Whole house water filter systems are great solutions to help protect your pipes and appliances as well as offer you great tasting drinking water from anywhere in the home. The 3M Aqua-Pure AP900 Series Whole House Sanitary Quick Change Water Filter Systems are the industry’s first Sanitary Quick Change (SQC) whole house system. The AP904 contains filter media that helps reduce sediment, chlorine taste and odor, and scale.* The AP904 improves water quality and taste while supplying cleaner, clearer water to every water source point in the house. These systems are referred to as point-of-entry (POE) systems and are installed downstream from the water meter or well pump. These systems help protect plumbing and fixtures while reducing unpleasant taste and odor. Maintenance of a whole-house water filter system is as simple as replacing a light bulb with a simple quarter turn of the 3M Aqua-Pure AP917HD-S Replacement Water Filter Cartridge or placing a service call with your local plumbing professional (please refer to your installation manual or replacement instruction card). The scale inhibition feature uses polyphosphates in minute quantities to bind calcium and magnesium hardness minerals, preventing them from precipitating out and building up on metallic surfaces which can reduce flow rates throughout the home’s plumbing system. 1″ stainless steel inlet and outlet connections provide easy installation for a plumbing professional and peak flow rates up to 20 gpm to meet the needs of residential applications. The innovative Sanitary Quick Change (SQC) design, an industry first for this application, allows for fast and easy cartridge change-outs without having to contact the filter media or the need for a filter wrench. The AP904 is manufactured with a head assembly that includes an integral mounting bracket. The 304 stainless steel head can be installed on existing copper pipes in the home. It consists of a corrosion resistant material that provides long service life. The stainless steel head comes with a 25 year limited warranty. * Tested and verified by manufacturer’s laboratory. ** Replace every 12 months, at 100,000 gallons of use, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow occurs.

If you want it, buy it. It works and is very well made. Detailed review below. Easy to install and very well built. Great results.I am an Engineering Manager at a cosmetics manufacturer and am very familiar with many different types of water filtration. This review is given with years of experience dealing with this technology on an industrial scale. I chose this filter after a few days of research and decided it was the best whole house filter for the money, and is made by a reputable company in 3M who I trust all of the products they put to market.PROS – The filter housing is solid, made of quality thick stainless steel and is polished on the inside where the water flows through. The polish removes the pits in the stainless where debris and consequently bacteria can collect and wreak havoc on water quality. The mount is sturdy and holds the entire unit well. When installing the filter cartridge it clicks in place like on the video, and assures you that you have assembled everything correctly.The water in my NJ home had…

Used filter. Filter Came used in a new box. Media was spilling out the top. I’m not the only one to have the same issue. First attempt at posting a review it was denied. Why? I have no idea. This is the second attempt.

In comparison I would say this is close but not as good, maybe 50-60% as good and for the price … I sold $3-7000 whole home water filtration systems, which means i know what to look for. In comparison I would say this is close but not as good, maybe 50-60% as good and for the price that’s amazing.My skin no longer feels like a reptile, and the water tastes a little better. However the sediments in the water weren’t taken down as much as I’d like so I’m getting a 1 MICRON FILTER 20″ FILTER to put before this filter to eliminate all the hardness.This made a massive impact on my water here near Philadelphia which everyone knows is crap water. My face wash never foamed before and I thought it was because it was a natural wash however now it foams on my face which is why I give this 5 stars.IMPORTANT NOTE:My pipes were 50 years old and the results took time. Water being a universal solvent it picked up all the crap in the pipes still. Every day it gets better. However I do strongly recommend you get the 1 micron filter.
