Congratulations on your purchase of this Aqua-Pure® high flow, single housing filtration system. This system is ideal for large homes, restaurants, schools, clubs, farms, camps, and institutions of all types. This system is ideal for locations where flow rates range up to 288 gallons per minute (1,090 lpm).
The all-metal housing is available with AP110, AP117, AP017 or without cartridges and features a single clamp for easy cover removal. An internal center rod with a tightening knob provides quick cartridge changes. All housing internal and external parts are stainless steel with the exception of the gasket which is Nitrile rubber and the Tightening Knob which is Polypropylene.
Design Features:
•Durable corrosion resistant 316L stainless steel construction
•Shouldered seal plates fit solidly into the cartridge core to ensure a positive cartridge seal.
•V-band clamp for quick and easy opening and closing.
•Removable cartridge posts lift out for easy cleaning.
•Housing drains; both sludge and clean chambers have drain couplings for easy draining.
•Air vent allows venting before start-up or draining.
•High flow design accommodates up to 288 gpm (1,090 lpm) flow rate.
•High temperature capacity (up to 250°F [121°C], dependent of filter cartridge used).*
•Manufactured from FDA CFR-21 and/or NSF compliant materials. *Not tested or certified by NSF International

CAUTION: To reduce the risks associated with water leakage, which, if not avoided, may result in property damage — check with your plumbing professional to verify that water pressure is less than 150 psi.
Flow rate is based on a maximum velocity of 8 ft/sec as required by National Standard Plumbing Code for water piping systems. At velocity of 10 ft/sec these values can be increased by 25%.
Filter life will be greater with the 25 and 50 micron cartridges.
Note: Filter housing with more cartridges at a given flow rate can greatly extend cartridge life. Note: Aqua-Pure filter housings may be used with various filter cartridges.
IMPORTANT: Activated carbon filters should not be used on water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
