PERCOLA AP917HD-S Water Filter Cartridge for 3M Aqua-Pure AP904 System

Overview

The PERCOLA AP917HD-S Water Filter Cartridge is engineered to pair with the 3M Aqua-Pure AP904 System, offering a straightforward upgrade for sediment, scale, and taste/odor concerns across a whole-home setup. With a filtration capacity up to 100,000 gallons, this 1-pack cartridge is designed to support steady performance in daily household use while helping reduce mineral buildup in appliances and plumbing over time.

Triple-Stage Filtration for everyday water quality

Smart filtration begins with a robust barrier. The first stage uses non-woven media to capture larger particles, while the second stage features a pleated sub-micron membrane that targets finer particles down to 5 microns. The final stage employs a carbon block to soften chlorine taste and odors and reduce select VOCs, contributing to a more neutral, everyday water experience.

• Stage 1: non-woven media captures larger particles for initial protection.
• Stage 2: pleated sub-micron membrane reduces particles as small as 5 microns for clearer water.
• Stage 3: carbon block lowers chlorine taste/odor and targets select VOCs.

Build quality you can rely on

The cartridge features a 1/4-inch plastic housing, two layers of pleated media, and an approximately 1-inch activated carbon core. It also includes scale-inhibitor media to help reduce mineral buildup in water heaters, pipes, and appliances, supporting smoother operation over time.

Easy to install and maintain

• Sanitary Quick Change (SQC) design enables fast quarter-turn cartridge swaps without touching media.
• Designed to maintain steady water flow, up to 10 gallons per minute, helping preserve faucet pressure.

Capacity, replacement, and real-world usage

For best results, replace on a schedule aligned with your usage: typically every 12 months, or sooner if you notice reduced flow. Real-life life depends on incoming water quality and household demand.

Compatibility and home benefits

As a 1-pack cartridge, it integrates with the AP904 Whole House Large Diameter System, delivering sediment filtration, scale control, and taste/odor improvements across the home. While results can vary, many users notice clearer water and a more pleasant tap-water feel.
