Incoming Water | The source water you use in your process is not ready for prime time when it comes into your facility. It needs to be filtered to remove particles or treated to prepare it for use. The type and level of filtration needed depends on the source of your water. 3M’s filtration products help provide the particle reduction needed to deliver the high-quality water needed for machining and metal working, and parts washing.
