Omnipure - Q5486 - 8" x 2.5" Q-Series Twist Off GAC / Phohsphate Filter; Scale Inhibitor
Filter Performance & Dimensions
Omnipure Q5486 Filter Specifications
| Model Number | Q5486 |
| Filtration Media | Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) + Crystalline Polyphosphate |
| Primary Function | Scale & corrosion inhibition, chlorine taste & odor reduction |
| Connection Type | Q-Series Twist-Off (requires separate Q-Series head) |
| Available Head Fittings | 1/4" Quick-Connect, 1/4" NPT Female, or 3/8" NPT Female |
| Valve Feature | Twist Tap in-head valve with automatic shut-off on disconnect |
| Replacement Cycle | 6 months or when scale prevention diminishes |
Where This Filter Works Best
The Q5486 is engineered for equipment protection in commercial and residential applications where both sediment filtration and scale prevention are needed. Common installations include ice makers, coffee and espresso machines, beverage dispensers, drinking fountains, reverse osmosis pre-filtration, water heaters, distillers, evaporators, and steam generators. The polyphosphate media slowly dissolves to sequester calcium and magnesium ions that cause scale deposits and pipe corrosion, while the GAC component reduces chlorine that affects taste and damages downstream components. This is a replacement cartridge only and requires a compatible Omnipure Q-Series filter head, sold separately, with your choice of fitting size.
