The HD-S keeps all of the scale build up off of my shower heads and dishwasher. We use to use the HD and it worked great for the chlorine, but did nothing for the scale build up. **Q: If this one will reduce water pressure?** A: I have a 2.5 story new house, and it's been installed since we moved in 7 months ago. We have never had great water pressure, and two people can't shower at the same time. I just tried bypassing the filer, and there's much better pressure. So yes it does reduce pressure, but I guess that's to be expected with a good filter that removes debris down to 5 microns... **Q: this says it can filter 100,000 gallons of water, me and my wife only use about 37,000 gallons a year, does it it mean it will last 2+ years.** A: This depends entirely on your water quality. I don't every see anywhere close to 100,000 gallons on mine before I start to get reduced pressure. If I had a one story house I could probably get longer, but I have to replace this every 12 to 18 months.. and I use less than 40k gallons a year. That being said, I live in AZ and my water quality is horrible.. and this filter makes a HUGE difference. **Q: Is this any good against bacteria/fungi/viruses? Want to know for my house in Mexico.** A: No. The filter only removes particulate matter. The material it contains is granular activated charcoal (GAC), the same substance that hospital ERs use to treat persons who have ingested poisonous material into their stomachs. The filter also removes chlorine, the substance that kills bacteria in water. If your water source is not treated with chlorine or similar anti-bacterial methods, you should not drink it. Think of chlorine as a protective wrapper. The filter removes the wrapper prior to drinking the water. If you buy a sandwich from a store, it comes in a protective wrapper. You don't eat the wrapper with the sandwich. ## Frequently Bought Together - 3M Aqua-Pure Whole House Water Filter, 3M Genuine Replacement Filter AP917HD for AP903 System, Quick Change Filter Design, Reduces Chlorine, Taste and Odor, Sediment, Dirt and Rust - 3M Aqua-Pure AP431 Whole House Scale Inhibition Inline Replacement Water Cartridge For System AP430SS, Genuine 3M Replacement Cartridge - 3M Aqua-Pure Whole House Replacement Water Filter AP810, For Aqua-Pure AP801, AP801-C, AP801T and AP801B Water Filtration Systems,White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/2053702-3m-aqua-pure-ap900-series-whole-house-water-filter-cartridge](https://www.desertcart.us/products/2053702-3m-aqua-pure-ap900-series-whole-house-water-filter-cartridge) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
