Manitowoc K00542 Ice Machine Pre‑Filter Cartridge — Replacement for K00337 (AR‑PRE Pre‑Filter Cartridge)
Manitowoc K00542 Replacement Pre‑Filter Cartridge
The K00542 is the OEM replacement for Manitowoc’s K00337 pre‑filter cartridge, designed for the Arctic Pure AR‑PRE sediment‑reduction stage. This 5‑micron high‑capacity filter removes rust, scale, and particulate to protect downstream carbon block cartridges and extend overall filtration system life. Rated for 20,000 gallons at 0.75 GPM with an operating pressure range of 25–125 PSI, the K00542 maintains consistent inlet water quality and supports optimal performance of Manitowoc ice machines.
