This American Filter Company AFC-EPH-104-9000S is the USA-made replacement cartridge for the 3M Cuno CFS-9000 commercial foodservice water filter — used in high-end coffee shops, restaurant beverage systems, ice machine installations, and commercial kitchen drinking water systems. The cartridge fits the OEM housing and delivers equivalent filtration at significant cost savings.
Premium USA-sourced coconut shell activated carbon block reduces chlorine taste, odor, and organic compounds at the high flow rates commercial foodservice operations require. The carbon block format outperforms loose granular carbon on both contact time and consistency across the cartridge’s operating capacity — meaning the last gallon of filtered water tastes as good as the first.
For commercial kitchens running 3M Cuno CFS-9000 installations, this AFC replacement is the cost-effective USA-made alternative. The AFC EPH-104 designation indicates the high-capacity grade — sized for the typical 6-month to 1-year replacement cycle in commercial use. American Filter Company manufactures all cartridges in the United States.
