation for every great cup of coffee is the water. This year the entire event features water filtered by Pentair/Everpure. WBC Using the Everpure MRS 600 HE-II Water Filtration System for the entire event, the water not only tastes great, but also allows the contestants to craft beverages that meet their exacting standards. The MRS 600 HE-II is a high efficiency Reverse Osmosis system that provides blended water to meet the criteria determined by World Coffee Events. With a recovery rate of 78%, this unit has a significantly reduced impact on water use compared to other Reverse Osmosis offerings from competitors. For every cup of water produced only ¼ of a cup of wastewater is generated versus as much as 4 cups of water for other brands. Everpure Representatives will provide onsite training of the impact of water quality on coffee brewing at the event. ClarisUltra Claris Ultra systems will be awarded to the finalist of the show to allow them to bring home the quality of Everpure water in a convenient sized package. The Claris unit is a five stage softening and filtration system that allows the user to dial in the amount of mineral in specialty coffee applications. The minerals found in water can be a friend or foe for the Barista. Everpure Claris systems feature Duoblend technology that allows the Barista to dial in the appropriate amount of minerals for their drinks. The introduction this year of the Claris Ultra has also increased the capacity of Claris cartridges. All Claris systems use the same head, which allows interchangeability with the Claris and Claris Ultra cartridges. Whether you are looking to utilize the MRS 600HE-II for Reverse Osmosis system for tailored water specifications or using the Claris to dial in the mineral for your Coffee or Espresso Filter Pure Systems, Inc. can find a solution to meet your specialty coffee needs.  We utilize our knowledge and experience of water filtration treatment and solutions to not only protect your expensive coffee/espresso equipment investment but make sure that you are providing the quality cup of coffee and/or espresso that you want to deliver to your customer every day.

TKO Micro Filter Pretreatment System

Now available for 2015, from Everpure, the Endurance TKO Micro Filter Pretreatment System

Introducing the Endurance TKO Micro Filter Pretreatment System. This system can be used in either a stand-alone capacity or in tandem with other fine filter finishing systems.

Everpure has realized that as new beverage menu’s grow, an increase in water usage on an already overtaxed filtration system will have to be able to keep up with operator’s ever increasing water needs. Everpure has met this challenge by creating a water treatment solution that is specific to high water demands without adding excessive costs or maintenance hassles. This Unique, industrial quality, pleated pretreatment filter provides over 26 square feet of surface area, providing substantial dirt removing capacity to extend the life of the Everpure primary SEN fine filters. Many current conventional filter systems do not have separate pretreatment filtering mechanisms. Those system’s primary filters have tendencies to clog before the carbon has been fully exhausted. The end result is more unnecessary cartridge replacements and downtime costing the operator more money. The TKO Micro Filter Pretreatment System is the workhorse for all high flow filtration systems as a standalone unit. The pleated filter design, .65 micron rating and a ¾” connection makes this pre-filter system a powerhouse for particulate collection and large flow rate. Your current filtration systems will work better than ever after this system has been put in place. You’ll be amazed at the results. The TKO Micro Filter Pretreatment System is also integrated in the Everpure Endurance High Flow Series of food service filtration systems.

The New Claris Ultra!

We are proud to introduce the next step in the Claris filtration line. The Claris Ultra is the world’s first filter cartridge to combine mineral reduction and corrosion protection within one compact unit. As a result, Claris Ultra delivers the very best quality water for hot drinks and ice machines while also preventing scale formation in machines and inhibiting corrosion of materials across the widest range of water hardness levels. This breakthrough is achieved by using new patent pending water conditioning technology; in effect a highly engineered water conditioning system that uses the synergetic effect of mineral adaptation and mineral stabilization, all within one compact filter package. The result is optimum water mineral extraction, ie retaining the necessary minerals for a pleasant flavor and proper extraction of the coffee bean and grind, while minimizing the minerals that lead to limescale. Similarly, in ice production, Claris Ultra eliminates those minerals that cause cloudy and soft ice and lead to scaled ice machines, low energy efficiency and scale amplified bio-film formation. Everpure’s Claris Ultra filter range has successfully addressed the challenge of finding the right balance between protecting an operation’s investment and capturing the desired quality of brewed coffee, espresso, other hot drinks and ice cubes. The Claris Ultra filters use the same head as the existing Claris cartridge range.

Claris Ultra Filter Cartridges features

  • First cartridge to effectively combine lime scale and corrosion protection
  • More capacity / lower costs for hot drinks and ice cube machines
  • Inhibits metal migration from machine parts
  • Safeguarding /enhancing energy efficiency of food service equipment
  • Small foot print and low space requirement
  • Cartridge family with widest capacity range (one head fits all)

NEW 2SR-BW SCALE INHIBITOR CARTRIDGE

Our foodservice customers are starting to see an increase in their daily volume of water usage. The volume of water for consumer demand is growing rapidly each year. Concerns for store operators:

  • How to keep the high volume food service equipment running at peak optimizing performance
  • How to keep the lime-scale build up down 
  • How to filter the increased volume of water 

Everpure manufactured filtration equipment for those concerns. They have developed systems that not only require less maintenance, making the components last longer, but also work to improve high volume flow rates that keep up with the customer demand. The new Everpure SC (EV943742) is Pentair’s new high flow filtration platform unit designed for high volume foodservice operators. There is also the Endurance High Flow System (EV943732). This system can meet your peak water demands today and tomorrow, up to 200,000 gallon capacity and no electricity or drain required. We recommend the 2SR-BW as a conditioning cartridge for either system or as a standalone cartridge. This would be attached to the system for lime-scale prevention. This cartridge has been developed because of the changing times in the foodservice industry. It contains a special media which helps to reduce the lime-scaling tendency of hard water minerals that are found in many water supplies. The scale inhibitor cartridge makeup is effective for up to 15 grains of hardness per gallon of water. Just to give you an idea of its efficiency it has the equivalent of up to 20 of the SS-10 Scale-stick inserts. There are two different kits that can be purchased or you can just get the cartridge alone (EV962714). The first one is the General Purpose Kit (EV979875) which can be used with any Everpure High Flow, High Output Filtration System. This kit would be mounted separate from the system. It is used to reduce scale in ice machines and coffee brewers. The second kit is the Endurance Feeder Kit (EV979870) – which is to be used with the Everpure Endurance High Flow System. This kit is mounted directly to the Endurance System. For more information on how we can help you with your high volume needs or on this cartridge or others like it please call us at 800-942-7873.

Filters, We Don’t Need No Stinking Filters

Dirt and sediment in the water can lead to an undesirable taste in the ice produced by your ice machine.  Hard and unfiltered water have a multitude of minerals that can positively and negatively influence the taste of ice. These additional minerals also build up in your ice machine leading to scale and bacterial growth, and also create unsanitary conditions.
An ice machine with scale build up has to use additional energy and run longer periods to produce the ice that it made prior. As the production efficiency decreases, an increase in the occurrence of failure occurs. A failed compressor is a timely and costly repair that takes the machine offline, as well as taking time away from the person maintaining the equipment. The increase in the electric bill and then the repair adds up to a large cost associated with not using filtration on your ice machine. It is true that an ice machine does not need a water filter to do its job. It will still make ice and can have a great taste depending on the water source. If, however, you don’t have great water but still want to enjoy crystal clear ice and a machine that won’t be out for repairs, the proper filtration can solve that problem. The best filter that money can buy is the Everpure i2000 (EV9612-22). It offers submicron level filtration to capture viruses and bacteria that may be in your water. The carbon helps to clear up any off taste and leave you with great tasting water to make your ice. The addition of scale inhibitor provides the necessary protection against scale buildup without adversely affecting taste. If you are noticing cloudy ice or a bad smell coming from your ice, try utilizing a water filter into the maintenance of your machine and see the benefits. For more info, call us at 800-942-7873 or ask us a question below.

What is a 7SO Softening Cartridge?

This pretty cool piece of equipment is used for food service and commercial applications. It can give you delicious specialty coffee, wonderfully strong espresso or refreshing, crisp ice tea. This cartridge reduces minerals like calcium and magnesium which cause hard water. It’s like having a mini water softener under your sink. This is ideal for hard water at a flow rate as high as 1/2 gallon per minute. The ion exchange technology is a carbon and resin blend. The cartridge has a psi range of 10-125, as well as, a temperature range of 35 to 100 degrees. The 2,000 grain capacity is ideal for high mineral content and low volume application. What is the proper way to use the 7SO (EV9607-04)? Usually it is a 2 stage setup. The first stage would be a MC2 (EV9612-56) filter. This reduces the chlorine, sediment, taste and odor. The precoat sub-micron technology reduces the dirt and particles as small as 1/2 micron. The 2nd stage is the 7SO, which reduces the hardness. Best operating procedure is to change the cartridge every 6 months just like most other filters. To determine cartridge life, divide total capacity of cartridge by the hardness in grains per gallon (gpg). So for example, 2,000 grains for the 7SO divided by 15 grains of hardness, you would exhaust this cartridge after running approximately 133 gallons of water through it. You can also change when hardness of treated water increases to more than 3 grains per gallon. Do not exceed recommended flow rate which is 0.5 gallons per minute. Don’t forget to flush the cartridge when you install it or change one out. You do this by running water through it for five minutes at full flow. This should be done no matter what filters you are using. The other great thing about this cartridge is that it fits all existing Everpure heads. No electrical connection is required. So if you have hard water in your foodservice location and want great tasting espresso we would recommend the 7SO. For more information on how we can help you on this system or others like it please call us at 800-942-7873.
