Need help?Do you have a question about the aqua-pure AP110 Series and is the answer not in the manual?
Patent-pending technology filters fine sediment down to 5 microns.
Increases surface area for longer life, 132% over non-grooved.
Prevents sediment unloading during water pressure variations.
Use with microbiologically unsafe water requires disinfection before or after use.
Regular maintenance and replacement are recommended for optimal performance.
Disposable cartridges must be replaced every six months or when flow rate reduces.
The Aqua-Pure AP110 Series and AP124 Series Whole House Water Filters are designed for pre-filtration, effectively removing particulates and rust from water. These filters offer enhanced performance compared to original designs, boasting up to 30% longer lasting filtration, 47% more surface area, and 50% greater efficiency.
The Aqua-Pure AP110 and AP124 series filters utilize patent-pending technology to provide fine sediment filtration. Depending on the specific model selected, these filters can achieve filtration down to 5 microns or 50 microns nominal. The core of their effectiveness lies in their grooved cartridge design, which significantly increases the surface area available for filtration. This design provides 132% more surface area compared to non-grooved cartridges and 47% more than previous designs, contributing to a longer cartridge life. The rigid construction of the cartridges is a key feature, as it helps to prevent sediment "unloading." This phenomenon, where trapped sediment is released back into the water stream due to fluctuations in water pressure, is mitigated by the robust design, ensuring consistent filtration performance. These filters are intended for installation at the point of entry for the entire house, ensuring that all incoming water is treated before it reaches various fixtures and appliances.
The Aqua-Pure filters are designed for ease of use and broad compatibility. They are manufactured from FDA CFR-21 compliant materials, ensuring safety for water contact. The cartridges are capable of operating in water with a maximum temperature of 170°F (76.7°C), making them suitable for a wide range of household water systems. The installation process is straightforward, with a diagram provided for reference. Users should consult the full installation and operation manual for detailed instructions to ensure proper setup. These filters are compatible with all 3M Purification Inc. filter housings, as well as most competitive filter housings, offering flexibility for existing systems. The various models within the AP110 and AP124 series cater to different flow rate and filtration needs, allowing users to select the appropriate filter for their specific household requirements. The filters are designed to be installed at the point of entry, meaning they treat all water entering the home, providing comprehensive protection against sediment and rust for all water-using activities, from bathing to cooking and laundry.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance of the Aqua-Pure water filters. 3M Purification Inc. strongly recommends scheduled maintenance and timely replacement of the filter cartridge(s) to ensure the product performs as advertised. Failure to adhere to proper maintenance schedules may lead to system failures. A critical maintenance feature is the disposable nature of the filter cartridge, which must be replaced every six months. Alternatively, replacement should occur sooner if a noticeable reduction in water flow rate is observed, indicating that the cartridge is becoming clogged and its filtration capacity is diminished. This proactive replacement schedule helps to maintain consistent water quality and prevent potential issues. The design of the cartridges, with their increased surface area, contributes to a longer lifespan between replacements compared to older designs, but adherence to the recommended replacement interval is still essential. Users are cautioned not to use these filters with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system, emphasizing the importance of using the filters within their intended scope and ensuring overall water safety. The ease of cartridge replacement is a key maintenance feature, allowing users to perform this task without requiring specialized tools or extensive plumbing knowledge, thereby simplifying the upkeep of their water filtration system.
