Solid Carbon Block Filter Technology

Considered to be the most effective method for reducing contaminants of health concern - such as cysts, turbidity, microscopic organisms, chlorine, lead, asbestos, certain pesticides, trihalomethanes, volatile organic chemicals, etc. - Multi-Pure's Solid Carbon Block filters have been tested and certified by NSF International under its NSF/ANSI Standard No. 53, Health Effects, as well as NSF/ANSI Standard No. 42, Aesthetic Effects.

The carbon is compacted into a dense structure causing every molecule of water to be forced thorough microscopic pores of carbon (rather than flowing around the granules of carbon), thus effectively reducing a wide range of pollutants.  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; and it does not add salt or silver to the water.  The solid carbon block filter is a replaceable cartridge designed so that the water flow rate decreases indicating the need for replacement.

Multi-Pure's Competitive Edge

The superior performance of Multi-Pure's filters and Drinking Water Systems gives its products competitive edge over the competition.  The Multi-Pure technology offers superior effectiveness in reducing contaminants of health concern, and many of its products have been tested and certified by NSF International for the reduction of the widest range of contaminants.

In addition to its NSF Listings, Multi-Pure Drinking Water Systems have been listed, certified and/or registered by the following:

  • NSF International

  • California Department of Health Services

  • Iowa Department of Public Health

  • Wisconsin Bureau of Building Systems

There are hundreds of companies that sell drinking water systems for the treatment of various contaminants. Although most companies make devices that can remove chlorine from water, only thirty-eight (38) of those companies offer drinking water treatment systems that are certified by NSF to reduce Trihalomethanes (a disinfection by-product known to cause cancer in humans and miscarriages) under NSF's Standard No. 53, Health Effects (April, 2006 Listings). And, only two companies have devices certified by NSF to reduce PCBs. Multi-Pure Drinking Water Systems offers products certified to reduce MTBE, a gasoline additive classified as a possible human carcinogen, which has been found in drinking water coast-to-coast.

Multi-Pure Drinking Water Systems' goal is to produce the highest quality filters and water treatment devices that will solve the most common drinking water problems for customers throughout the world.  It has the organization and ability to respond quickly and effectively to the specific requirements of its customers.  A true measure of performance is the number of long-lasting customer relationships built over the years.
