The Aqua-Pure AP110 whole house water filter has a 5-micron rating, effectively reducing sediment, dirt, rust, and sand particles from your home's water supply. It has a filtration capacity of up to 15,000 gallons or a service life of approximately 3 months, whichever comes first. Flow rate is rated at 10 GPM, making it suitable for standard residential whole house applications when installed in a compatible Aqua-Pure AP11T or AP12T housing.

Yes, the Aqua-Pure AP110 is tested and certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for the reduction of particulate matter (Class III, 5 microns). This certification ensures the filter meets strict industry standards for material safety, structural integrity, and verified sediment reduction performance in your whole house water system.

The Aqua-Pure AP110 should be replaced every 3 months or after 15,000 gallons of water usage, whichever occurs first. However, replacement frequency may vary depending on your incoming water quality and household consumption. If you notice reduced water pressure or visible sediment, it's time to replace the cartridge sooner to maintain optimal flow and filtration performance throughout your home.

The Aqua-Pure AP110 is specifically designed to fit the 3M Aqua-Pure AP11T and AP12T whole house filter housings. It features a standard 9-3/4" x 2-1/2" cartridge size, which also makes it compatible with most standard-size whole house filter housings that accept this dimension. Always verify your housing specifications before purchasing to ensure a proper fit and seal.

The Aqua-Pure AP110 is a dedicated sediment filter engineered to reduce dirt, sand, silt, rust, scale particles, and other suspended solids down to 5 microns in size. It is not designed to remove chlorine, taste, odor, or chemical contaminants—for those, consider pairing it with a carbon-based Aqua-Pure filter. The AP110 is ideal as a pre-filter to protect plumbing, appliances, and downstream filtration systems from sediment damage.
