Nu-Calgon 4717-87 – NP48PS 6R Micromet/Sediment Cartridge (6 × 1 Case)
The Nu-Calgon 4717-87 NP48PS Micromet/Sediment Cartridge is a dual-action in-line filter designed for commercial ice machines, coffee brewers, beverage dispensers, and other water-using appliances. It combines fine sediment removal and scale control in one sanitary cartridge, providing clear, high-quality water while preventing mineral buildup.
Key Features and Benefits
- Dual-function design uses 5-micron polypropylene media for sediment filtration and Micromet (6R polyphosphate) for scale inhibition.
- Compatible with NP48DD filter housings featuring ½-inch FPT connections.
- Ideal flow rate for consistent performance in ice and beverage systems.
- Cartridge life of approximately 6 months under normal operating conditions.
- Effective scale treatment for up to 550 pounds of ice production per day.
- Sanitary, quick-change cartridge for easy replacement and reduced downtime.
- Constructed with food-grade materials suitable for commercial and foodservice applications.

Benefits
The Nu-Calgon NP48PS Micromet/Sediment Cartridge simplifies maintenance by combining sediment filtration and scale inhibition in a single unit. It extends equipment life, reduces downtime, and ensures consistent water quality for better-tasting ice and beverages. The 5-micron filter media captures fine particulates, while Micromet polyphosphate prevents lime and scale buildup on critical surfaces.
Maintenance Tips
- Replace the cartridge every six months or earlier in high-sediment areas.
- Flush the system after installing a new cartridge.
- Use a pre-filter if feed water contains heavy particulate matter.
- Monitor pressure drop and scale formation to maintain optimum performance.
