Water Treatment/Filtration 
GENERAL
Local water conditions may require the installation of a 
water treatment system to inhibit scale formation, filter 
out sediment, and remove chlorine taste and odor. 
Consult your local distributor for information on 
Manitowoc’s full line of NSF
-certified Tri-Liminator
filtration systems.
FILTER REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
Tri-Liminator
 systems include a pre-filter and a primary 
filter. For maximum filtration efficiency, replace the 
primary filter cartridge every six months. If the filter 
gauge reading drops below 20 psig prior to six months 
usage, replace the pre-filter first.
1. Turn off the water supply at the inlet shutoff valve.
