The carbon filter cartridge provides a high flow for up to six months before replacement. From the Manufacturer The Aqua-Pure® AP817-2 Water FilterCartridge helps reduce chlorine taste and odor as well as particulate and rust, providing clearer, more appealing water throughout the whole house. The carbon filter cartridge provides a high flow for up to six months before replacement.The cartridge is manufactured by 3M Purification Inc., formerly CUNO Incorporated. It uses granular activated-carbon media to reduce chlorine taste and odor, has a 25-micron filtration rating for particulate reduction, and a flow rate of 20 gallons/75.7 liters per minute. The cartridge operates at temperatures from 40-100°F/4.4-37.8°C. It is for use with the following Aqua-Pure systems: AP802, AP802-1.5C. The cartridge should be replaced every six months, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.Whole-house water treatment 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 after water meters and well pumps, and thus may be referred to as point-of-entry (POE) systems. Depending on the filtration and treatment processes, they remove or reduce iron, particulate, chlorine odor and taste, and other chemical and biological contaminants. In doing so, they help protect plumbing and fixtures, reduce unpleasant tastes, colors and odors; and, in some cases, provide healthier 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.For more than a century, 3M has applied innovation and technology to improving our customers’ lives and supporting their business goals.

Review: Works very well - no changes noticed on pressure - I installed this filter in a dual filter system, the first is a sediment only filter for 1 micron before my pressure regulator, the second is this filter after the pressure regulator. I tested for chlorine before and after. Chlorine was present before, there is zero chlorine after installing this filter. The water is so clean, I can put it directly in my freshwater aquarium without adding any stabilizing chemicals. Since I did the filter housing installs myself, I installed pressure gauges in three places - before the regulator, after the regulator before this filter and after this filter. I see no pressure drop across the filter while running a single shower. I imagine if I turned on all four showers in the house at the same time, I would see some pressure drop, but that's not a normal scenario, the most I ever see with my family is two showers or baths at the same time. This isn't the least expensive filter out there, but it is NSF 42 rated which adds cost to producing these units. My source water is pretty good to start with, pH is 7.0, kH and gH are 3, so I do get the full 6 months service life from my filters. I have great confidence this will extend the service life of all my household plumbing, and after this filter had been in place for 4 months, I replaced all the shutoff valves (multi-turn valves with rubber washers) with 1/4 turn ball valves to further reduce contamination in the system. We removed the filters from our refrigerators as they are now redundant and only slow the flow. We couldn't tell the difference between straight tap water and refrigerator filtered water after installing this whole house unit anyway. I'm glad to be out of the $100 spend every 6 months for refrigerator only filters! Best of all, with this configuration, the bottom of the toilet tanks (replaced all the toilets with dual flush after installing the new filter) has remained pristine so I am confident the sediment filtering is working as intended too. Review: Great filter - I have gotten this filter a few times over the last several years. It has been working well for me. In my case it has lasted longer than the recommended time before I needed to change it. ## Features - DESIGNED FOR USE WITH 3M Aqua-Pure 800 Series Whole House Water Filter Housings as well as most competitive 4.5” diameter x 20" length drop-in whole house water filter housings. - REDUCES SEDIMENT: Provides fine sediment filtration down to 25 micron nominal for cleaner drinking water. - LONGER CARTRIDGE LIFE: Grooved surface increases total surface area for longer cartridge life as compared to 3M non-grooved surface cartridges. - HELPS REDUCE SEDIMENT UNLOADING: Rigid construction helps prevent sediment release back into the water due to sudden changes in flow rate. - FLOW RATE: Up to 20 gallons per minute (gpm). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003N4WDBE | | Best Sellers Rank | #83,347 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #376 in Replacement Pitcher Water Filters | | Brand | Aqua-Pure | | Brand Name | Aqua-Pure | | Compatible Water Purifier Models | 3M AP800 | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 135 Reviews | | External Testing Certification | NSF | | Global Trade Identification Number | 50054007979727 | | Included Components | Replacement AP817-2 Water Filter Cartridge | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 4.5"D x 4.5"W x 20"H | | Item Type Name | Replacement Water Filter Cartridge | | Item Weight | 5 pounds | | Manufacturer | 3M | | Manufacturer Part Number | AP817-2 | | Material | Polypropylene (PP) | | Material Type | Polypropylene (PP) | | Model Number | AP817-2 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Benefits | Reduces Chlorine, Bad Taste and Odor, Removes Impurities | | Product Dimensions | 4.5"D x 4.5"W x 20"H | | Set Name | Aqua-Pure 800 Series | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **External Testing Certification:** NSF - **Item Weight:** 5 Pounds - **Material:** Polypropylene (PP) - **Product Benefits:** Reduces Chlorine, Bad Taste and Odor, Removes Impurities - **Product Dimensions:** 4.5"D x 4.5"W x 20"H ## Images ![3M Aqua-Pure AP800 Series Whole Home Water Filter Drop-in Cartridge AP817-2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61S-IoGaouL.jpg) ![3M Aqua-Pure AP800 Series Whole Home Water Filter Drop-in Cartridge AP817-2 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610G3yZvnrL.jpg) ![3M Aqua-Pure AP800 Series Whole Home Water Filter Drop-in Cartridge AP817-2 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6101pUzJWLL.jpg) ![3M Aqua-Pure AP800 Series Whole Home Water Filter Drop-in Cartridge AP817-2 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ETQRWdJ8L.jpg) ![3M Aqua-Pure AP800 Series Whole Home Water Filter Drop-in Cartridge AP817-2 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fMB8wnYfL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works very well - no changes noticed on pressure *by L***R on April 4, 2021* I installed this filter in a dual filter system, the first is a sediment only filter for 1 micron before my pressure regulator, the second is this filter after the pressure regulator.
