3M Aqua-Pure Whole House Sanitary Quick Change Replacement Water Filter AP917HD, For Aqua-Pure System AP903, Reduces Sediment, Chlorine Taste and Odor

Best whole house filter. Works amazing with my well water. Filters out the rust and hard minerals. Our water was never palatable till we installed this filter, now it tastes great.

I have been using this for 18 months now. I have a well with heavy sediment content and a strong "swamp" smell. First step is a Rusco spin down filter with a 500 mesh that I have to clean once per month or two, then the pressure tank, then the Aqua Pure. The water is clean with absolutely no sediment, no smell and no taste. The pressure does not seem to be an issue, the tank is set at 70ppg. I have pressure assisted toilets that are one story up and 30 ft from source that function fine. The pipe plumbing is not the best 1/2 inch PEX with no manifolds. (Yikes) So the story on this is good pressure transference, adequate life (may turn out excellent) and does the job of cleaning water.

I absolutely love the 3M Aqua-Pure Whole House Water Filter! The quick change filter design is amazing and makes maintenance a breeze. The genuine replacement filter AP917HD works wonders in reducing chlorine, taste, odor, sediment, dirt, and rust. I highly recommend this system for anyone looking to enjoy clean and great-tasting water throughout their home.

The filter is easy to install /change and works very well. Lasts just over a year before it needs changing

BATAVIA – Once again, Aurora has taken the crown when it comes to its drinking water. A panel of three judges decided that Aurora had the best drinking water based on taste, odor and clarity during the Kane County Water Association’s annual water-tasting contest Thursday at Lincoln Inn Banquets in Batavia. This is the fifth time Aurora has won the contest, the most of any community in Kane County. Montgomery won last year. The award has been presented since 1997. Those in charge of the city’s water production did not take the honor lightly. Aurora’s drinking water is a blend of well water and Fox River water. “We have a well-run plan and an excellent staff,” said Bob Leible, assistant superintendent of water production for Aurora. “You certainly don’t want your customers to be disappointed with the water that comes out of the tap.” Before Thursday’s win, the last time Aurora had taken the award was in 2008. Aurora now will compete in the state competition next year. “It is a little bit of bragging rights between the communities,” Leible said. Aurora, along with Batavia, Geneva, St. Charles, North Aurora, Sugar Grove, Montgomery, Yorkville and Elgin, participated in this year’s contest. On the panel of judges was Kane County Sheriff Pat Perez. The samples from each community were submitted in unmarked beakers so judges did not know whose water they were drinking. Perez said he found the task difficult as he sniffed and carefully eyed the beakers of water. All that great tasting water is filtered through this great filter. We have had this filter system for 2 years and replace the filter annually as the water flow starts decreasing after 10 months of use. We have 3 adults and 1 child using this filter.
