3M™ Aqua–Pure™ whole house standard diameter water filter drop–in replacement cartridge AP117 for the AP100 and standard and large diameter stainless steel housing series, is suitable for water filtration. This standard 3" diameter by 9.8" length drop–in cartridge is manufacturer tested and verified to reduce sediment down to 5 µm nominal as well as chlorine taste and odor.

• Reduces sediment, chlorine taste and odor
• Cartridge manufactured using proprietary polypropylene material for sediment reduction
• High quality granular activated carbon increases surface area for adsorption
• Average cartridge life: 6 months (incoming water quality may affect cartridge life)
• Santoprene gaskets on both ends help provide sealing within housings, which helps to prevent bypass of unfiltered water

Features include: 5 micron nominal, Average life: 6 months (incoming water quality may affect cartridge life), Flow Rate: 3 gpm/11.4 lpm, 3"/7.62 cm by 9.8"/24.9 cm, 25 to 125 psi/172 to 862 kPa pressure range, 4.4 to 37.8 °C (40 to 100 °F) temperature range.

To maximize system performance and efficiency, regularly scheduled maintenance including replacement of the filter cartridges at the required interval, at the rated capacity, or sooner if a reduction in water flow occurs is required. Filter life is dependent on actual use and incoming water quality.
