3M HF40-S High-Capacity Water Filter Replacement Cartridge

The 3M HF40-S High-Capacity Water Filter Replacement Cartridge is the replacement cartridge for 3M's ICE140-S ice machine water filtration system. It's built for high-volume ice production and for locations where the water isn't exactly clean to start with.

Highlights

• Certified to NSF Standards 42 and 401 for taste/odor and microplastic reduction.
• Handles up to 2.5 gallons per minute, so it keeps pace with high-volume ice machines.
• Also fits 3M's ICE145-S ice machine filtration system, not just the ICE140-S.
• Rated for water up to 100 degrees F and 125 psi of line pressure.
• 3M's I.M.P.A.C.T. membrane-and-carbon media cuts cysts and bacteria by 99.99 percent.
• Typically lasts 9 to 12 months depending on local water quality and usage.

3M HF40-S 0.2 Micron Filtration for High-Volume Ice Machines

This cartridge uses 3M's I.M.P.A.C.T. media, which pairs a membrane with a premium activated carbon block. That combination is what lets it hit a 0.2 micron nominal rating instead of the coarser ratings you see on standard ice machine filters.

• Sediment and chlorine reduction: Cuts particulate, rust, and chlorine taste and odor so the ice tastes clean instead of like tap water.
• Cyst and bacteria reduction: Reduces cysts and bacteria (including E. coli and P. fluorescens) by 99.99 percent.
• NSF certified: Certified to NSF Standards 42 and 401, covering both taste/odor and microplastic reduction claims.

Scale Protection and 25,000-Gallon Filter Life

Hard water is what wrecks ice machine evaporator plates over time. The HF40-S has a built-in scale inhibitor that keeps calcium and magnesium from precipitating out and caking onto those plates, which cuts down on descaling and service calls.

• Capacity: Rated for up to 25,000 gallons before it needs replacing, which typically works out to 9 to 12 months depending on your local water quality and how hard the machine runs.
• Flow rate: Supports up to 2.5 gallons per minute, so it keeps up with high-volume cubers, flakers, and nugget machines.
• Operating limits: Rated for water temperatures up to 100F and line pressure up to 125 psi.

Tool-Free Replacement for 3M ICE140-S and ICE145-S Systems

The HF40-S uses 3M's Sanitary Quick Change (SQC) design, so you twist the old cartridge off and the new one on without a filter wrench and without water spraying everywhere. It's a common replacement part for anyone already running a 3M ICE140-S system, and it also fits the ICE145-S.

If your ice machine is showing scale buildup or the ice has started picking up an off taste, this is the filter to swap in before you call a service tech.

For use with 3M ICE140-S system. Capacity: 25,000 gallons. Flow Rate: 2.1 gpm. Micron Rating: 0.2.
