The Leader in Performance
Since 1970, Multi-Pure International has been the market leader in high performance drinking water systems. Only Multi-Pure® Drinking Water Systems are certified to reduce the wide range of contaminants shown herein. Multi-Pure is the industry leader in manufacturing compressed carbon block cartridges and drinking water systems utilizing its technologically advanced filters. Multi-Pure® Drinking Water Systems are backed by unprecedented Lifetime Warranties.

How Multi-Pure’s Solid Carbon Block Filters Work
Multi-Pure produces the most effective carbon block water filters available on the market. When comparing Multi-Pure’s filtration capabilities with other filters, you will find that the performance of Multi-Pure® Drinking Water Systems is superior. Multi-Pure's Solid Carbon Block filters combine mechanical filtration, electrokinetic adsorption, and physical adsorption to provide the most effective contaminant reduction possible.

Contaminants with a physical size are electrokinetically adsorbed as water passes through the pre-filter which acquires a positive molecular charge attracting the negative ions of certain contaminants. Then the water passes through the densely compacted carbon block filter, where direct mechanical interception of particles as small as 0.5 micron occurs.

The compacted carbon block filter has a large surface area for chemical/physical adsorption to take place. With Multi-Pure’s Solid Carbon Block, the water contact time is longer and provides for greater adsorption of many different chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and certain heavy metals.

The formulation of the Multi-Pure® CBAs filters includes a specially developed arsenic adsorbtive media that is blended with the carbons, providing for the reduction of Arsenic V.

The filter is a replaceable cartridge design and easily can be changed. Filters should be replaced annually or sooner, if needed. Filter life will vary in proportion to the amount of water used and the level of impurities in the water being processed.

The most technologically advanced water treatment devices available, Multi-Pure® Drinking Water Systems provide performance that cannot be achieved with other filtration technologies. Simply put, Multi-Pure® provides the best in water filtration!
