- CLEANER WATER - This filter cartridge provides fine sediment filtration down to five micron nominal.
- LONGER CARTRIDGE LIFE - The grooved surface of this filter cartridge increases total surface area, which can lead to longer cartridge life (as compared to 3M non-grooved surface cartridges).
- WHOLE HOUSE FILTRATION - This filter cartridge fits into systems that filter water throughout the home for appliances, sinks, bathrooms, and laundry.
- IDEAL FOR THREE BATHROOM HOMES - This large capacity filter cartridge is ideal for homes with three or more bathrooms.
- HOUSING COMPATIBILITY - Use this filter cartridge with 3M Aqua-Pure Whole House Water Filter Housing AP802T and AP802B as well as most competitive 4.5” diameter drop-in whole house water filter housings.
- SIX MONTH FILTER LIFE - To maximize system performance and efficiency, regularly scheduled maintenance, including replacement of the cartridge every six months (or sooner if a reduction in water flow occurs) is required. Filter life is dependent on actual use and incoming water quality.
Product Description
-------------------
The 3M Aqua-Pure Whole House Replacement Water Filter Drop-in
Cartridge AP810-2 has filter capacity that is ideal for homes
with three or more bathrooms. This filter cartridge has
technology that provides fine sediment filtration, and its
grooved design increases total surface area, which can lead to
longer cartridge life. This is a filter cartridge for a whole
house water filter system, which helps protect pipes and
appliances from sediment.
From the Manufacturer
---------------------
The 3M™ Aqua-Pure® Water Filter Cartridge AP810-2 helps to reduce
sediment particles as small as 5 microns in size, as well as
rust, providing clearer water for drinking, bathing, laundry, and
other household uses. 3M’s exclusive Micro-KleanTM XL progressive
porosity technology forces water through pores that become
increasingly tighter, filtering smaller and smaller microscopic
particles. The unique process allows the cartridge to effectively
reduce sediment while providing a high flow rate. The cartridge
lasts up to six months before replacement.
The cartridge is manufactured by 3M Purification Inc. (3MPITM),
formerly CUNO Incorporated. It has a flow rate of up to 45
gallons/170 liters per minute. It operates at temperatures from
40-100°F (4.4-37.8°C) and water pressures from 25-100psi (172-690
kPa). It is for use with whole-house water filtration systems
AP802 and AP802-1.5C. The cartridge should be replaced every six
months, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.
It is for use with Aqua-Pure AP802 and Aqua-Pure AP802-1.5C Water
Filter Systems.
Whole-house water systems range from simple canisters
with disposable filter cartridges to complex systems of tanks and
filters for different contaminants. A system that includes a
water softener may be bypassed by a cold drinking water line to
provide salt-free drinking water. Whole-house systems are
typically installed immediately downstream from water meters and
well pumps, and thus may be referred to as point-of-entry (POE)
systems. Depending on the filtration and processes,
they remove or reduce iron, sediment, chlorine odor and taste,
and other and biological contaminants. In doing so, they
help protect plumbing and fixtures, reduce unpleasant tastes,
colors and odors; and, in some cases, provide ier water.
Regular maintenance of a whole-house water filter system may be
as simple as replacing a filtration cartridge every six months,
or may require an annual service call. The initial expense of a
whole-house water filter system often pays off in the long term,
as it may protect pipes and fixtures from iron and/or hard water
deposits and discoloration and provide savings in bottled water
costs.
