Aqua-Pure 3M Whole House Sanitary Quick Change Water Filter System AP903, Reduces Sediment, Chlorine Taste and Odor

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.

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.

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.

The 3M Aqua Pure whole house water filter is a well-regarded option, particularly for those living in urban areas with municipal water supplies. It is recognized for its ability to filter out chlorine, improve water taste and odor, and remove larger particulates like sand, dirt, and rust. However, it's not as effective for households with more severe water contamination, such as well water with heavy sediment or other harmful pollutants. Key highlights include: While installation can be DIY for those with basic plumbing skills, it may require professional help due to the absence of some key components like bypass valves and connectors, which need to be purchased separately. The system’s design includes a stainless-steel head for durability and an easy-to-use Sanitary Quick Change feature, which simplifies filter replacement. The system is easy to maintain with the Sanitary Quick Change design, allowing for tool-free cartridge replacement. In summary, the 3M Aqua Pure is a solid choice for improving water quality in urban households using municipal water, but it may require additional filtration solutions for homes with more significant water contamination issues.

Keeps our tap water fresh. Appliances operate better and last longer as any sediment is removed. Easy installation. Great product! Each one lasts about 6 months.
