## Description

Product Description The 3M Aqua-Pure Whole House Standard Diameter Water Filter Drop-in Replacement Cartridge APS117 for the AP100 & standard and large diameter Stainless Steel Housing Series, is a good choice in water filtration. This standard 3” diameter by 9.8” length drop-in cartridge is manufacturer tested and verified to reduce sediment down to 5 micron nominal, chlorine taste and odor and scale. From the Manufacturer The Aqua-Pure® Whole House Replacement Filter AP117, compared to competitive carbon cartridges, delivers more chlorine reduction capacity, higher flow rates, lower pressure drops, and superior ability to handle particulate. As part of a whole-house system the cartridge is an economical, effective solution for common water-quality problems, helping improve the clarity, taste, and odor of water for drinking, laundry, bathing, and other residential uses.Manufactured by 3M Purification Inc., formerly CUNO Incorporated, the Aqua-Pure® AP117 replacement filter cartridge filters at a flow rate of 3 gallons/11.4 liters per minute. Water enters the cartridge at both ends, where it is prefiltered before flowing through a bed of high-absorption carbon. The cartridge has a five-micron filtration rating, allowing it to capture the smallest size particle generally considered to be a problem. It is 9 3/4 in /24.8 cm high. It is for use with systems AP11T, AP101T, AP1610SS, SST1HA, SS4 EPE-316L, SS8 EPE-316L, and SS12 EPE-316L.Almost every home can benefit from a filtration system that filters water as it first enters the home. Called point-of-entry systems, or whole-house water filtration systems, they reduce contaminants, improve taste, and reduce odor. Reduction of particulate, rust, and other minerals helps preserve plumbing and fixtures, while more appealing drinking water may provide a cost-effective alternative to bottled drinking water. In general there are two types of whole-house water filtration systems, cartridge and water treatment, such as backwashing filters and softeners. A cartridge system is typically more compact and requires a lower initial investment, but may have higher long-term operating costs due to the replacement cartridges. Before making a choice on a system for your home, you may want to have a water filtration contractor test your water and discuss your needs. The Aqua-Pure® AP117 Whole House Replacement Filter Cartridge, recommended for use in a whole-house cartridge system, removes particulate (dirt) as small as five microns in size, and helps reduce chlorine taste and odor.For more than a century, 3M has applied innovation and technology to improving our customers’ lives and supporting their business goals.
