3M Aqua-Pure AP430SS Whole House Scale Inhibition Water Treatment/Filtration System. Each

The 3M™ Aqua-Pure™ Whole House Scale Inhibition Water Treatment System AP430SS provides a flow rate of up to 10 gpm (37.9 lpm) when installed with ¾” NPT inlet/outlet connections. Scale is made up of calcium and magnesium mineral deposits that often form when hard water is heated. Water hardness is responsible for most scale formation in pipes, water heaters, finishes, flat surfaces and other water-using appliances. Over time, scale buildup can significantly shorten the life of any water-using appliance. Also, scale buildup inside pipes causes loss of water pressure as the interior gets smaller over time.

Installing this water scale inhibitor on your home’s cold water line can help extend the life of your hot water-using appliances such as water heaters (standard, gas, electric and tankless), boilers, washing machines, dishwashers and plumbing fixtures like faucets, pipes and showerheads.

The AP430SS contains polyphosphates to bind calcium and magnesium hardness minerals, helping to prevent them from precipitating out (or becoming a solid) and building up on metallic surfaces. Polyphosphates also help reduce corrosion by forming a thin protective layer on the metal surface.

The 3M™ Aqua-Pure™ Whole House Scale Inhibition Water Treatment System AP430SS is tested by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material and structural requirements only. The overall single vessel/cartridge design of the AP430SS makes the 3M™ Aqua-Pure™ AP431 Water Filter Cartridge change-out easy for professionals as well as end users. Change the disposable filter cartridge every 6 months or sooner if there is a noticeable reduction in the water flow rate.
