It reduces sediment, chlorine taste and odor, and scale buildup, protecting plumbing and appliances while delivering fresh, great-tasting water throughout your home. With a robust 100,000 gallon capacity and durable 304 stainless steel head, it supports high flow rates up to 20 GPM and is NSF Standard 42 certified for trusted performance. ## Description Whole house water filter systems are great solutions to help protect your pipes and appliances as well as offer you great tasting drinking water from anywhere in the home. The 3M Aqua-Pure AP900 Series Whole House Sanitary Quick Change Water Filter Systems are the industry's first Sanitary Quick Change (SQC) whole house system. The AP904 contains filter media that help reduce sediment, chlorine taste and odor, and scale. The AP904 improves water quality and taste while supply cleaner, clearer water to every water source point in the house. These systems are referred to as point-of-entry (POE) systems and are installed downstream from the water meter or well pump. These systems help protect plumbing and fixtures while reducing unpleasant taste and odor. Maintenance of a whole-house water filter system is as simple as replacing a light bulb with a simple quarter turn of the 3M Aqua-Pure AP917HD-S Replacement Water Filter Cartridge or placing a service call with your local plumbing professional (please refer to your installation manual or replacement instruction card). The scale inhibition feature uses polyphosphates in minute quantities to bind calcium and magnesium hardness minerals, preventing them from precipitating out and building up on metallic surfaces which can reduce flow rates throughout the home’s plumbing system. 1" stainless steel inlet and outlet connections provide easy installation for a plumbing professional and peak flow rates up to 20 gpm to meet the needs of residential applications. The innovative Sanitary Quick Change (SQC) design, an industry first for this application, allows for fast and easy cartridge change-outs without having to contact the filter media or the need for a filter wrench. The AP904 is manufactured with a head assembly that includes an integral mounting bracket. The 304 stainless steel head can be installed on existing copper pipes in the home. It consists of a corrosion resistant material that provides long service life. Tested and verified by manufacturer's laboratory. Replace every 12 months, at 100,000 gallons of use, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow occurs. Review: Improves taste, smell significantly and "softens" water adequately. - I own this and got it installed about 3 weeks ago. I have city water. I did testing beforehand and saw that my tap water was high in alkalinity and calcium. I had a plumber install the full version of this filter that includes the descaler. Plumber had to cut open a hole in my townhouse garage wall. $1,400 for plumber. Great result though with very nice looking piping, very discreet and right up against the wall. The water was immediately noticeably better, after a 5-10 minute flush of the filter. Even though it is just a water conditioner/descaler rather than a softener, it has a significant softening effect. The chrome and glass in my bathrooms have already improved a lot in just a few weeks. I would say the water smells, tastes, and feels 80% better. Super easy to change the filter, so no reason this won't work perfectly for 20+ years. They could possibly even upgrade the replacement filter cartridge design in the future. It did reduce my water pressure 5-10%, not enough to care, but that was probably partially due to the loop in piping my plumber had to make. It does seem like the water pressure has improved a little recently though, so it is possible the descaler has helped increase the diameter of the piping throughout the house by loosening up some of the lime buildup in the pipes. It is most noticeable when just washing your hands. The water has a slightly slippery feel like a water softener, although only about half as slippery. I think water any softer feeling than this would be overkill. My plumber said that his company usually rebrands a nearly identical water filter to this and charges over $1,100 for it, so this is a great deal comparatively. Hard to imagine really needing more filtration or softening than this. I wouldn't waste the water pressure or time or money on a prefilter for this if you have city water; just replace the filter every so often. Over the years, it probably pays for itself at least halfway due to the increased life you get from your water heater, dishwasher, clothes washer, toilets, faucets, and fridge. I rate the overall effect and quality of this product a 9 out of 10. I still use a Brita for my drinking water because I didn't want to just throw it out, and it seems like this filtered water going into your Brita makes your Brita filters last way longer if you still want to use that. Review: Great price, great system, simple solution! - We purchased our new, last, forever home recently and we loved everything about it, except the water smelled horrible. We have always preferred well water, but we didn't remember the water smelling this bad when we inspected the home prior to closing. We tried the activated charcoal shower head filters, but they did very little, if anything and I was beginning to think this was never going to be mitigated. We looked at every method out there and this system looked like the best option, if it would work. The filter changing method is by far the best available, so we settled on the Aqua-Pure. I installed it with CPVC and added added a spin down sediment filter in front. It took about 3 hours to plumb. After finishing late that evening, we checked the shower for smell and it was still there, but not as bad. By the next day it was completely gone and has been that way since. We had to cycle all of the old water out of the water heater before the smell would subside. We have had clean, odor free water for a month now and I can't say enough good things about this product. We'll see how long the filter lasts, but I'm hopefully optimistic that we can get 6 months to a year before a change. Great price, great system, simple solution. Update: 2 1/2 months later and our water is still odorless. I see some low ratings for this product and I believe the premature filter changes are due to not using a sediment filter in front of the AquaPure system. I use a 50 micron spin down filter in front and I have to backwash weekly and swap the reusable filter monthly due to sediment buildup. If I didn't have the spin down in front, I would probably have plugged up the AquaPure by now. 3M CLEARLY RECOMMENDS using a sediment filter in front and I believe I will get the maximum longevity from the AquaPure as a result. When my spin down filter is clean, I have maximum water pressure from my well. Update - August 15th, 2021: We have now been using this filter for 5 months and we have learned much about our well. Our well is 480'+ deep and only has a flow rate of 3gpm. Our previous home had a well not as deep but it had better water flow. We found out the hard way that you can't run a slip and slide for the grandkids without putting a strain on the well. When it gets overused, we see a lot of algae show up in our spin down filter, that is in front of our AquaPure filter. The algae clogs the spin down filter, which is a 50 micron filter, so we have to backwash it multiple times daily to restore optimal water pressure in our home. Our water without filtering is extremely smelly, like bad eggs, but the Aquapure filter removes 100% of the odor. I have seen a lot of people complain that the filter doesn't last long, but I am convinced that is because those individuals didn't use a prefilter on their system. The directions strongly recommend having a pre-filter in front of the Aquapure and I suggest a 50 micron spin down, because we have been going strong for 5 months with our Aquapure and I am amazed it is able to remove every bit of the odor. I believe we will get close to 12 months use from it. I am very pleased with our iSpring 50 micron spin down filter, as well. I will update when it becomes necessary to change the AquaPure. I would give it 6 stars if possible. One additional note. The AP917HD-S, AP917HD and AP910R all are interchangeable with the AquaPure quick change system. I purchased replacement filters, so I would have them when I needed a replacement. I tried the AP910R, because it still says in the description that it had activated carbon filter, but that is not true. The AP910R DOES NOT contain any activated carbon, whereas the AP917HD-S & AP917HD do. The AP910R did not remove any odor from my water, so don't make the same mistake and buy the AP902 system or AP910R replacement filter if you are trying to remove bad odor from your water. ## Features - CLEARLY GREAT WATER: This Whole House Water Filter Reduces Sediment Build-Up, Chlorine Taste And Odor As Well As Scale – Helping To Increase The Life Of Hot Water Heaters And Appliances (Dishwashers, Clothes Washers, Etc). - EASY REPLACEMENT: Revolutionize your water filtration with water filters whole house design, featuring a Sanitary Quick Change (SQC) system with filter life as high as up to 1 year.

Calcium and Magnesium?** A: I live in Las Vegas, NV and we have some of the worse hard water. I've had the water filtration system for almost two years and have used this brand the entire time. You can feel the difference immediately. **Q: Does this filter system remove coliform bacteria?** A: I do not recommend this filter unless you've had your water tested by 3M and they recommend it. I'm a plumbing contractor and I've had serious issues with this filter failing after only a month of use on several occasions (everywhere I've installed it). Water is different everywhere though - getting your water tested is much more reliable in determining whether or not a particular filter is suited to your situation. **Q: Is this suitable for well water? The water has a heavy mineral smell. I want to say it smells like sulphur.** A: If you look up the filter specs you will have all your questions answered. " aqua-pure ap917hd or ap917hd-s "....With well water I would use a less expensive pre-filter to extend the life of the 917.....John **Q: What is the difference between the ap917hd and the ah917hd-s filter?** A: The S version has a scale inhibitor ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Improves taste, smell significantly and "softens" water adequately. *by E***K on July 13, 2024* I own this and got it installed about 3 weeks ago.

Installed 6 months ago. It is a filter, not a softener, and does exactly as listed in the description. We had bad scale and sediment build up, after installation the difference was pretty obvious, but I gave this 6 month to properly give perspective on the product. Installation was easy, if you know how to plumb, otherwise have an experienced plumber do this. Makes sure to write the date and water as shown on your meter to track and know when to change the filter. Granted it is rated for 100k gallons but understand how to convert that to cubit feet so you know. Our town is rural and uses ground water so I suspect I will likely need to change at 75k gallons but I will see when the flow starts to diminish. Swapping the filter is super easy. The easiest filter swap hands down. I do recommend this for folks not wanting to invest in a house softener. ## Frequently Bought Together - 3M Aqua-Pure Whole House Sanitary Quick Change Water Filter System AP904, Reduces Sediment, Chlorine Taste and Odor, and Scale, Heavy Duty, 100,000 Gallon - 3M Aqua-Pure Whole House Scale Inhibition Inline Water System AP430SS, Prevents Scale Build Up On Hot Water Heaters and Boilers - 3M Aqua-Pure 3M FF100 Under Sink Drinking and Cooking Water Filter System, Reduces Lead, Microplastics, Chlorine Taste and Odor, Cysts, Select VOCs. 2.5 GPM Full Flow --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/15700852-3m-aqua-pure-whole-house-sanitary-quick-change-water-filter](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/15700852-3m-aqua-pure-whole-house-sanitary-quick-change-water-filter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
