Everpure EV9799-02 SS-10 ScaleStick Replacement Instruction Manual

1. Product Overview

The Everpure EV9799-02 SS-10 ScaleStick is a replacement cartridge engineered to inhibit mineral scale deposits and prevent corrosion in various water-fed equipment. It utilizes a specialized Hydroblend compound to provide effective scale prevention.

This cartridge is suitable for use with ice machines, office water dispensers, coffee machines, and espresso machines. For applications where water temperature consistently exceeds 125°F (52°C), the cartridge requires installation within a high-temperature housing.

The translucent design of the cartridge allows for visual monitoring of the Hydroblend compound's depletion, indicating when a replacement is necessary.

2. Setup and Installation

The SS-10 ScaleStick cartridge is designed to fit most standard 10-inch filter housings, including Everpure's current SR-X housings and all existing AR-X housings (old style).

Installation Steps:

1. Turn off Water Supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve for the equipment or system where the ScaleStick will be installed and turn it off.
2. Depressurize System: Open a nearby faucet or valve to release any residual water pressure in the system.
3. Open Filter Housing: Carefully unscrew or unclamp the existing filter housing. Be prepared for some water spillage.
4. Remove Old Cartridge: Remove the old ScaleStick or filter cartridge from the housing. Dispose of it properly, ideally at a recycling facility for Everpure filters.
5. Clean Housing: Inspect and clean the inside of the filter housing, including the O-rings. Replace O-rings if they appear worn or damaged.
6. Insert New Cartridge: Place the new Everpure EV9799-02 SS-10 ScaleStick cartridge into the housing, ensuring it is seated correctly.
7. Close Filter Housing: Carefully screw or clamp the housing back together. Hand-tighten only; do not overtighten.
8. Restore Water Supply: Slowly turn on the main water supply valve.
9. Check for Leaks: Monitor the housing for any signs of leaks. If leaks occur, turn off the water, depressurize, and re-seat the cartridge or check O-rings.
10. Flush System: Allow water to run through the system for several minutes to flush out any air or loose particles before using the treated water.

3. Operating Instructions

The Everpure EV9799-02 SS-10 ScaleStick operates passively once installed. The Hydroblend compound is automatically dispensed into the water flow at a controlled rate, providing continuous scale inhibition and corrosion prevention.

No manual adjustments or user interaction are required during the operational life of the cartridge.

4. Maintenance

Cartridge Replacement:

• The SS-10 ScaleStick has an approximate capacity of six months.
• Monitor the translucent cartridge visually for depletion of the Hydroblend compound. Replace the cartridge when the compound is visibly low or depleted, or at least every six months, whichever comes first.
• Follow the installation steps outlined in Section 2 for replacing the cartridge.

Disposal:

• Dirty Everpure filters and ScaleSticks should be recycled at your nearest designated drop-off location. Consult local recycling guidelines for proper disposal.

5. Troubleshooting

• Reduced Water Flow: If you experience a noticeable decrease in water flow, first ensure that the cartridge is properly seated within the housing. Check for any potential clogs in pre-filters if your system includes them.
• Persistent Scale Formation: If scale formation continues despite using the ScaleStick, verify that the cartridge was installed correctly and that it has not exceeded its operational life. Ensure the water temperature is within the recommended range or that a high-temperature housing is used if necessary.
• Leaks from Housing: If water leaks from the filter housing, turn off the water supply immediately. Depressurize the system, open the housing, and inspect the O-rings for damage or improper seating. Replace damaged O-rings and ensure the housing is securely, but not overtightened, closed.
