CUNO Improves Industry-leading Home Water Filter Cartridge, AP110 CUNO/3M -- Experts Team Up to Develop One of the Most Efficient Sediment Water Filte
Meriden, Conn. (PRWEB) June 15, 2007 -- CUNO scientists and engineers have teamed up with materials experts from 3M to develop a markedly improved Aqua-Pure AP110 series cartridge for home filtration, featuring Micro-Klean™ XL technology*. The result: 30% longer life and 50% better efficiency than the original model. The new AP110 is one of the longest lasting, most efficient sediment cartridges in the industry.
The new and improved AP110 means cleaner water for longer periods of time resulting in less change-outs (test data available).
"Since the 1950's, the Aqua-Pure AP110, AP111 and AP124 water filter cartridges have helped solve some of the world's toughest residential, commercial and industrial water sediment problems," said CUNO President and General Manager, Tim Carney. "We value our status as innovators and industry leaders and make it a priority to have our cartridge quality reflect our commitment to developing the best products possible."
Cleaner Water and Longer Life.
The new AP110 cartridge is manufactured using a patent pending process to form a progressively complex web of overlapping polymer fibers that entangle and entrap sediment, from larger particles collected at or near the cartridge surface to smaller particles that are captured as water filters through the fiber-dense center. This "progressive porosity" technology is unmatched in the industry for sediment trapping and cartridge life.
"A sediment cartridge's performance is evaluated by cartridge life and efficiency," Keith Solomon, CUNO engineer, said. Cartridge life refers to measuring the amount of contaminant the cartridge is challenged with before reaching a pre-determined differential pressure; Efficiency is the percentage of a particular particle size that is removed by the cartridge, he explained. "We are thrilled to report significant improvement in both cartridge life and efficiency resulting in a 30% extended life coupled with a 50% increase in efficiency."
Better Performance.
One of the trademark features of the original AP110 is its grooved surface, which significantly increases the cartridge surface area, allowing it to hold more dirt on the surface and resulting in increased cartridge life. In fact, the new AP110 cartridges have 132% more surface area than competing smooth, melt-blown cartridges. Improving on the square-groove technology with more and deeper grooves in the cartridge cylinder, the new AP110 has 47% more surface area than the original version.
It has also been enhanced to increase fine particle retention like silt and sand and can now even be used in hot water applications up to 170° F.
In addition, this product serves a special function with well water (where it is used as a pre-filter to a softener system) and sediment-producing water heaters.
The new AP110 will be available for purchase by July 1, 2007. Visit www.aquapure.com to find a distributor near you.
* Micro-Klean™ XL technology is a patent pending process that optimizes depth structure and maximizes outside surface area. Most polymer-based cartridges on the market today have a uniform pore structure which results in less efficiency and/or shorter life. On the other hand, manufacturers attempting to emulate the progressive porosity AP110 structure have discrete density sections that dramatically reduce product life.

Get The Metal Out Of Your Water Alkaline Water Filter
Alkaline water filters are used to remove alkaloids, or metals, from water and for various reasons. Alkaline water filters can be used to purify drinking water, water for cooking or it can even be used in scientific experiments. In fact, alkaline water filters are most commonly used by scientists who fear that alkaloids in the water they are using in their experiments will tamper with their results, allowing for an incorrect reading. That?s because the alkaloids could cause a chemical or electric reaction that may not be favorable to the experiment.
Home water filters: Gives you pure and tasty water
Nature has provided us distinctive planet to live in and our planet ? Earth - is clearly unique from other planets due to the presence of water. Having right distance from Sun and other stars, this allows our planet to have a life supporting environment and water. And it?s true that presence of water will always remain extremely important for life to prosper on Earth. But the major concern is that the condition of pure water is deteriorating day by day due to relentless industrialization. And now to expect pure water from available water resources has become a thing of past.
Countertop Water Filters For Healthy Water
Countertop water filters are a good option for any consumer looking for a quality water filter for their home. Countertop water filters offer easy installation, along with the same quality of filtration as undersink water filters offer. Countertop water filters do not require any installation. You simply set up the countertop water filter where you want it to be located, and then attached to the sink itself. Although countertop water filters are among some of the best filtering system available to consumers, the higher than average price tag that accompanies them may drive some customers away.

Drinking Water Filtration System: Not All Filtered Water Is Safe To Drink
Most water filtration system manufacturers would love to call their purifiers "drinking water filtration systems". While they often can't do that because of various government regulations, they succeeded in convincing us that most water filters are able to produce safe and tasty drinking water. Filtration system manufacturers only concentrate on stating how good their filters are at coping with some contaminants - they don't usually tell us what their filters won't do. And most of them won't do a lot of things.

Shower Water Filters - House Water Filters
Shower water filters are an essential component to any complete home water filtration system. A shower water filter allows you to enjoy a warm and relaxing shower, without the potential risk of exposure to harmful elements found in standard tap water. Chlorine is one of the biggest problems found in normal tap water. If your body is continually exposed to chlorine during a shower, it can lead to problems such as dry skin, irritated eyes or color distortion of the hair. This is due to the fact that chlorine strips the natural protective oils from the skin and hair, which leads to the excess dryness. If the chlorine is filtered out of the water, the skin and hair will greatly benefit. Removing chlorine can also be beneficial for individuals s...
Water Filter Alkalizing Is A Process For Purifying Water Favored By Many Parents
Water filter alkalizing is one of many ways to purify water. By using filters to remove alkaloids, or metals, from water, the water is purified and can then be used for a variety of purposes. The main purpose for water filter alkalizing is so that water can be purified for scientific experiments, where the alkaloids in the untreated water would more than likely skew the results of the experiments. Water filter alkalizing is also used to purify water for drinking, but it?s not as cost effective as the current means of purifying drinking water for mass consumption.
