When to replace a 3M™ Foodservice Water Filter Cartridge
There are three main things to keep in mind on when to change your filter:
-
Timeline guidance
- Overall cartridge interval change-out timelines (6 or 12 months for most 3M filters)
-
Capacity
- Capacity rating (gallon/litre lifetime rating if applicable)
-
Visual cues
- Machine residue forms or returns, reduced beverage output flow rate, low pressure reading if gauge present
See the photo on the right to find capacity and replacement interval guidance on your product label. Replace your 3M™ Foodservice Water Filter cartridge every 6 or 12 months, at the rated capacity, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow occurs.

-
Food prepared in water may have an off taste or hardwater scale flakes.

- Build-up of scale causing:
-
Reduced machinery life.
-
Loss in energy efficiency.
-
Reduced water flow rates.
Financial and customer loss.
-
Potential loss of customers and income.
-
Machine downtime.
-
Damage to your reputation.

Kitchen disruption with wasted time and increased stress.
