This American Filter Company AFC-APH-104-9000S is the USA-made replacement cartridge for 3M / Cuno HF-series commercial foodservice water filter housings — the standard cartridge type used in coffee shops, restaurants, ice machines, and beverage equipment installations across America. The cartridge fits the OEM housing without modification and delivers equivalent filtration at a fraction of the OEM cartridge price.
Premium USA-sourced coconut shell activated carbon block construction provides reliable chlorine, taste, and odor reduction at the high flow rates commercial foodservice operations require. The carbon block format outperforms loose granular carbon on both contact time and consistency — meaning the cartridge’s last gallon of filtered water performs the same as the first.
For commercial kitchens, coffee shops, and small foodservice operations running 3M / Cuno HF-series filters, this AFC cartridge is the right USA-made replacement. American Filter Company manufactures the cartridges in the United States, with their catalog explicitly tagged “Made in U.S.A.” on the company website.
