## Description

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 AP903 contains filter media that helps reduce sediment, chlorine taste and odor.* It 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 Replacement Water Filter Cartridge or placing a service call with your local plumbing professional. 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 AP903 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. * d 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.

Review: Best whole house filter. Works amazing with my well water. Filters out the rust and hard minerals. Our water was never palatable till we installed this filter, now it tastes great.
Review: Properly installed, it takes about a 4x6 space. My son and I bought all the piping and easy [no welding] couplings [~$209] to put it all together. 2-3 hours easily, assuming a new installation on an older set of pipes Works great. No more chlorine taste or smell - the filter needs to be changed about every year, and thats about $200 - less than 1$/day for water you would want to drink. Not a bad deal.

*by F***M on 20 September 2015*

Our municipal water tasted like dirt and had a strong odor. Everyone in my family complained. It was quite disagreeable. After installing the AP903 our water was delicious and odor free. Installation wasn't very difficult on our PEX water lines. The local plumbing store had the adapters and tools to get the job done. Once installed we noticed no reduction in water pressure in our household. It's just like it was before except our water is now drinkable.
