Everpure EV953440 EC110 Prefilter Cartridge

Stop sediment before it reaches the primary filter.

The Everpure EV9534-40 (EV953440) EC110 prefilter cartridge captures larger dirt and rust particles before they can load a downstream primary filter. IceMachinesPlus offers this replacement cartridge individually, making it easy to service one housing or keep a spare ready, with eligible orders covered by our 30-Day Price Match Guarantee.

Pentair uses EV953440 for its 40-cartridge case configuration. This IceMachinesPlus listing is for one individual EC110 cartridge. The prefilter housing, primary cartridge, O-ring, fittings, and installation hardware aren’t included.

Before ordering, confirm the installed housing, cartridge dimensions, and system flow requirements. The EV9534-40 is a drop-in sediment prefilter, not a quick-change primary filter cartridge.

The EC110’s tightly spun media provides 10-micron nominal sediment filtration. It reduces the particulate load reaching a primary cartridge, helping that filter perform its intended treatment without becoming loaded as quickly.

Pentair’s literature doesn’t claim that the EV9534-40 reduces chlorine, taste, odor, hardness, scale, cysts, or microorganisms. It doesn’t replace carbon filtration, scale control, fine filtration, or disinfection. Its role is focused: capturing larger sediment before water reaches downstream treatment and connected equipment.

Review Pentair’s EC110 cartridge specification sheet and the instructions for the installed housing before replacement. Compatibility depends on the cartridge diameter, bowl dimensions, sealing surfaces, and system limits, not the nominal housing length alone.

During inspection and replacement:

• Shut off the water and relieve system pressure according to the housing instructions.
• Remove the housing bowl rather than trying to unscrew the cartridge.
• Replace the loaded cartridge. Pentair provides a replacement procedure, not a cleaning-and-reuse procedure, for the EC110.
• Clean the housing bowl using the system manufacturer’s approved procedure.
• Inspect the O-ring for wear, damage, or distortion during each cartridge change.
• Lubricate or replace the O-ring only as directed by the housing manufacturer.
• Seat the new cartridge correctly before reinstalling the bowl.
• Restore water gradually, check for leaks, and confirm adequate downstream flow.

When installed in a clear Everpure prefilter housing, the EV9534-40 can be inspected without opening the bowl. Pentair directs operators to replace the cartridge once dirt has penetrated through to its inner core.

For an E-10 system, Pentair recommends replacing the cartridge every six months as part of a scheduled maintenance program, sooner when capacity is reached or pressure or flow becomes inadequate, and at least once per year. Actual service life depends on sediment load and water use. Our guide explains when to replace an ice machine water filter.

Operating the housing without an EC110 bypasses its sediment-prefiltration function, allowing particulate to reach downstream filtration and equipment. Don’t use the cartridge with microbiologically unsafe water, or water of unknown quality, without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

If the installation also needs a housing, primary treatment, or a complete equipment-protection setup, compare compatible commercial water filtration systems before ordering the prefilter cartridge alone.

A few details about the EV9534-40 are important before replacement.

Is this EV9534-40 listing for one cartridge or a 40-cartridge case?

This IceMachinesPlus listing is for one individual EC110 replacement cartridge. Pentair uses EV953440 as its 40-cartridge case identifier, but IceMachinesPlus offers the cartridge individually on this PDP.

Which housing fits the EV9534-40?

The EV9534-40 fits the Everpure E-10 housing and most compatible 10-inch drop-in housings. Confirm the cartridge diameter, bowl dimensions, sealing surfaces, and system flow limit before ordering.

How often should the Everpure EC110 cartridge be replaced?

For an E-10 system, replace it every six months under a scheduled program, sooner if dirt reaches the inner core or flow becomes inadequate, and at least once per year. Heavy sediment may require more frequent replacement.

Can the EC110 cartridge be cleaned and reused?

No cleaning-and-reuse procedure is provided for the EC110. Replace the loaded cartridge according to Pentair’s instructions, and clean the reusable housing bowl separately.

Does the EV9534-40 reduce chlorine, bacteria, or scale?

No such reduction claims are stated in Pentair’s EC110 literature. This is a 10-micron nominal sediment prefilter designed to capture larger dirt and rust particles, not a carbon, scale-control, or microbial-treatment cartridge.
