For sub-micron filtration in commercial beverage equipment, the Puretec CC-QAP8R serves as an aftermarket compatible replacement cartridge. It replaces 3M Aqua-Pure AP8000 (AP8112), IBC A112-SQC, and Comcater CCE105 filter models. It connects directly into existing sanitary quick-change filter head brackets without mounting adaptations.
Formed with a high-impact polymer pressure canister, the physical size measures 12 inches in length. The internal core features a high-density activated carbon block designed for municipal mains lines. The complete unit weighs 0.58 kg and operates in liquid temperatures from 2°C up to 55°C.
This compatible beverage cartridge operates under rated pressure limits of 68 to 520 kPa to match commercial municipal lines. It is rated at a nominal micron rating of 0.5 micron to capture fine sediment, sand, rust, and parasitic cysts. It is specified for an active capacity of 11,300 Litres of chlorine reduction.
The sanitary quick-change twist connection arrangement seals against the existing head assembly. It complies with Australian plumbing regulations under AS/NZS 3497 licence number WM 74617. The high-density carbon block uses fine pore distribution to reduce volatile organic compounds and standard water disinfectants. It requires regular cartridge swaps.
