Good water filter , cartridge can last 2 years will prefilter , only problem I have is with the prefilter , I can’t open it to clean the wire mesh ,the plastic looks too fragile .. I dare not risk it , I just turn the bottom to remove the dirt
I almost bought it, because I loved its small size. However. I saw the buyer reviews on 3M site about the produce, and found that the filter may need to replace every half year. I then canceled the plan for it, and bought a product from a different company instead. I think 3M should have a warranty on the filter's lasting time.
@robbywc I am about to buy this system in combination with their scale prevention system, I have own borewell, so water is hard. Replacing cartridge every 6-8 months is too frequent, also it will cost around 7 - 12K INR as per 3M sales rep. Can you advise which other system did you buy instead of 3M?
Thanks for your informative video Kok Gei. I would like to find out about the sealant tape that you have around the fitting joints in your first installation. Can you give me the link to this product and some information how it works. Thanks
I think I found the answer after searching online. Is it a buteline fitting? It is white colour so I thought it is a tape. Do you have this in your store? Thx anyway
Good guide. Can I know what is your inlet operating pressure and is it possible to know pressure after the filter? My concern is just on the pressure drop.
Hi Kok Gei, I have this 3M filter installed in my condo too. May i know which prefilter diameter is suitable for the 3M AP902 filter? I saw in the link you shared above there are three different prefilter sizes. Thanks.
Hi very good video. Im looking for outdoor filter as well. Other than cost, any benefit compared to other outdoor filter like coway or cuckoo. For 3m i understand that we need to change the filter every year and there is no back flushing and we cannot open the filter to clean it manually i.e every 6 month, etc. Thanks
Yes, you got it right! 3M AP902 is like a one way street filter, which is more efficient in water filtration. However, this will also exhaust the cartridge especially when the incoming water supply is dirty. Perhaps, you can install a pre-filter to prolong it and save cost.
It really depends on the water pressure at your area. For mine, it's sufficient that I don't even install a water pump at the ground level. Mark the date of the replacement cartridge, and check every 3 months. Or you may install a water pre-filter to prolong the life span.
The prefilter can reduce the workload solely on the main filter. Any particles above 50 microns will be screened in the prefilter, and it can be flush off easily and periodically. Thus, extending the life span of the main filter.

The filter's life is greatly dependable on the quality of water. I am currently using this model, and totally understand your concerns.

Can we drink water directly without additional RO or other purification system? After it is processed by this filtration system?
i see your filter is installed outdoors. I would do the same for my situation. It is meant to be outdoors? I am looking for an outdoor water filter.
Thnx so much, Mr. Ang for this filter replacement info. Long time no see.
Most welcome.

Hi thanks for your video, very informative. May I know what pipe is best for this? Is PVC pipe okay? Thanks
yes, you may use PVC pipe.
Hi Kok Gei. Good video. Is the pre filtered useful to you? Like whether it manage to extend the lifespan of the cartridge etc.
Yes, it does.
usefull video as i am considering to buy the AP902. can you give details on the pre-filter & pressure guage seen in your video ?
I found your other video after i wrote this comment. thanks
@@sachinfilinto Thank you. Let me know if you need any other advice.
Good guide. Can I know what is your inlet operating pressure and is it possible to know pressure after the filter? My concern is just on the pressure drop.
Inlet operating pressure may vary based on area. You may install a pressure gauge for monitoring.
Thanks for making this video. Gave me confidence to DIY my replacement.
Btw, what do you suggest we do with the used AP910-R cartridge
Well, so far, there is no trade in offer from 3M water filter :).
@@ATKCeWarehouse May I know how should we dispose the used AP902 cartridge?
@@Elena-ir4vo recycle bin?
@@ATKCeWarehouse so you usually throw it into recycle bin?
Hi Kok Gei, what is the lifespan of 3M AP901 replacement unit?
Can it be last up to 2 years?
It is recommended to replace the cartridge every 12 months. I did install a pre filter to extend the lifespan, for another 3-6 months.
Hi Kok Gei, I have this 3M filter installed in my condo too. May i know which prefilter diameter is suitable for the 3M AP902 filter? I saw in the link you shared above there are three different prefilter sizes. Thanks.
I think the 1" is the best since the nominal size for 3M AP902 is 1" too. This will lessen the number of parts.

Hai it's 3M filter system AP 903 can install at out door? seem the manual user said do not install on direct sun or outdoor
ap 902?
Is there any indicator when to change the filter? What is the normal lifespan?
12months.
AP902 comes with 1" NPT fittings, how to convert to Malaysia standard BSPT?
I believe for the Malaysian market, it has converted into BSP standard. I have installed the same unit at home. No issues.
Hi Mr. Kok Gei, the safety pin quite tight and can't remove the cartridge. Is is ok, I spray the WD40 to safety pin?
Please try this. After closing the incoming valve, open any tap near by at outgoing to release the trapped pressure. This will help!
Thank you Mr. Kok Gei.
@@kafoo2409 Welcome.
i am considering installing a filtration system. with this 3M model how bad is the drop in water pressure?
It really depends on the water pressure at your area. For mine, it's sufficient that I don't even install a water pump at the ground level. Mark the date of the replacement cartridge, and check every 3 months. Or you may install a water pre-filter to prolong the life span.
@@ATKCeWarehouse is it able to filter 1 micron partciles> I am in Kulai. where can I go to find out to install? Thank you.
@@selespeed3 It removes sediments, particulate, sand and rust down to 5 microns (nominal) (10 times finer than a strand of hair)*
@@selespeed3 Just email us at support@ewarehouse.my
Hi sir. Can this filter soften my water? I think my house have hard water which always leave some sort like calcium build up at my shower head
No. But please check out 3M shower filter.
mini.buma.my/ewarehouse/3m
What's the purpose having prefilter if the main filter is capable of filtering much smaller particle?
The prefilter can reduce the workload solely on the main filter. Any particles above 50 microns will be screened in the prefilter, and it can be flush off easily and periodically. Thus, extending the life span of the main filter.
Since 3M Outdoor water filter is a single way and non-backwash water filter, having a prefilter really helps.
@@ATKCeWarehouse thanks for the reply!
@@entalai My pleasure
Any suggestion for 3M filter and catridge, thanks
Hi is there a 3rd party supplier for Coway Bamboo Inner Filter (POE 15A) as i wish to DIY myself
I am not sure on this.
hi sir ,
can you drink that water ?
tnx in advance
Nope, for outdoor water filtration, you can't drink the water directly.
Hi do you have outdoor units for deironized water and what would you recommend
Thanks
No, I don't have this specific product.
If I want to install such system, but with full high quality stainless steel pipe (as I feel not healthy and safe with PVC pipe), possible to be done?
Yes, it is possible.
@@ATKCeWarehouse Have sent such request to your people from your website. Hope to receive respond soon. Thank you :-)
@@yanchengcheok Noted.
@@ATKCeWarehouse Hi, haven't received your reply. Just send a whatsapp to you again. Hope to receive your reply. Thank you.
@@yanchengcheok Hi there, can send me an email instead, support@ewarehouse.my
Can i just use prefilter only?
Pre filter has a filtering between 40-60micron, which is not sufficient to filter off micro size.
Very useful video . TQ
Thank you very much.
Very useful video....👍
Please share to your friends.
How long need to change the filter?
About 12 months, may shorten depending on incoming water quality.
Pl.tell me the cost
Shouldn't it have a pre filter?
Optional
Hi Kok Gei
If I already installed water softener system, can I still install Filter System AP903 next to after water softener?
should not be an issue.
Hi...where to buy the prefilter?
you may refer here www.ewarehouse.my/index.php?route=product/search&search=pre-filter
You didn’t have to exaggerate to make a point. No body drinks that brown water
haha...noted.
