In an effort to proactively plan for future global compliance requirements for Pentair Everpure products, Pentair has made a major investment in manufacturing improvements to their plants. Significant updates to the manufacturing, design and testing of Pentair Everpure system filter cartridges have now been completed.  What changes can be expected? ​​​​​​   ◆ Tooling and design enhancements have been made, which will improve overall product quality. ◆ Upgrades include new cartridge cap tooling, which can be identified by a slightly different color and finish. ◆ Cartridges will have a new Pentair Everpure brand standard label. The main change to the label is the removal of Proposition 65 (Exhibit A). The enhancements make this label no longer needed.  ◆ Cartridge conversions will be occuring over the next nine (9) + months. Cartridges featuring the new cap and the new label will be identified by a yellow shipping label (Exhibit B), which will help with finished good inventory management.

Exhibit A Current brand standard label with Prop 65 warning:

New brand standard label without Prop 65 warning:

Note: the gray color below represents the silver label stock; the current cartridge color-coding system is being maintained in the new design.

Exhibit B Current white shipping label:

New yellow shipping label:

This change applies to all commercial and residential Pentair Everpure cartridges. There’s no change to product part numbers. Questions about Everpure products? Give us a call at 800-942-7873 or email us at info@filterpure.com

Re-opening your Restaurant or Food Service Facility? If you are an owner operator and have been shut down for an extended period of time, Pentair Everpure has the following guidance for your water treatment system;

Filtration systems are designed to be operated on a continuous basis with only relatively short periods of down time (overnight and holidays). When a system is shut down for an extended period of time, there is a potential for microbiologic growth. To address concerns with system operation after the shutdown, please follow the below instructions. This is applicable to all Pentair filtration systems (i.e., pre-filters, carbon-based cartridges and Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems).

Periodic Flushing In cases where the customer knows that the system will be down for an extended time and is able to get to the system on a periodic basis, follow the below flushing procedure every 3-4 days:

Filtration Systems
Flush the system for a minimum of 5 minutes by letting the outlet water run to the drain. For systems with multiple outlet ports, flush for a minimum of 5 minutes through all ports.
RO Systems
Empty the tank through the outlet port until the pump turns on. Once the pump is on, flush the system for 10 minutes by letting the outlet water run to the drain. For systems with multiple outlet ports, flush through all ports.
Shutdown for Less Than or Equal to 7 Days:

Filtration Systems
When you put the system back into operation, flush the system for a minimum of 5 minutes by letting the outlet water run to the drain and then proceed with normal operations. For the systems with multiple outlet ports, flush for a minimum of 5 minutes through all ports.
RO Systems
When you put the system back into operation, empty the tank through the outlet port until the pump turns on.

After an incredibly successful phase 1 opening for Restaurants and Retail throughout Florida starting last Monday. Governor Desantis allowed Hair and Nail Salons to reopen this week and it sounds like he is now ready to move Florida into Phase Two with an announcement later today!

Bars, pubs, and nightclubs that derive more than 50 percent of sales from alcohol will be able to operate at 50 percent of building capacity with an emphasis on diminished standing room capacity and prioritizing outdoor service, according to the governor’s plan. Gyms and fitness centers will be able to operate at 75% capacity. Restaurants will be able to increase occupancy to 75%, if appropriate social distancing and a minimum of 6-feet separates parties. The plan says that in phase two, theme parks could consider reopening with capacity limits, strict social distancing and proper measures to clean and disinfect. Sporting events will be encouraged to limit the occupancy of venues to 50 percent and will have to practice strict social distancing during phase two.
