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 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 processes,
they remove or reduce iron, particulate, chlorine odor and taste,
and other and biological contaminants. In doing so, they
help protect plumbing and fixtures, reduce unpleasant tastes,
colors and odors; and, in some cases, provide ier 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.
