Info: Pre-Filter Housing, Sump Wrench, Bracket, Pre-Filters, and Head
Although we no longer carry AP903 Whole House Water System itself, we still have several types of replacement or supplementary parts available for it. These include a Transparent Housing for 1 Micron PreFilters (which can also work with other types of 19-1/2 long filters); a Mounting Bracket, and Sump Wrench for that housing; the Micro-Klean RT 1 Micron PreFilters themselves; and a stainless steel head for the main AP917 filter cartridge for the AP903 whole house system.

Product Notes:
Transparent CFS12T Pre-Filter Housing:
To give a general idea of how these types of housings are installed and how to replace their filters, see this accompanying video for a similar setup from a different brand. Please see the main product photos for a picture of the actual 3M housing next to a 1 Micron RT filter (not included) and a diagram of its dimensions.
This housing is designed to hold slender 19.5" long filters such as the 1 Micron Micro-Klean RT particle prefilters formerly made by a subsidiary of 3M, to extend the life of the main filter in whole house systems like the AP903 (otherwise the high level of particulates in some water supplies will plug it up sooner; by installing this pre-filter housing before it and replacing the prefilters every few months, the life of the AP903 should be one full year).
However, it can also be used as a stand-alone unit for commercial applications such as for Coffee and Hot Tea Water Filtration, Foodservice Point of Entry Filtration, or Ice Machine Water Filtration, to hold 3M's newer line of drop-in replacement cartridges: models CFS8504-B, CFS110, CFS124, CFS420IMF, CFS2502, CFS2507, CFSFSR-5, CFSFSR-10, CFS117, CFS117-S (which also encompass chlorine taste and odor reduction filters, depending on your needs).
The sides of the CFS12T housing are transparent to enable you to see how dirty/saturated the filter becomes over time. This unit is designed to operate between 40 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit (4.4 - 37.8 C); its dimensions are: 4-9/16" Wide by 23-3/8" Long.
Please note, this CFS12T prefilter housing itself does not come equipped with a filter, nor a bracket to hold it against a wall or pillar, nor a wrench to open it to exchange filters; those are each available here separately.
Sump Wrench
This 8-1/2" long, 4" diameter tool pictured above is for opening up the CFS12T Filter Housing.
Mounting Bracket for CFS-12T
A 4-1/2 inch wide bracket with holes in its 3-3/3" long sides which match up with the openings for the pipes on either side of the top of the CFS12T Pre-Filter Housing, which comes with two screws and drywall anchors to secure the housing onto a wall or pillar near your your water intake.
1 Micron Micro-Klean RT PreFilter (RT19Y16G20NN)
These 19-1/2" long, 2-5/16" diameter, Double Open End, No Gasket (with a flat top and bottom) depth filter cartridges are made entirely of polypropylene to provide consistent and efficient particle reduction, increased surface life, and a low initial drop in pressure.
This material complies with food and beverage regulations for use in potable water applications, and the filter is made without adhesives, binders, surfactants or lubricants, and is grooved to provide more surface area to increase its life and how much it captures.
The rigid, sturdy construction of these cartridges enables them to withstand and continue to function properly in the presence of water pressure variations, and because their material was extruded continuously during their manufacture, there are no bond joints to break.
These filters are available either singly or in groups of three (for a discount). If you would like even more than three, please contact us for a price quotation.
The Model AP903 single cartridge water filtration system by 3M Aqua-Pure helps provide consistent high quality water for whole house filtration at an impressive flow rate up to 20 gpm, which is ideal for larger homes and light commercial applications. In regions where there are a lot of particulates in the water, the AP903's replaceable filter cartridge will not last a full year, so should be accompanied / preceded by a pre-filter housing and pre-filter.
The strong and durable 304 Stainless Steel Head for the Aqua-Pure Model AP903 is made from a corrosion resistant material. It enables a fast change of the cartridge and a "sweat in place" installation without the need of a filter wrench, thanks to its Sanitary Quick Change (SQC) design, with its die cast zinc anti-rotation collar and locking latch. We have one brand new extra head in stock, like the one pictured in the main product photo and this video (but without the accompanying cartridge), and one which was disassembled from a display model (please contact us for details for pricing on the latter).
Unfortunately, due to their size and weight, some of these items will not qualify for free shipping; our Shipping Department will follow-up with a quote before proceeding with the order.
