Product Details
Product Details
Improve ice taste and help protect your machine from sediment and scale.
The Manitowoc AR-20000-P Arctic Pure Plus primary water filter assembly treats incoming water before it reaches a compatible commercial ice machine. It combines sediment and chlorine taste and odor reduction with scale inhibition. This listing includes the head, shroud, mounting hardware, mounting assembly, and one cartridge.
For restaurants, bars, and hospitality operations, ice is an ingredient in the finished drink. Treating the supply addresses chlorine-related taste and odor concerns before the ice reaches a guest’s glass. Match the system to the machine and local water conditions so its treatment serves the actual application.
Order the assembly or the replacement you need
A new installation and routine cartridge service require different purchases. The primary assembly supplies the head and mounting components; a replacement cartridge services an existing compatible head. The optional prefilter performs a separate job upstream.
| Item | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Primary assembly | Supplies the head, mounting components, and initial cartridge for the filtration installation. |
| K00538 cartridge | Manitowoc’s currently listed replacement cartridge for this primary system. |
| AR-PRE-P prefilter | Reduces particulate matter before it reaches the primary filter. Sold separately. |
Before ordering a replacement, record the installed head model and complete cartridge number. Confirm the current replacement against the installed assembly instead of relying on a similar name or appearance.
Match treatment to the incoming water
Sediment filtration, chlorine taste and odor reduction, and scale inhibition address different concerns. Particulate filtration captures suspended material. Chlorine reduction addresses a source of unwanted taste and odor, while the scale inhibitor helps discourage mineral deposits on equipment surfaces.
If scale repeatedly returns, arrange a water analysis and review the results against the ice machine manufacturer’s water requirements. Scale inhibition doesn’t remove hardness minerals through water softening. The right treatment depends on the incoming supply, including any filtration already installed upstream.
Assess the complete ice-machine model and its water demand alongside the system’s rated flow and capacity. A brand match or daily ice-production range alone doesn’t confirm suitability, especially if several appliances share the same filtered line.
Preserve access for cartridge service
Position the assembly where staff or a technician can reach the head and remove the cartridge. Its sanitary quick-change design supports routine replacement with limited handling of the filter media. Leave the required service space rather than treating cabinet fit as the only installation check.
Follow the instructions supplied with the installed cartridge for replacement and flushing. Manitowoc’s Arctic Pure Plus cartridge guide provides cartridge-specific treatment and service information. Continue the connected ice machine’s cleaning and sanitizing routine.
