XL7000
This is no ordinary water filtration system. Manufactured by 3M to exceed even the most exacting standards demanded by its A-list beverage industry customers, this multi-stage under sink water filter encapsulated in a single cartridge delivers true bottled water quality. Accommodating up to 2.5 gallons / minute and NSF-rated for 6000 gallon longevity, the XL7000 premium under sink water filter will give your family the highest level of protection and peace of mind by having bottled quality water on demand 24/7/365.
NSF/ANSI Certified for Standard 42, Standard 53, and 401.
How it works
Its patented Integrated Membrane Pre-activated Carbon (I.M.P.A.C.T.) technology combines the efficiency of carbon media with the durability of a microporous membrane in a single cartridge. This reduces pressure and increases flow rate, resulting in longer cartridge life.
Built-in shut-off valve inside the head assembly shuts off the water flow when cartridge is removed or not locked in place.
What's included
System: One head assembly (⅜” inlet / outlet), one cartridge. Fittings are not included – your installer will be the best resource to select.
Cartridge (when it’s time to replace): One cartridge, no need for tools, replace by hand twisting out / twisting in.

- Lead

What our customers are saying...
Excellent product, like the large capacity and the option to be connected to an existing faucet. Works well. Definitely recommend it.
— Jorge C.Agua Mechanics Plumbing & Heating
Have relied on the XL7000 for almost 10 years. Plumber recommended it as top of the line and I have to agree. A cinch to replace. Wish it was cheaper but clean water is a must.

The Q and A explains that it depends on your water when you need to replace the filter. That is very true.
I have had this water filtration in my sink for years.
The pressure never changed and after so many years I decided to replace the original filter.— Jeanette G.
Do not let the price scare you from purchasing this system because of the cost of the filter. It is so worth to have great filtered water for years.
