The TRUE Infrastructure Revolution

Stop compromising the lifespan of your home's expensive appliances and the health of your family. This 3M Aqua-Pure Whole House System is the ultimate upgrade to your home's infrastructure. It immediately reduces sediment, chlorine taste and odor, and scale throughout your entire house, ensuring clearly great water for every tap, shower, and washing machine.

A Healthy SHIFT Essential

When water quality affects everything, only a whole-house solution works. This system is tested and certified by NSF Standard 42 & 372 and features a durable 304 stainless steel head. This material purity and certification ensure that the device itself won't introduce contaminants while effectively reducing chlorine and scale—the two main culprits behind dry skin, brittle hair, and appliance damage.

Why We Love It

  • Unmatched Appliance Protection

By reducing sediment and scale, the filter significantly extends the life of hot water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines, saving thousands in replacement costs.

  • Effortless Sanitary Quick Change (SQC)

The revolutionary SQC design allows for filter replacement in seconds with a simple twist—no tools, no mess, and no touching the filter media.

  • High Flow Rate & Capacity

Boasts a massive 100,000-gallon capacity and up to 20 GPM flow rate, meeting the high water pressure demands of larger homes without impacting shower flow.

What to Keep in Mind

  • Does Not Filter Complex Toxins

This system is certified to reduce Chlorine and Sediment. For complex contaminants like PFAS or Lead, a dedicated Point-of-Use RO filter is required (refer to our RO Systems).

  • Professional Installation Recommended

Due to the plumbing required for the 1" inlet/outlet connections, professional installation is recommended, unlike simple plug-in countertop units.

  • Requires Annual Filter Replacement

To maintain the 100,000-gallon capacity, the filter cartridge must be replaced once a year (or sooner based on usage) as part of scheduled home maintenance.

Risk Assessment Comparison

3M AP904 System Benefits Point-of-Use Filters / No Filter Drawbacks
Superior Health & Safety Hidden Health Risks
Filters all water entering the home (including shower and cooking), significantly reducing chemical absorption and inhalation of chlorine steam. Only filters water from a single tap or showerhead, leaving the majority of the home's water supply unfiltered and hazardous.
Guaranteed Lifetime Durability Short Lifespan & High Waste
The permanent 304 stainless steel head and long-life cartridges reduce structural waste. Protects all home appliances from sediment damage. Relies on short-lived plastic units that must be discarded, and does not protect appliances from damaging scale buildup.
Best Long-Term Value High Compounding Cost
Saves thousands of dollars by extending the lifespan of major appliances (e.g., water heater) and consolidating filter purchases. The cost of appliance replacement and buying multiple individual filters quickly accumulates, resulting in poor long-term value.
Zero-Waste Commitment Significant Environmental Impact
Consolidates waste into a single annual cartridge and maintains appliance efficiency, reducing energy consumption related to scale buildup. Results in the disposal of multiple individual plastic filter units and increases the energy needed to heat scale-covered water heaters.
Effortless Maintenance Maintenance Headaches
The Sanitary Quick Change (SQC) system allows for tool-free, mess-free filter replacement in seconds. Requires the use of tools, touching dirty media, and managing filter replacement schedules for multiple individual devices.

Conclusion

Your home's infrastructure deserves protection, and your family deserves clean water everywhere. The 3M Aqua-Pure AP904 is the definitive investment in NSF-certified protection, appliance longevity, and effortless maintenance. You are choosing a permanent 304 stainless steel solution that cleanses every drop of water entering your home. Protect your health and your assets. Make The TRUE Shift whole-house today.
