3M’s new AP2-G filters use 53% less plastic than original AP2 range

15 March 2010

By using less plastic in production, the AP2-G filters from 3M reduce waste and present an environmentally responsible source of quality drinking water

The AP2-G filters from 3M retain the Sanitary Quick Change (SQC) fittings from the AP2 filter range, allowing for a straight swap without having to turn off the water supply. The technology in the AP2-G filters uses a smaller carbon block, matching the flow rate and capacity of the current AP2 filters. This achieves the same micron ratings to remove unwanted components from the water, with an added option of a scale inhibitor. The AP2-G can be recycled by separation into its components.

Features of the AP2-G filters include a chlorine capacity of 4,000 litres, a rated flow rate of 2l/min and a particulate retention level of Cyst or 1 micron.

Katie Gibbs, marketing executive, 3M’s Purification division, said: “Mains-fed water coolers incorporating efficient, high quality filtration represent the most environmentally responsible way to refreshing, clean drinking water in premises such as offices, factories, waiting areas and entertainment venues. 3M’s new AP2-G filter makes an even more convincing case by simultaneously reducing costs for operators and helping businesses to become carbon neutral.”
