3M™ Water Filtration Products High Flow Series uses revolutionary Integrated Membrane
Pre-Activated Carbon Technology (“IMPACT”) for superior cartridge life and economy.
A single filter can accomplish what was previously the job of a three- or four-cartridge
system.
The “IMPACT” media package combines a patented
pharmaceutical-grade microporous membrane and a
pre-activated carbon block in a single cartridge to
dramatically reduce pressure drop and practically
eliminate the need for pre-filtration. The integrated membrane provides supe-
rior sediment holding capabilities while reducing Cryptosporidium and Giardia
cysts

and over 99.99 percent of all water-borne bacteria.

The polycarbon block
releases virtually no carbon fines. Pre-activation of the carbon media is not
required.
Reduce scale formation, cysts, bacteria, sediment, and chlorine taste and odor with convenience and superior perfor-
mance. Stop wasting time and money on messy sump systems. By creating a single cartridge system that delivers over
864,000 8-oz cups of coffee, 432,000 16-oz soft drinks (in a 22-oz cup), or 216,000 pounds of ice (25 gallons at 100
lbs of ice) at a flow of up to 5 gallons per minute (gpm), 3M Water Filtration
Products deliver Recipe Quality Water™ while reducing filtration costs.
Two-Zone Membrane
Large particles are captured in the top zone and smaller particles in the bottom
zone of the graded density microporous nylon membrane, providing supe-
rior cartridge sediment-holding
capacity.
Surface Area
Enhanced High Flow filters have nearly 6 times the surface area for
improved sediment filtration, reduced pressure drop and longer car-
tridge life.
Cartridge Throughput
New Enhanced High Flow cartridges with Integrated Membrane Pre-
Activated Carbon Technology (“IMPACT”) show higher throughputs and
longer lifetimes. ln side-to-side tests conducted with a surrogate plugging
agent to a 25% loss in flow rate, a single HF90 cartridge averaged over 4.5
times the sediment holding capacity of competitive cartridges.
