One 7" housing filters particulates, chloramines, chlorine taste and odor, and cyst. On boiler and generator steamers it also carries polyphosphate scale inhibition in the same cartridge.

What untreated water does, and what this filter does about it.
Three problems come in with the water supply. The FLT06XX Series handles all three in one cartridge.
Scale Buildup
Hard water leaves mineral deposits on heating surfaces. Heat transfer drops, cook times stretch, service calls go up.
Chlorine & Chloramines
Municipal disinfectants carry taste and odor into food and are hard on internal components over time.
Reliability & Warranty
Filtration protects uptime and helps keep the unit within its warranty water-quality requirements.
What the FLT06XX gives you.
Everything the two-cartridge system did, in one housing.
01
Half the Footprint
A 7" housing replaces the 18.8" dual-cartridge assembly. 63% less wall space.
02
More Chloramine Capacity
10,000 gal vs. 6,000 on the FLT0040. 67% more before a change-out.
03
Built-In Scale Control
The FLT0601 carries polyphosphate in the same cartridge as the filtration media. No second housing, no separate scale filter.
04
Simple Design
One head, one bracket, one cartridge. One connection to inspect, one service interval to track.
05
One-Step Change-Out
Cartridges twist out by hand. Needs 3" of clearance below.
06
Ready to Install
3/4" garden hose thread, inlet and outlet. No adapters to source.
07
Metal Hose Bracket
A 9" steel bracket carries and holds the hose runs.
Scale is what wears a steamer down.
Water carries dissolved calcium and magnesium. Heat it and those minerals deposit on the hottest surfaces in the machine: the boiler and the heating elements.
Longer heat-up and cook times. Scale insulates heating surfaces, so the same recipe takes more energy and more time.
More service calls. Deposits collect on probes, valves and drains.
Warranty exposure. Damage traced to untreated water may not be covered.
FLT0601 · Boiler & Generator Steamers
Polyphosphate, in the same cartridge.
The FLT0601 doses polyphosphate into the filtered water. Hardness minerals stay suspended and move through the system instead of depositing on hot metal, so the boiler stays cleaner between descalings.

FAQ
Common questions.
Which cartridge do I need?
Boiler and generator steamers use the FLT0600 System with the FLT0601 cartridge, which adds scale inhibition to protect the boiler. Boilerless and non-generator steamers use the FLT0602 System with the FLT0603 cartridge.
How often should I replace the cartridge?
Replace the cartridge every 3 months under typical commercial operating conditions. Actual frequency may vary based on water quality and usage. Your Cleveland representative or authorized service provider can recommend a schedule based on water testing.
Can I upgrade from the FLT0040?
Yes. The FLT06XX Series is the recommended upgrade, with the same 2.5 gpm flow rate and 0.5 micron filtration in a 7" housing. Note that connections change from 1/2" MNPT to standard 3/4" garden hose thread.
Is the FLT06XX Series NSF certified?
NSF/ANSI 42 (chlorine taste and odor) and 53 (cyst and particulates reduction) certification at a 0.5 micron nominal rating is currently in progress.
Can I use it with hot water?
No. The system is rated for cold water only, 35–100°F (2–38°C), at 35–60 psi. It is not intended for residential applications.
