Product Description

The NU-CALGON 9617-26 is a carbon block filter cartridge designed to polish water quality for demanding food service and commercial beverage applications. It reduces chlorine taste and odor, sediment, scale, and other contaminants that degrade the flavor of water, ice, and hot or cold beverages. The cartridge filters particles down to 5 micron, delivering consistently clean water at a flow rate of 1.67 GPM and a maximum operating pressure of 125 psi. Licensed HVAC and plumbing professionals and food service equipment technicians typically specify and install this unit in commercial filtration systems.

The 9617-26 is suited for refrigerator and ice maker lines, cold beverage dispensers, and hot beverage equipment in commercial food service environments. The sanitary cartridge design keeps all internal filter parts sealed and unexposed during replacement, preventing handling contamination. With a service life rated at 6,000 gallons or 6 months, it fits scheduled maintenance intervals common in restaurant and institutional settings. Note that this cartridge does not remove fluoride.
