We designed the 3M™ Replacement Filter Cartridges AP1 Series to reduce sediment, chlorine taste and odor for cleaner, clearer, better tasting water on point of use water dispensers and drinking water systems. Select models also reduce cysts,¹ lead,* select VOCs* and bacteria.² Our Scale inhibition feature on AP1-C301-S and AP1-C305-S help prevent scale buildup and unscheduled equipment service.
When faced with the challenge of providing the best quality water possible to enhance your brand, protect your equipment and help increase your profits, 3M™ Water Filtration Products AP1 Series filter cartridges meet that challenge with ease of use for both your product and equipment while producing cleaner, clearer and better tasting water for your application. Our nylon membrane wrapped carbon block filtration media reduces sediment down to 1.0, 0.5, or 0.2 micron and, also depending on the model, reduces protozoan cysts (Cryptosporidium and Giardia) along with water-borne bacteria.² Models AP1-C305, AP1-C305-S are designed to reduce lead and parasitic protozoan cysts¹ and models AP1-C301, AP1-C305, AP1-C301-S, AP1-305-S reduce select VOCs.* Model AP1-C762M reduces water-borne bacteria² using a 0.2 micron nylon membrane wrapped around a carbon block media. Off the Scale! We incorporate polyphosphates in models AP1-C301-S and AP1-C305-S to reduce the ability of calcium and magnesium from precipitating out and building up on metallic surfaces.
