Everpure Cartridge Cross-Reference: Which Filter Fits Your System

Fitting the wrong filter cartridge is one of the most common - and most avoidable - mistakes in foodservice water filtration. The housings look similar, the part numbers run close together, and a cartridge that "almost" fits will leak, under-filter, or simply won't seat. This guide shows you how to land on the correct genuine Everpure cartridge every time.

The short version: Match on the EV code stamped on the cartridge or printed on the system spec label - not on the shape or the colour. If you only have the system model, work down from the system family to its matching cartridge.

1. Start with the EV code

Every genuine Everpure cartridge has an EV part number (for example EV9612-56). It's the single most reliable way to reorder. You'll find it:

• Printed on the label of the existing cartridge
• On the spec sheet that came with the system
• On the system's data label, usually listing both the head and the replacement cartridge

If you have an EV number, search it directly - that's an exact match, no guesswork. Every product on KE Parts Hub lists its EV code, so you can confirm before you buy.

2. No EV code? Identify the system family

Everpure cartridges are grouped by system family. If you can identify the family, you can narrow down the cartridge fast:

• 4C / 4CB5 / 7CB5 series - drinking water and ice; the most common single-cartridge systems
• MC² / MH² series - high-capacity foodservice systems, often twin or triple heads
• Insurice (i2000 / i4000) series - dedicated ice-machine filtration with scale and sediment reduction
• Claris / Claris Ultra - decarbonisation for coffee, espresso and combi ovens
• QC71 / QL3 heads - the manifold heads these cartridges twist into

Match the family on your head or housing to its cartridge and you're almost there. Still unsure? Send us the model and we'll confirm.

3. Match the job, not just the fit

Two cartridges can share a head but do very different jobs. Before you reorder, check the cartridge is rated for your application:

• Ice & cold drinks - chlorine taste/odour and sediment reduction
• Coffee & espresso - scale/decarbonisation control (Claris-type) to protect boilers
• Steam & combi ovens - scale reduction sized to the appliance's water use

Fitting an ice cartridge to an espresso machine won't protect the boiler from scale - the filter has to match the duty.

4. Don't forget capacity

Cartridges are rated for a volume of water (often in litres or gallons). Undersizing means you're changing filters constantly; oversizing wastes money. If your throughput has grown, step up a capacity rather than changing more often.

Buying tip: Keep a spare cartridge on the shelf for each system. A blocked filter takes a machine down just as fast as a failed part - and a cartridge is a fraction of the cost of a callout.

Quick checklist

1. Find the EV code - reorder exactly.
2. No code? Identify the system family (4C, MC², Insurice, Claris…).
3. Confirm the cartridge matches the job (ice, coffee, steam).
4. Check the capacity suits your throughput.
