Everpure 4CB5-K Water Filter Cartridge (EV9617-36)
The Everpure 4CB5-K Water Filter Cartridge delivers high-quality filtration for vending, office coffee service (OCS), and small-to-medium ice machines. It features carbon block filtration to reduce chlorine taste & odor while filtering dirt and sediment down to 5 microns. Its KDF scale inhibitor also helps minimize limescale buildup, reducing equipment downtime. This filter is NSF/ANSI Standard 42 certified for safe, effective water filtration.
For espresso machines, we recommend the Everpure 4CB5-S or Claris Ultra, as KDF media is less effective in high-temperature environments.
How It Works
- Carbon Block Filtration: Reduces chlorine taste & odor for better beverage quality.
- Sediment Filtration: Removes dirt, rust, and particulates down to 5 microns.
- KDF Scale Inhibitor: Slows limescale buildup and inhibits microbial growth.
- Heavy Metal Reduction: Helps filter out lead, mercury, and other contaminants.
Ideal Applications
- Vending Machines: Ensures beverage consistency and taste.
- Office Coffee Service (OCS): Provides clean water for better-tasting coffee and tea.
- Small-to-Medium Ice Machines: Improves ice clarity and reduces scale-related downtime.
- Espresso Machines (Consider the 4CB5-S for Better Scale Control): For high-heat applications, a polyphosphate-based filter is more effective.
Limescale Reduction & Equipment Protection
Why KDF Media Is Less Effective for Espresso Machines
- KDF media works best in low-temperature water but loses efficiency in high-heat applications.
- Espresso machine boilers exceed 90°C, where KDF media cannot prevent mineral precipitation.
- Polyphosphate-based inhibitors (Everpure 4CB5-S, Claris Ultra) offer superior scale prevention for boilers and heating elements.

4CB5-K vs. 4CB5-S – Which One Should You Choose?
Both filters provide excellent water filtration, but they use different scale control methods:
- Everpure 4CB5-K – Features a KDF scale inhibitor that helps reduce microbial buildup and heavy metals. Best for vending, OCS, and ice machines.
- Everpure 4CB5-S – Uses a polyphosphate-based scale inhibitor, which is more effective at preventing limescale buildup in high-heat applications like espresso machines.

Questions & Answers
- Q: Can I use this filter in an espresso machine?
Yes, but it is not the best choice for scale prevention. If you want better scale control, opt for Everpure 4CB5-S or Claris Ultra. - Q: How does KDF media compare to polyphosphate scale inhibitors?
KDF media helps prevent microbial growth and removes heavy metals, but it is less effective in high-heat applications. Polyphosphate-based inhibitors (found in Everpure 4CB5-S) are better for preventing limescale buildup in espresso machine boilers and heating elements. - Q: How often should I replace this filter?
Every 6 months or when capacity reaches 6,000 gallons (22,710 L). - Q: Is this filter NSF certified?
Yes, it is NSF/ANSI Standard 42 certified for chlorine taste & odor, particulate reduction, and microbial control.
Coffee Parts Thoughts
If you need basic scale control and heavy metal filtration, the Everpure 4CB5-K is a great option for vending, office coffee, and ice machines. However, if you want better scale prevention for espresso machines, we recommend the Everpure 4CB5-S or Claris Ultra.
