FAQ

Q: How do I know when it's time to replace my OCS2 filter?

A: Replace the cartridge when flow rate becomes inconveniently slow, when pressure falls below 10 psi, or when capacity (1,500 gallons/3,000 pots) is reached. As a general rule, it's recommended to replace the cartridge at least once per year, even if capacity hasn't been reached.

Q: Is this filter NSF certified?

A: Yes, the OCS2 filter is tested and certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53 for various reductions including chlorine taste and odor, particulates, cysts, and asbestos.

Q: Can this filter remove bacteria from water?

A: While the filter has bacteriostatic effects (inhibiting bacteria growth on the filter media), it is not designed to remove bacteria from your water supply. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe without proper disinfection before or after the system.

Q: How do I install the OCS2 filter?

A: Install the filter vertically so the cartridge hangs down, allowing 2½" clearance below for easy replacement. Always flush the filter by running water through it according to the cartridge instructions after installation or replacement.

Detailed Features & Benefits

Advanced Micro-Filtration Technology: The OCS2 utilizes Pentair's exclusive precoat filtration technology with activated carbon to reduce chlorine taste and odor, while micro-filtering dirt and particles as small as 0.2 microns. This highly engineered design effectively removes impurities that can affect the taste and quality of your coffee, ensuring a clean, pure brewing experience. The filter is also validated by an ISO 17025 accredited lab for 99.999% reduction of Pseudomonas diminuta following the ASTM F838-05 protocol for 0.2 μm sterilizing grade filters.

Coffee-Specific Performance: Specifically designed for coffee applications, the OCS2 filter helps your brewing equipment produce the highest quality beverages possible. By removing chlorine taste and odor along with other offensive flavors, the filter ensures that your coffee's natural flavors can shine through. Additionally, the reduction in scale buildup not only protects your equipment but can help maintain consistent brewing temperatures for optimal extraction.

Cyst Reduction Capabilities: Beyond improving taste, the OCS2 filter reduces waterborne cysts such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia by mechanical means, adding an important layer of protection for your water quality. This NSF-certified performance gives you confidence that your water is being properly filtered for both taste enhancement and certain health-related contaminants.

NOTICE: Do not use with water that is unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection either before or after the system. The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this drinking water system are not necessarily in your water.
