This American Filter Company AFC-EPH-104-9000 is the USA-made replacement for 3M Cuno CFS-series commercial foodservice water filter installations. The EPH extra-premium grade designation indicates top-tier construction with enhanced contaminant reduction beyond basic chlorine and taste, sized for the highest-volume commercial applications where premium filtration directly impacts beverage and food quality.
Premium USA-sourced coconut shell activated carbon block construction handles the heavy-duty filtration demands of major coffee chains, restaurant beverage operations, and high-traffic commercial kitchens running 3M Cuno CFS installations. The 9000 designation indicates 9,000 gallon-rated capacity for typical service intervals.
3M Cuno was acquired by 3M in 2008 and remains one of the dominant foodservice water filtration brands in North America. Buying AFC compatible cartridges instead of OEM cuts cartridge replacement costs significantly while maintaining the same Made in U.S.A. quality the AFC catalog tags throughout. American Filter Company manufactures in the United States.
