General
These instructions are provided to assist the qualified
installer. Check your local Yellow Pages for the name of the
nearest Manitowoc distributor, or call Manitowoc Ice for
information.
The ArcticPure® water filtration systems are designed to
reduce coarse and fine particulate matter from the incoming
potable water supply. Chlorine will be reduced in the
water so as not to adversely affect the ice produced or the
equipment components. Scale inhibitor is automatically
fed into the water to inhibit the formation of scale on
water solenoids and evaporator plates. The NSF seal on
these products is recognized worldwide as a sign that the
product to which it is affixed complies with the public health
requirements.
• DO NOT install on line pressure above 125 psi (862 kPa).
• DO NOT install on hot water line. Maximum temperature
allowed is 100°F (38°C).
• DO NOT install in direct sunlight.
• DO NOT reverse connections. The system must be
installed with the inlet and outlet as labeled.
• DO NOT install ArcticPure® filter systems in locations
where they can be damaged by other free-standing
equipment.
• PROTECT from freezing.
• INSTALLATION must comply with existing state or local
plumbing codes.
This piece of equipment is made in America and has
American sizes on hardware. All metric conversions are
approximate and vary in size.
Safety
Always follow these safety precautions when installing and
operating the water filter system.
nWarning
DO NOT use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system.
Notice
DO NOT use a torch or other high temperature sources
near filter or cartridge.

Installation Section 2
Location
ArcticPure® water filtration systems should be located on the
incoming cold water line and preferably away from heavy
traffic areas. The system should be mounted on a wall or
structure that will support the weight of the system when
filled with water.
Notice
This product is designed for cold water use only (less than
100°F [38°C]). Passing hot water through this product
may seriously damage filter housings and/or cartridges
and affect warranty coverage.
ArcticPure® systems may be used with metal or non-metallic
piping systems.
NOTE: Any non-metallic fittings used in the installation must
be of adequate rating for the line pressure.
Water Service

connections on the inlet and outlet ports.
John Guest connections are suitable for use with the
following tubing:
• Polyethylene
• Nylon
• Polyurethane
• Seamless Brass (soft)
• Seamless Copper (soft)
• Seamless Mild Steel (soft)
Notice
DO NOT use with hard metal tubing such as:
• Stainless steel
• Chrome plated copper
• Hard metal polished tubing

Installation - AR-10000/AR-20000 & AR-40000
Shut off the incoming water supply.
For John Guest Fitting Installation:
NOTE: Please review the following recommendations before
installing the water lines.
• Tubing must be 3/8" O.D., (.371 - .376).
• Cut the tube square. The outside diameter must be free
of score marks.
• Burrs and sharp edges must be removed prior to
installation.
NOTE: Use a tube insert for thin-walled plastic tubing.
To install water lines into the inlet/outlet ports:
1. Insert water line tubing into the inlet port fitting.
Notice
The fitting will grip before it seals. Tubing must be pushed
into the tube stop to prevent leaks.
2. Pull on the tubing to be sure it is secure. If the tubing
releases, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this
manual to reinstall.
3. Repeat for the outlet port fitting. Connect outlet water
line to the potable water connection on the ice machine.
NOTE: For water-cooled machines, be sure that the filter
system only feeds the potable water connection.
Installation - AR-Pre
NOTE: If the AR-Pre is being retrofitted to an existing
ArcticPure® system, shut off the incoming water supply,
relieve the filter pressure by removing the existing filter
cartridge(s), and disengage the water inlet line. A small
quantity of water will be vented directly behind the cartridge
body.
1. Draw a minimum 8" (20.3 cm) level line to the left of
the primary filter system bracket from the center of the
lower left mounting screw.
A. For installation to an AR-10000/AR-20000 system,
mark the first hole for the AR-Pre on the level line
4.5" (11.4 cm) from the center of the lower left
mounting fastener on the primary system.
B. For installation to an AR-40000 system, mark
the first hole for the AR-Pre on the level line
5.5" (13.9 cm) from the center of the lower left
mounting screw on the primary system.
2. Mark and drill the mounting holes for the AR-Pre.
3. Insert the precut copper tubing into the outlet fitting of
the AR-Pre head.
4. Insert opposite end of the tubing into the inlet fitting of
the primary filter assembly.
Notice
The fitting will grip before it seals. Tubing must be pushed
into the tube stop to prevent leaks.
5. Pull on the tubing to be sure it is secure. If the tubing
releases, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this
manual to reinstall.
6. Align the prefilter mounting keyhole slots with the
predrilled holes.
7. Install mounting screws and tighten.
8. Insert incoming water line into the inlet port of the
AR-Pre. Follow notes and steps 1-3 under “Installation -
AR-10000/AR-20000/AR-40000”.
9. Remove the protective cap from the cartridge.

10 Part Number: 8014623 Rev01 2/17
Installation Section 2
10. Inspect the cartridge and o-rings for damage. See
Recommended Replacement Parts List if replacement is
required.
,Caution
DO NOT use petroleum jelly.
11. Lubricate o-rings with food grade lubricant.
12. With the product label facing to the left, insert the
cartridge into the filter head. Rotate 1/4 turn to the right
to secure. Product label will face forward.
Installation Checklist
Have the min.-max. water temperature and pressure
been checked? (Refer to “General”)
Has the filter system been installed away from heavy
traffic areas?
Is the system installed securely to the mounting surface?
Has the water supply line been checked for suitability?
(Refer to “Water Service”)
Have the water supply lines been securely installed into
the inlet/outlet ports? (Refer to “Installation - AR-10000/
AR-20000 & AR-40000”)
Start-Up Procedure
1. Turn on the incoming water supply.
2. Check for leaks. If the connections are leaking, refer to
the Troubleshooting section of this manual to reinstall.
NOTE: System should be flushed for 2 minutes to remove
trapped air and carbon fines (5 minutes for AR-Pre).
To set the pressure gauge:
• Rotate the red follower needle clockwise until it contacts
the black pressure needle on the low side.
• The red follower needle will now record the lowest water
pressure when the filter system is in use.
NOTE: The filter pressure will decrease as the cartridge life
decreases.
Changing Cartridges
ArcticPure® cartridges will need to be changed for one or
more of the following reasons:
• The filter has trapped water-borne sediment and the
water flow has stopped or water pressure through the
filter has dropped below 20 psi (138 kPa).
• The maximum life of the carbon filter has been reached
and the filter will no longer reduce chlorine to acceptable
levels.
• The scale inhibitor has been completely dissolved and
hard scale build-up may accelerate.
It is recommended that ArcticPure® filter cartridges be
changed out:
• Every 6 months or when water pressure through the
system drops below 20 psi (138 kPa), whichever occurs
first.
To change the filter:
1. Rotate the cartridge 1/4 turn to the left. The cartridge
should easily release. Dispose of used cartridge.
Important
ArcticPure® systems are equipped with internal shut-off
valves. It is not necessary to shut off the incoming water
supply during cartridge changeout.
2. Remove the protective cap from the cartridge.
3. Inspect the cartridge and o-rings for damage. See
Replacement Parts list if replacement is required.
4. Lubricate o-rings with food grade lubricant.
,Caution
DO NOT use petroleum jelly.
5. With the product label facing to the left, insert the
cartridge into the filter head. Rotate 1/4 turn to the right
to secure. Product label will face forward.
