The AQUA-PURE™ whole house water filtration system reduces sediment or chlorine taste and odor (cartridge dependent) to help provide cleaner, clearer water by filtering out sediment and other contaminants from the water used throughout your entire home. The 3M™ AQUA-PURE™ water filter system is an ideal whole house water filtration system for larger homes and commercial buildings. It reduces particulate, rust and the taste and odor of chlorine, improving the quality of cloudy, colored or musty water. By improving the clarity, taste and odor of tap water, it provides an economical alternative to bottled drinking water. The filter system provides a heavy flow rate and is simple to install. The whole house water filter system, manufactured by 3M™ Purification Inc, formerly CUNO Incorporated, is for larger homes and commercial applications. Installed at point of entry, the water filtration system has a single vessel design with 1 in inlet and outlet ports. All parts are manufactured from FDA CFR-21 Compliant materials. The system provides a flow rate of 20 gal (75.7 L) per min. It operates at water pressures up to 100 psi (690 kPa) and operating temperatures up to 100 deg F (37.8 deg C). A pressure relief button is incorporated into the system for ease in cartridge replacement. 3M™ recommends replacement of the filter cartridge every six months at a minimum and regularly scheduled maintenance in order for the product to perform as advertised. The disposable filter cartridge must be replaced sooner than 6 months if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs. It should not be used with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Whole house water treatment systems, sometimes referred to as point of entry (POE) systems, are installed immediately after the water meter or well pump. A whole house filter that reduces iron, particulate and chlorine odor and taste will typically treat all water entering a residence, help protect plumbing and fixtures from rust build-up and discoloration while providing more appealing drinking water. If a water treatment system includes a water softener, a cold drinking water line may bypass the water softened.
