3M Purification
History of 3M
Founded in 1902 as the Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Company.
5 business men agreed to mine a mineral deposit for grinding-wheel abrasives in Minnesota.
But the deposits proved to be of little value and 3M almost went
bankrupt.
That was just the beginning….• The world’s first water-proof sandpaper in the 1920s• The Masking Tape in 1925• Scotchgard™ Fabric Protector, videotape, Scotch-Brite™ Cleaning Pads in the
1950s • The Post-it® Notes in the 1980s.• The 3M Innovation story continued for more than 100 years.
In 2004, 3M sales topped $20 billion for the first time.
12 years later, 3M’s first flagship product
Three-M-ite™ Abrasive Cloth.
1n 1916, the company paid it’s first dividend – 6 cents a share.

Water Basics – Chemical Properties
Hardness
Visual Indicators of hard water:
• unsightly soap scum and rings
• spots and streaks on glassware and
dishes
• cloudiness and sediment in
beverages
• wastes soap and detergents
• forms scale in the pipes of hot water
using appliances and could
eventually plug pipes

3M Purification
Water Basics – Chemical Properties
Hardness / Scale
• Scale forms when water is
heated, or changes phase
(i.e. frozen)
• Scale is the precipitation of
calcium and magnesium
minerals.
• Scale may coat the interior
surfaces of pipes, water
heaters and water using
appliances.

Effects of Hard water on Equipments
1. White Scales on expensive Sanitary Fittings2. Clogged/Rusted Pipes, Taps, Showers3. Loss of water pressure4. Lower life span of hot water using appliances:
Geysers, Water heaters, Washing Machines5. Regular repairs6. Irreversible damage to expensive equipments7. Regular need of maintenance8. Corrosion9. High Power Consumption10. Ugly looking equipments over a period of time
Damaged Geyser
heating element
Scale Clogged & Rusted Pipes, Showers
11
3M PurificationDry Skin & wrinkles
Hard water not only
clogs the skin
pores but also rips
if off its essential
oils. This can leave
the skin feeling dry
and scaly which
over a period of
time leads to
premature aging
(wrinkles).
12
3M Purification
Hairfall
Hard water
produces an excess
filmy shampoo
residue on hair
which can leave it
looking dull and
limp. Also blockage
of pores on scalp
usually causes
hairfall.
13
3M Purification
Clogged ShowerSediments & scales are
the biggest enemies of
any faucet/shower head.
Over a period of time
these choke and become
dysfunctional due to
clogging of their holes
and become green and
unsightly due to the scale
build-up.
14
3M Purification
Scaled dishes
The minerals in hard
water, such as calcium
and magnesium, cause
unsightly stains to form
on the dishes. The lime
scaling hardens with time,
making it harder to
remove the unwanted
rings and spots.
15
3M Purification
Rusted Sinks/baths
Hard water from the pipes
causes scale and lime to build
up on sinks, forming an ugly,
solid, brown, white or grayish
crust. In addition to being
unattractive, the concentration
of dissolved minerals can pit
and eat into the sinks causing
permanent damage.
16
3M Purification
Decreases the life of the
machines & of the clothes
Certain minerals in the hard
water interact with the soap or
detergent, which keep it from
interacting with soils, stains and
other dirt on clothes making it
less effective. The life of these
clothes are reduced too.
Also, it causes scale formation
on the metal element in the
machine which increases the
energy consumption manifolds.
17
3M Purification
Geyser bills less
Hard water forms a layer of
scale build-up in the Geyser
tanks and electrical elements.
The scale build up reduces heat
transfer and increases power
consumption. The scale build-
up may increase energy bills by
up to 25%

●Should pose no problem
5 and 40 ●Can only be seen with microscope
●Can damage seals, and washers
●High concentrations make water turbid

●May block faucet screens
●May damage faucets, and water using appliances
● Goal is to capture and retain
particles
● By reducing excessive
particles: Improve appearance and visual
clarity of a product
Improve equipment protection
Improve the safety by reducing
the amount of micro-
organisms.
● AP141T has 5 micron
progressive porosity cartridge (
AP420)Largest pores upstream and smallest pores downstream.
Layers of increasingly finer pores help to trap particles
within the filter as well as on the surface.

Scale Inhibitors
• Slow dissolving food grade crystals which add chemistry to the water supply.
• Sequestering polyphosphates combine with dissolved cations (Ca & Mg) inhibiting
scale formation.
• Colorless, tasteless, and odorless.
• Adding silicates coats piping and metal fixtures reducing oxidation and scale
crystallization for corrosion control.

Less Scale Build-Up means1. Water Using appliance can have increased life
2. Water using appliances can have fewer
repairs.
3. Decrease equipment down-time
4. Less Pressure drop due to clogged pipes
5. Water Heaters can operate more efficiently,
resulting in lower utility bills. A 1/8” build up
of scale can increase power costs by up 27%.
6. Protect Overhead tanks, downstream piping
and plumbing from sediment

This is to place on record the excellent service rendered to us in
purchasing and installing two 3M water filters for my home at
Malleswaram. To a very large extent the water purity problems at home
have been solved. My family is happy as well. i have recommended your
company to a couple of people in my building as well and they will contact
you shortly.
Thank you again for all your help in educating us on the filtration process
as well.
Best Wishes.
