Stop settling for inconsistent ice quality and costly scale buildup. This water filter cartridge delivers precise particulate reduction and consistent flow to protect ice machines and maintain hygienic ice production across high-demand operations. Foodservice professionals, institutions, and hospitality managers can rely on engineered filtration that fits IFQ1 and IFQ2 housings, sustaining performance under continuous use.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug ice machine and shut water supply. Remove old Ice-O-Matic IOMQ cartridge and discard. Flush lines 1–2 gallons of water to clear debris. Install new IOMQ filter, hand-tighten, then open water and check for leaks. Sanitize ice bin with approved solution, rinse, and dry. Replace filters every 6 months or per CSA guidelines. Regular cleaning prevents foodborne illness, reduces fire risk from grease buildup on nearby equipment, lowers energy use, and avoids costly breakdowns.#@@#Additional Info#@#Ice-O-Matic IOMQ 0.5-micron cartridge fits IFQ1 and IFQ2 machines, reducing particulates and chlorine taste. It meets NSF certification; technicians install the 12.75" filter in-line to maintain 0.50–1.99 GPM flow rates and protect ice production.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Stop settling for inconsistent ice quality and costly scale buildup. This water filter cartridge delivers precise particulate reduction and consistent flow to protect ice machines and maintain hygienic ice production across high-demand operations. Foodservice professionals, institutions, and hospitality managers can rely on engineered filtration that fits IFQ1 and IFQ2 housings, sustaining performance under continuous use.
#@@# Filtration Precision#@#
This cartridge uses a 0.5 micron rated media to remove fine particulates that cause clouding and off tastes in ice. Facilities requiring clear, palatable ice benefit from tighter micron control, as the small pore size captures silt, rust, and other contaminants before they reach the ice-making system.
#@@# Flow Capacity#@#
Designed to operate within a 0.50 to 1.99 GPM service range, the filter maintains adequate flow for single-machine setups without sacrificing capture efficiency. Kitchens and bars facing variable demand retain consistent production rates because the cartridge balances filtration resistance with throughput.
#@@# Material Compatibility#@#
Engineers built the cartridge to install directly in IFQ1 and IFQ2 filter heads, assuring sealed connections and simplified replacements. Technicians save time on changeouts and reduce leak risk when they match cartridge geometry to existing housings.
#@@# Microbiological Safety#@#
Manufacturers certified the element to NSF standards, confirming design and testing against established public health criteria. Healthcare facilities and schools gain documented compliance that supports routine sanitation protocols and regulatory inspections.
#@@# Physical Dimensions#@#
The unit measures approximately 4 inches in width and 12.75 inches in height, fitting compact filter locations and conserving undercounter space. Operations with limited footprint allocate room for additional equipment or storage while maintaining easy access for servicing.

Flush the new cartridge with four gallons of potable water before service to remove manufacturing particulates. Inspect inlet fittings monthly for mineral buildup and tighten fittings to prevent leaks. Sanitize the ice machine per manufacturer intervals and record filter changes in maintenance logs for CSA compliance and traceability.
