MultiPure uses a solid carbon block water filter manufactured from coconut carbon, a
renewable resource, the very best carbon for water filtration, that is considered to be
the most effective method for reducing a wide range of contaminants of health concern,
which may be present in the water.
The carbon is compacted into a dense structure, causing every molecule of water to be
forced through microscopic pores of carbon, effectively reducing pollutants.
The MultiPure Solid Carbon Block Water Filter is a replaceable cartridge designed so that
it can be easily changed.
Some additional advantages of the Solid Carbon Block Filter are that it does not waste water,
there is no electricity required, it does not remove essential trace minerals that are
beneficial to good health, it does not add salt or silver to the water; and it provides fresh,
delicious, healthy drinking water.
How the Filter Works - Multi-Pure Drinking Water Systems’ replaceable triple-action filter
has been formulated using materials that will provide the highest quality drinking water
without removing the healthful, natural minerals.
Multi-Pure's carbon block filters combine mechanical filtration, electrokinetic adsorption,
and physical adsorption to provide the most effective contaminant reduction possible.
The effectiveness of any drinking water treatment device is measured by the performance
of its filter. Multi-Pure provides the best in water filtration!
Multi-Pure Water Filters are easy and convenient to use and provide delicious, clear, and
healthier drinking water whenever you need it. These models use the exclusive three-stage,
solid carbon block water filter...
Filters are easy to replace and all units include hardware and materials needed for
installation.
How the Filter Works
Multi-Pure Drinking Water Systems’ replaceable triple-action filter has been formulated
using materials that will provide the highest quality drinking water without removing the
healthful, natural minerals.
Multi-Pure's carbon block filters combine mechanical filtration, electrokinetic adsorption,
and physical adsorption to provide the most effective contaminant reduction possible.
Mechanical Filtration: The filtration process begins with water passing through a graded
density 5-micron pre-filter that traps dirt, sand, and particles that affect the taste, odor,
and overall appearance of your water.
Then the water passes through the highly compacted solid carbon block where direct
mechanical interception of particles as small as 0.5 micron occurs. Asbestos, cysts, and
turbidity are reduced through mechanical filtration at the sub-micron level. Electrokinetic
Adsorption: The graded density prefilter acquires a positive molecular charge as water
passes through it. Since most colloidal contaminants exhibit a negative charge in
solution, the media fibers will electrokinetically attract charged colloidal particles too
small for removal by mechanical straining.
Physical Adsorption: Multi-Pure’s highly compacted carbon block water filter media is a
blend of selected activated carbons made from coconut carbon, a renewable resource,
and other materials that reduce aesthetic contaminants and health-related contaminants.
Only carbons are selected with a high surface area and high retentivity characteristics.
The materials are formed into a carbon block, which is densely compacted to provide
longer contact time and outstanding performance that cannot be achieved with other
filtration technologies.
Multi-Pure’s solid carbon block water filters effectively adsorb contaminants with health
significance, including chlordane, lead, mercury, MTBE, PCBs, Toxaphene, and VOCs,
plus aesthetic contaminants such as chlorine and chloramine. The solid carbon block
water filter is engineered so that contaminants removed by mechanical filtration will
cause the flow rate to decrease, and the filter will clog. It is recommended that the
filter be replaced when the first of the following occurs: (a) annually; (b) the unit's
rated capacity is reached; (c) the flow rate diminishes; (d) the filter becomes saturated
with bad tastes and odors.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why Do Multi-Pure® products cost more than other water filter systems?
All drinking water filtration systems are not created equal.
Quite simply, Multi-Pure® offers a superior product, and it costs more to manufacture and distribute
a higher performance product. There are many drinking water system choices available to you, and
at first glance they may seem comparable. But they are not. Even among companies employing solid
carbon block technology in their products, they do not match the proven performance of Multi-Pure®
products. Superior performance equates to a better value for you over the life the product,
and it gives you the peace of mind and satisfaction of knowing you are making a safe choice.

Yes, you can hand pump or siphon water through the Multi-Pure® unit during an emergency situation.
Complete instructions are available from Multi-Pure®.
7. Can the Multi-Pure® Drinking Water System be connected to an automatic ice-maker?
Yes. Two of the Multi-Pure® Drinking Water System models MP750SI and MP880SI are designed for
just such inline applications. Additionally, using a T-connector not provided with the product, the under
counter models MP750SB MP880SB or MP1200EL also can be connected to any type of water dispenser
or ice-maker.
8. Does the system remove the natural, healthy trace minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and
potassium?
No, Multi-Pure® Drinking Water Systems leave in the healthy, naturally occurring minerals.
9. Why did Multi-Pure® design the filter to take out contaminants like VOCs but not the natural
minerals?
Minerals are totally dissolved in solution and do not have an actual physical size; thus, the minerals pass
through the filter unchanged. The materials used in Multi-Pure® Drinking Water are specially selected for
their ability to react with the chemicals in the water but not with natural minerals. The ability to leave the
natural, healthy minerals in while reducing harmful contaminants was a vital factor in the development
of Multi-Pure®'s solid carbon block filter. The medical community has always maintained that certain
minerals were essential for a healthy body, and a recent study in the Journal of the American Dietetic
Association found that drinking water with high levels of beneficial, healthful minerals may reduce the
risk of heart disease.
10. If the unit does not remove minerals, how does it take out lead?
Multi-Pure® was able to devise a solid carbon block filter whereby certain dissolved impurities, such as
Lead and chemicals, are adsorbed to the carbon surface by chemical reaction and adsorption.
Adsorption (as opposed to absorption) is defined as "the adhesion in a thin layer of molecules to the surface
of solid bodies with which they are in contact" (Webster's Collegiate Dictionary). Thus the solid carbon block
can be analogized to a magnet that metal shavings (Lead, in the analogy) adhere to.
11. If a filter can take out Chlorine, can it also take out Trihalomethanes (disinfection by-products)?
Multi-Pure® Drinking Water Systems have been tested and certified to reduce Chlorine and Trihalomethanes.
However, not all filters certified to reduce Chlorine can reduce Trihalomethanes (although some disreputable
companies would have you believe so!). Chlorine is a substance that is relatively easy to remove.
But, chlorine that has interacted with organic material to form Trihalomethanes (thus having a completely
different molecular structure) is extremely difficult to remove. Consumers must check with the NSF or their
state health department if that state certifies units to see if the filter is certified for Trihalomethanes or
VOC reduction.
12. How often do the filters need to be changed?
Filter life will vary in direct proportion to the amount of water used and the type and level of impurities in
the water being processed. It is recommended that the filter be replaced when the first of the following
occurs: (a) the unit's rated capacity is reached; (b) annually; (c) the flow rate diminishes (which occurs
when the filter becomes clogged with particulate matter); or (d) the filter becomes saturated with bad
tastes and odors. The filters can not be back flushed or rinsed and used again. Even if your filter is still
white and the flow rate is still high, according to EPA and state health department guidelines, filters should
always be replaced at least once a year, regardless of capacity.
13. Can hot water be run through the filter?
The biggest problem with hot water is the sloughing off of chemicals/compounds which had been adsorbed.
The heat causes the carbon pores to open up. which could result in lead or chemicals being released into
the water. And, the carbon would not effectively reduce contaminants in the water. Hot water is usually
under 212 degrees, and that isn't hot enough to alter the raw materials, so there wouldn't be any damage
to the filter itself. If someone does run hot water through the filter, they should immediately run cold water
through until the filter cools and then flush the filter for about 3 minutes. The filter then will again perform
effectively. And, don't drink the hot water.
14. If I leave on vacation, do I have to disconnect my filter?
Do not allow water to sit in the unit for extended periods of time (10 or more days) without being used.
If the unit is to be left unused for more than 10 days, drain all the water from the system and remove the
filter. Upon your return reconnect the filter in the housing and continue use.
