The 3M Aqua-Pure AP117-BK is a drop-in replacement water filter cartridge designed for use with the AP100 Series whole house water filtration housings. This cartridge delivers 5-micron filtration, capturing sediment, dirt, sand, rust particles, and other suspended solids that pass through municipal or private well water supplies. It is a standard-size cartridge built for high-volume residential and light commercial applications where consistent water quality is required at every fixture in the building.
Plumbers and water treatment professionals rely on the AP117-BK for its straightforward drop-in installation. No tools are required beyond unscrewing the housing sump. The cartridge drops directly into the existing AP100 Series housing, making service calls fast and simple. With 36 cartridges per pack, this product is well suited for contractors who maintain multiple accounts or service routes where filter replacement is a scheduled part of preventive maintenance.
The 5-micron rating means this cartridge removes particles that measure 5 microns or larger. This level of filtration is effective as a whole-house sediment pre-filter, protecting downstream equipment such as water heaters, dishwashers, ice makers, and plumbing fixtures from particle-related wear and clogging. It is also commonly installed upstream of carbon filters or reverse osmosis systems to extend the service life of finer filtration media.
The AP117-BK is compatible with the 3M Aqua-Pure AP100 Series housings. Housings are sold separately. Flow rate and contaminant reduction performance will vary depending on the specific drop-in cartridge used and the local water conditions. Always verify compatibility with the existing housing before installation. This cartridge meets the needs of plumbing contractors, water treatment specialists, and facility maintenance professionals looking for a reliable, cost-effective sediment filtration solution.
The 3M Aqua-Pure AP117-BK delivers dependable 5-micron whole house sediment filtration in a drop-in cartridge format built for the AP100 Series housing. Its high pack quantity and easy serviceability make it a practical choice for plumbing and water treatment professionals.
