3M PS195 (5633104) 3M™ Water Filtration Products Water Filtration Replacement Softening Cartridge

Reduce scale-forming hardness and chlorine taste in your espresso water.

The 3M PS195 (5633104) replacement softening cartridge reduces incoming water hardness and chlorine taste and odor for espresso applications. Designed for compatible filtration assemblies, it combines ion exchange softening with taste and odor treatment in one replacement cartridge. For cafés, restaurants, and hospitality coffee service, it addresses water conditions that affect both beverage quality and equipment care.

Hardness reduction targets minerals associated with scale formation on heated equipment surfaces. Chlorine taste and odor reduction supports beverage flavor. These functions serve different purposes, so assess both when reviewing water treatment for your espresso machine. A cartridge that addresses taste alone may not provide the hardness reduction your equipment requires.

The 3M PS195 uses a Sanitary Quick Change design that allows cartridge replacement without a filter wrench. Its enclosed construction also allows change-outs without handling the filter media. That’s a practical convenience when routine service needs to fit around beverage preparation. Follow the installed assembly’s instructions for replacement and flushing before returning it to service.

Confirm the replacement before ordering

Your espresso machine manufacturer’s water requirements should guide the treatment decision. Assess the supply feeding that machine, then compare incoming and treated water when reviewing performance. A current water analysis can clarify the conditions at your location and help you assess how the filtration assembly performs in service.

Keep installation dates, replacement dates, and water test results with the equipment records. Store the cartridge identification there, too, so staff can reorder the correct replacement without repeating the research. Review the manufacturer’s PS195 product information for the documented treatment functions and cartridge design.
