About this item

Product Details

Intercept sediment before it reaches your primary filter.

The Manitowoc AR-PRE-P ArcticPure Plus prefilter reduces sediment in incoming water before it reaches a compatible primary filter. By capturing particulate matter upstream, it helps extend primary-filter life, especially where sediment contributes to frequent primary-cartridge replacement.

This listing includes the prefilter head, shroud, mounting hardware, and one cartridge. It’s intended for use alongside a compatible primary filter. If you already have a prefilter assembly and need routine cartridge service, identify the installed head before ordering another assembly.

ArcticPure Plus filtration stages

Treatment roles of the AR-PRE-P prefilter and compatible primary filter
Stage Purpose
Prefilter Reduces sediment before water reaches the primary cartridge.
Primary filter Provides its specified treatment, including chlorine taste and odor reduction and scale inhibition.

Review your water analysis and maintenance records with your installer before ordering. Frequent primary-filter changes can justify investigating sediment loading, but the replacement history alone doesn’t establish the cause. Assess incoming water conditions and the existing supply to determine how prefiltration would serve your installation.

The prefilter handles sediment, while the compatible primary cartridge supplies its specified chlorine reduction and scale inhibition. Match both stages to the ice machine’s water requirements. This distinction matters when the site experiences more than one concern, such as sediment alongside chlorine-related taste or mineral deposits.

Position the AR-PRE-P ahead of the primary filter in the incoming water path. Your installer should verify the connections, mounting arrangement, and water delivery through both stages. Account for the connected ice machine’s demand and other equipment drawing from the same supply so the added filtration stage suits the complete installation.

Leave sufficient clearance beneath each cartridge for independent removal and service. If you’re adding the prefilter beside an existing primary assembly, check access to both heads and nearby connections before approving the mounting location. Routine replacement should remain practical without shifting adjacent equipment.

Quick-change cartridges and internal shutoff valves simplify upkeep. Follow the instructions supplied with each cartridge for removal, installation, and flushing. Record the date and replacement part separately for each stage so staff can distinguish prefilter service from primary-filter service. Keep those records accessible, and review Manitowoc’s current cartridge guidance before ordering replacements.

AR-PRE-P ice machine prefilter FAQs

Does this listing include the prefilter head and cartridge? Yes. It includes the prefilter assembly and one cartridge. The primary filter is separate, and a replacement prefilter cartridge is a service item for an existing compatible head.
Which primary filters work with the AR-PRE-P? Manitowoc documents its use with the ArcticPure Plus AR-10000-P, AR-20000-P, and AR-40000-P primary systems. Verify the complete installation against the connected ice machine’s water requirements.
Which replacement cartridge fits the AR-PRE-P? Manitowoc’s newer documentation identifies the K00536 replacement cartridge. Older literature identifies K00496. Confirm the current replacement for the installed assembly, and follow the instructions supplied with that cartridge.
How often should the prefilter cartridge be replaced? Manitowoc’s newer cartridge guidance recommends replacement at least every six months, or sooner if flow becomes inconveniently slow. Local water conditions can affect the interval, so record changes and investigate reduced flow promptly.
Can this prefilter be added to an existing ArcticPure Plus system? Yes. Manitowoc’s installation manual includes a retrofit procedure. Have your installer assess the existing primary assembly, mounting space, and water-line routing, then follow the manufacturer’s procedure for the connection.

Order the AR-PRE-P to reduce sediment upstream and help protect a compatible primary filter from particle loading. Browse our water filtration systems, or call 1-877-900-4423 for assistance confirming the pairing and replacement cartridge. We’ll help you match the filtration stages to your water conditions and ice machine.
