SF165
The 3M Purification Inc. Water Filtration Products SF165 ScaleGARD™ HT System helps provide consistent Recipe Quality Water™
with reduced sediment and chlorine taste and odor. Operating cost
savings from the controlled and metered addition of scale-inhibitors
reduces the ability of calcium and magnesium to precipitate as hard
scale in both high and low temperature applications, including ice
machines, coffee, tea, espresso brewers and steamers*.
• ScaleGARD HT, SF165 combines chlorine taste and odor reduction
withs ediment reductions and helps protect against the effects of
scale formation at flow rates to 3.34 gpm (12.6 lpm) for 35,000
gallons (132,000 liters).
PRODUCT BENEFITS
• Advanced Integrated Membrane Pre-Activated Carbon Technology
(“IMPACT”) filtration media combines a membrane in series with
premium activated carbon to provide superior throughput and cartridge life.
• Reduced sediment and chlorine taste and odor for equipment protection and great tasting hot and cold beverages and ice.
• A forced-feed orice carefully controls and meters the addition of a
proprietary scale inhibitor to reduce scale build-up on heating coils.
• Superior scale reduction performance in equipment from ice machines
to equipment heating water to temperatures over 200°F (93°C).
• Sanitary Quick Change (SQC) HF65 encapsulated cartridge design
allows for fast and easy change-outs with a 1/4 turn while mini-
mizing the possibility of leakage and contamination.
• 3/4” FNPT inlet and outlet ports allow direct or easily adaptable
connections to existing plumbing lines.
• FDA CFR-21 and/or NSF compliant materials.
• System includes a pressure gauge, inlet shut-off valve and outlet
check valve for simple installation and operation.
