Description

More than a filter, more than a feeder, Micro Plus is the

complete treatment program for commercial ice makers,

coffee urns and brewers, beverage machines and other

water-using equipment such as humidifiers, steamers and

residential refrigerator ice makers.

Application

Micro-Plus Treatment Systems are available in a variety of

size capacities, from the Micro-Plus 2, which can be used

on equipment using up to 12.5 gallons of water per day, to

the Micro-Plus 16 for treating up to 100 gallons of water per

day. Micro-Plus systems are designed and manufactured

to eliminate or control the three primary water-related

problems: lime scale, silt and sediment, and objectionable

tastes and odors encountered in ice makers, coffee urns and

other equipment. These problems all reduce the designed

capacities of this equipment, and they cause operation and

service costs to increase.

Lime Scale:

All water supplies contain hardness and alkalinity minerals.

Without proper treatment, these minerals will cause lime scale

formation in ice makers, coffee makers, humidifiers, etc.,

equipment that allows for the freezing or heating of the water.

Solution:

Micro-Plus contains 6R Micromet®, an NSF-Listed, food-

grade slowly soluble polyphosphate, which dissolves slowly

into the water and stabilizes the hardness minerals, thereby

preventing scale formation.

Tested and Certified by NSF International

against ANSI/NSF Standard 42 for Odor

and Taste Reduction, Chlorine Reduction.

Silt and Sediment:

When a water supply contains suspended matter, this can

be troublesome in all types of equipment. The suspended

particles will plug solenoid valves, distribution lines, small

orifices.

Solution:

Micro-Plus is equipped with a 100 micron screen to pre-filter

the water as it enters the device and a 20 micron filter disc

to filter the water as it leaves the device. This graduation

of micron filtration (100 micron to 20 micron) enhances

the devices service life in waters containing a high level of

suspended particles, yet still provides 20 micron water.

Objectionable Taste and Odor:

Compounds such as chlorine and hydrogen sulfide cause

bad tastes and odors. In addition, chlorine can be corrosive

and it can also inhibit or reduce the carbonation of water in

beverage machines.

Solution:

Micro-Plus contains the best available activated carbon

for absorbing these contaminants. It will remove these

objectionable tastes and odors, providing quality water or

ice.

HOW DOES MICRO-PLUS® WORK? CUSTOM MOLDED HOUSING The housing is constructed of a P.V.C. material which meets FDA and NSF standards for use in drinking water systems. FOURTH STAGE A high density polyethylene filter disc that traps suspended particles as small as 20 microns. THIRD STAGE Special blend of a highly absorbent activated carbon.
PAGE 3
Chlorine Reduction As part of the NSF testing procedure, the Micro-Plus units were challenged by a highly chlorinated test water. As shown in the Reduction Table below, this water contained 2.0 mg/l (2 ppm) of chlorine, which is approximately 10 times the level of available chlorine seen in typical water supplies. Since the normal amount of chlorine is 0.1-0.

Special Notes on the Equipment to be Treated Ice Makers: Ice makers, both cubers and flakers, can be troubled by all three water-related problems. They are almost always troubled with scale since all water supplies contain some hardness and alkalinity minerals. Both air-cooled and water-cooled machines will need treatment. In the case of water-cooled machines, be sure to treat only the water being made into ice.
