Everpure EV961227 I2000² Water Filter Cartridge

Keep planned filter changes on hand with a genuine six-pack.

The EV961227 package contains six Everpure i2000² replacement cartridges for compatible Insurice ice machine filtration systems. One case supports six single-cartridge changes or three complete twin-cartridge changes. Eligible purchases are covered by IceMachinesPlus’ 30-Day Price Match Guarantee, adding confidence when you reorder.

Confirm the purchase unit before ordering. EV961227 is Pentair’s six-cartridge pack, while EV961222 identifies one i2000² cartridge. Match the cartridge name, system label, required quantity, and pack configuration. Similar-looking Everpure cartridges can differ in capacity, treatment, and fit.

EV961227 is intended for compatible Everpure Insurice i2000² systems serving commercial ice machines. Review these planning points so the replacement matches the system and operating conditions.

On twin systems, service both primary cartridges under the same maintenance schedule so an older, loaded cartridge isn’t left in service. Prefilter-equipped configurations also use a separate prefilter with its own part number, capacity, and replacement instructions.

In listed systems, the EV961227 provides chlorine taste and odor reduction and Nominal Particulate Class I filtration under NSF/ANSI Standard 42. Those systems are also certified under NSF/ANSI Standard 53 for cyst, turbidity, and asbestos reduction. Pentair separately validates mechanical filtration of particles as small as 0.2 micron. That figure isn’t the NSF particulate rating. See the official Pentair EV9612-27 specification sheet for complete claims and limits.

The scale inhibitor helps reduce scale formation and clogging in distribution lines, evaporator plates, and pumps. It doesn’t soften water, remove all dissolved minerals, or eliminate existing scale. The cartridge inhibits bacterial growth on its filter media that could shorten cartridge life, but it doesn’t disinfect unsafe water. Don’t use EV961227 with microbiologically unsafe water or water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

For a controlled EV961227 cartridge change, follow the current system instructions because head configurations vary. Pentair’s cartridge-change instructions establish the general process:

• Shut off equipment power when directed, close the inlet water, and relieve system pressure.
• Support the head, turn the used cartridge left one-quarter turn until it stops, and pull down.
• Keep the replacement sealed until installation, and don’t touch its connection points.
• Align the cartridge lug with the head label, insert fully, and turn right until it stops.
• Restore water, flush to drain as instructed on the current label, and inspect for leaks.
• Record the model, installation date, capacity, and pressure limit before restarting the ice machine.

A slow fill or reduced ice output can indicate restriction, but it doesn’t prove the EV961227 is exhausted. Check supply pressure, shutoff valves, tubing, and the system gauge first. Our ice machine water filter replacement guide explains how to evaluate time, gallons, pressure, and flow together.

If the head, treatment requirement, or capacity doesn’t match, compare compatible Everpure ice machine replacement cartridges. A similar-looking cartridge isn’t a verified substitute.

A few purchase and service details deserve direct answers.

Is EV961227 a single cartridge or a six-pack?

EV961227 is Pentair’s six-cartridge pack. The corresponding single-cartridge part number is EV961222. Confirm that the IceMachinesPlus title, displayed price, and order quantity identify the complete six-pack before purchasing.

Which Everpure systems use EV961227?

EV961227 supplies i2000² cartridges for compatible Everpure Insurice Single-i2000², Twin-i2000², and prefilter-equipped configurations. Confirm the system label and number of primary cartridges before ordering.

What does the Everpure i2000² cartridge reduce?

Each i2000² cartridge in EV961227 reduces chlorine taste and odor, Nominal Particulate Class I, cysts, turbidity, and asbestos in certified system configurations. Pentair also validates mechanical filtration down to 0.2 micron and scale inhibition. It doesn’t soften water or disinfect unsafe water.

How often should I replace my Everpure water filter?

Replace it at least yearly, before reaching 9,000 gallons per cartridge, when flow becomes inconveniently slow, or when downstream pressure falls below 10 psi. The first applicable limit controls.

How do I change an Everpure cartridge?

On a compatible quarter-turn head, shut off the water, relieve pressure, turn the used cartridge left one-quarter turn, and pull it down. Align and insert the replacement, turn it right until it stops, restore water, flush as directed, and check for leaks before restarting equipment.
