This American Filter Company AFC-CH-104-9000S is the chloramines-reduction grade replacement cartridge for 3M CFS8110S commercial foodservice installations. The CH designation indicates chloramines-specific filtration — important for the majority of major American municipalities now using chloramines (chlorine + ammonia) instead of pure chlorine for water disinfection.
Standard carbon filters reduce chlorine effectively but pass chloramines through largely unchanged — leaving chloramine-tainted water in foodservice equipment, where the chloramines compound impacts coffee flavor, beverage taste, and ice cube clarity. The CH-grade cartridge contains catalytic carbon media engineered specifically for chloramines reduction in addition to standard chlorine reduction.
For commercial kitchens, coffee shops, and beverage operations in cities using chloramines disinfection (most major American cities), this AFC CH-grade cartridge is the right replacement for 3M CFS8110S installations. USA-made by American Filter Company. “Made in U.S.A.” tagged in the AFC catalog.
