3M Aqua-Pure AP904 Water Filter System: Reduces Sediment, Chlorine, Odor, and Scale

Whole house water filter systems are an excellent solution to protect your pipes, appliances, and ensure great tasting drinking water throughout your home. The industry's first Sanitary Quick Change (SQC) whole house system is the 3M Aqua-Pure AP900 Series Whole House Sanitary Quick Change Water Filter Systems. Within this series, the AP904 model is equipped with filter media that effectively reduces sediment, chlorine taste and odor, as well as scale. By improving water quality and taste, the AP904 provides cleaner and clearer water from every water source in your house.

These systems, also known as point-of-entry (POE) systems, are installed downstream from the water meter or well pump. Their purpose is to protect the plumbing and fixtures while eliminating unpleasant taste and odor. Maintaining a whole-house water filter system is as easy as replacing a light bulb. Simply make a simple quarter turn to replace the 3M Aqua-Pure AP917HD-S Replacement Water Filter Cartridge or contact a local plumbing professional for assistance (refer to the installation manual or replacement instruction card for guidance).

The scale inhibition feature uses polyphosphates in small quantities to bind calcium and magnesium hardness minerals. This prevents them from precipitating and building up on metallic surfaces, which can reduce water flow rates throughout the plumbing system. With 1" stainless steel inlet and outlet connections, installation is convenient for plumbing professionals. Peak flow rates of up to 20 gpm ensure that residential water demands are met.

The innovative Sanitary Quick Change (SQC) design allows for easy and quick cartridge change-outs without having to come into contact with the filter media or use a filter wrench. The AP904 is designed with a head assembly that includes an integral mounting bracket. This corrosion resistant 304 stainless steel head can be easily installed on existing copper pipes in your home, ensuring a long service life. The manufacturer's laboratory has tested and verified its performance.

The AP904 should be replaced every 12 months or after 100,000 gallons of use, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow occurs. This whole house water filter effectively reduces sediment build-up, chlorine taste and odor, as well as scale. By doing so, it prolongs the life of hot water heaters and appliances such as dishwashers and clothes washers.

Replacing the filter cartridge is easy due to the Sanitary Quick Change (SQC) design of the 3M Aqua-Pure AP917HD-S Replacement Water Filter Cartridge. No contact with the filter media or a filter wrench is required.

With a 100,000-gallon capacity and a heavy-duty particulate reduction rating of 5 microns, the replacement cartridge is highly effective in filtering water. It can handle high flow rates of 10 gpm and even intermittent peak flow rates of 20 gpm.

The flow rate is facilitated by 1" inlet and outlet connections, making installation easy for plumbing professionals. These connections can handle the water pressure demands of most homes.
