Product Description
Hydro Guard HDG-i2000(2) Replacement Water Filter Cartridge
The Hydro Guard HDG-i2000(2) Filter Cartridge is a high-performance commercial water filtration solution engineered specifically for commercial ice machines. Designed as an economical, direct-fit replacement for the Everpure i2000(2) (EV9612-22) cartridge, it prevents costly machine downtime by reducing scale buildup caused by hard water minerals while dramatically improving ice clarity, odor, and beverage taste.
Utilizing advanced DualTek filtration media, the Hydro Guard HDG-i2000(2) traps sub-micron dirt and particulates down to 0.5 micron while reducing health-related contaminants, including asbestos fibers, Cryptosporidium, and Giardia cysts. Its sanitary quick-change (SQC) design ensures fast, clean cartridge replacements without exposing internal filter components to physical contact or handling contamination.
Equipped with a self-contained scale inhibitor feed, the HDG-i2000(2) keeps ice maker evaporators, tubing, pumps, and valves free from abrasive scale buildup, corrosion, and clogging, extending the service life of commercial ice equipment.
