The average flow rate of water through this filter is 3 gpm (11.4 lpm) – ample for daily use in domestic spaces. It features a rigid polyethylene outer shell and can capture sedimentary particles of up to 5 microns. This is why there is an increasing demand for the APS117 among households with high-volume water filtration requirements. The ability to maintain minimal pressure drop further makes this replacement cartridge a worthy recommendation for a whole house water filtration system.
- Patent pending technology provides fine sediment filtration down to 5 micron
- Rigid construction helps to eliminate sediment “unloading” due to variances in water pressure
- Double open ended design allows for filtration regardless of which way it is installed in housing
- The unique flow design of this cartridge allows for the use of finer, more effective granular activated carbon which yields a very low pressure drop
- Neoprene gaskets on both top and bottom help provide sealing in any housing, helping to prevent bypass of unfiltered water down-stream
- Has a hardwater scale inhibitor
Note: Before use, purging each cartridge is necessary.
