3M™ ICE160-S Water Filtration System – High-Capacity Filtration for Commercial Ice Machines

Enhance the quality of your ice and protect your equipment with the 3M™ ICE160-S Water Filtration System. Specifically engineered for commercial ice applications, this high-capacity, single-cartridge system reduces particulate, chlorine taste and odor, cysts, bacteria, and scale buildup—delivering consistent, clean water at flow rates up to 3.34 GPM.

The ICE160-S features 3M’s advanced IMPACT Technology, a dual-zone filtration media combining membrane filtration with premium activated carbon. This technology extends cartridge life while improving filtration performance in high-demand foodservice environments. A built-in scale inhibitor helps prevent the formation of hard mineral deposits on evaporator plates, reducing downtime and equipment wear.

With a Sanitary Quick Change (SQC) cartridge design, 1/2” FNPT horizontal ports, and an integrated pressure gauge and shut-off valve, this system is built for fast, clean, and efficient maintenance.

Key Features:

• Crystal-Clear Ice Output – Filters sediment, chlorine, bacteria, and cysts for clean, fresh-tasting ice

• Long-Lasting Performance – Handles up to 35,000 gallons (132,489 liters) of filtration capacity

• Rapid Flow Rate – Supports up to 3.34 GPM (12.6 LPM) for high-volume ice production

• IMPACT Dual-Zone Technology – Combines membrane and carbon for superior filtration efficiency

• Scale Reduction – Built-in inhibitor helps prevent calcium and magnesium deposits on evaporator plates

• Bacteria Control – Reduces waterborne heterotrophic bacteria by up to 99.99% (HF60-S cartridge)

• Tool-Free Cartridge Changes – SQC design allows quick and sanitary 1/4-turn replacements

• Certified Safe Materials – Complies with NSF Standards 42 & 53 and FDA CFR-21
