Atosa USA, Inc. Ice Maker Filters - ICE140-S

Q: What is the Atosa ICE140-S filter used for?
A: The ICE140-S is a commercial 3M water filtration system designed for ice machines, helping improve ice quality and protect equipment from scale, sediment, and chlorine.

Q: What contaminants does the ICE140-S remove?
A: It reduces sediment, chlorine taste and odor, cysts, bacteria, and scale buildup, improving water quality and ice clarity.

Q: What is the filtration capacity?
A: Each system is rated for up to 25,000 gallons (94,635 liters) before cartridge replacement is needed.

Q: What is the flow rate of the ICE140-S?
A: It supports a service flow rate of up to 2.1 GPM (gallons per minute) for consistent ice machine operation.

Q: What micron rating does it use?
A: The ICE140-S uses a 0.2 micron filtration rating, helping capture very fine particles and microorganisms.

Q: What ice machines is it compatible with?
A: It is designed for commercial cube and flake ice machines, including Atosa models like YR140, YR280, YR450, and YR800.

Q: Does it help prevent scale buildup?
A: Yes, it includes a built-in scale inhibitor that helps reduce lime scale on evaporator plates, improving machine lifespan.

Q: Why is this filter important for ice machines?
A: It helps maintain cleaner ice, better taste, and longer equipment life, while reducing service issues caused by poor water quality and mineral buildup.c

• Replace the ICE140-S filter cartridge on schedule (typically every ~6 months or as water quality demands) to maintain peak ice quality and flow performance
• Always shut off water supply before changing the cartridge using the built-in 1/4-turn valve for quick, safe replacement
• Flush the system after installation to remove loose carbon dust and ensure clean startup water
• Monitor water pressure and flow rate (up to 2.1 GPM) to ensure the filter isn’t clogged or restricting ice production
• Inspect filter housing regularly for leaks, cracks, or loose O-ring seals
• Replace earlier in hard-water or high-use environments to prevent scale buildup in the ice machine
• Keep the filter and head assembly clean and dry during service to maintain NSF-grade hygiene
• Use only compatible Atosa/3M cartridges to ensure proper fit and filtration efficiency
• Track replacement dates to avoid reduced ice clarity, slower production, or off-taste issues
• Schedule routine preventive maintenance alongside filter changes to extend ice machine lifespan
