Arsenic in water has no color, taste or odor. It must be measured by a lab test. Public water utilities must have their water tested for arsenic. You can get the results from your water utility. If you have your own well, you can have the water tested. The local health department or the state environmental health agency can provide a list of certified labs. The cost is typically $15 to $30. Information about arsenic in water can be found on the Internet at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency website: www.epa.gov/safewater/arsenic.html. There are two forms of arsenic: pentavalent arsenic (also called As(V), As(+5), and arsenate) and trivalent arsenic (also called As(III), As(+3), and arsenite). In well water, arsenic may be pentavalent, trivalent, or a combination of both. Special sampling procedures are needed for a lab to determine what type and how much of each type of arsenic is in the water. Check with the labs in your area to see if they can provide this type of service. Specially formulated Multi-Pure Solid Carbon Block Water Filter systems are very effective at removing pentavalent arsenic. A free chlorine residual will rapidly convert trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Other water treatment chemicals such as ozone and potassium permanganate will also change trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. A combined chlorine residual (also called chloramine) may not convert all the trivalent arsenic. If you get your water from a public water utility, contact the utility to find out if free chlorine or combined chlorine is used in the water system. The Multi Pure MP880 Models are designed to remove only pentavalent arsenic. It will not convert trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. The system may remove some trivalent arsenic, however, it has not been evaluated for its ability to remove trivalent arsenic. The system was tested in a laboratory to remove pentavalent arsenic. Under lab conditions, as defined in ANSI/NSF Standard 53, the system reduced 0.050 mg/L (ppm) pentavalent arsenic to 0.010 mg/L (ppm) (the U.S. EPA standard for drinking water) or less. The performance of the system may be different at your installation. Have the treated water tested for arsenic to check if the system is working properly. The Carbon Block filter component of the Multi-Pure MP880 water filter system must be replaced as indicated in this Owner's Manual to ensure the system will continue to remove arsenic and other contaminants. MultiPure Drinking Water Filters have been tested and certified under NSF/ANSI Standard Nos. 53 as shown below. The concentration of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 53, Health Effects.

Note: This addresses the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Primary and Secondary Drinking Water Regulations in effect at its time of publication, they relate to Multi-Pure’s performance in conformance to the industry performance criteria. These regulations are continually being updated at the Federal level. Accordingly, this list of MCLs will be reviewed and amended when appropriate. Please see sales brochure for list of product certifications. Notes: 1. Multi-Pure Drinking Water Systems have been certified, as indicated, by NSF International for compliance to NSF/ANSI Standard Nos. 42 & 53. 2. The Multi-Pure Drinking Water Systems have been certified by the State of California Department of Health Services for the reduction of specific contaminants listed herein. 3. Chloroform was used as a surrogate for claims of reduction of VOCs. Multi-Pure Systems tested at >99.8% actual reduction of Chloroform. Percent reduction shown herein reflects the allowable claims for VOCs as per tables in the Standard. 4. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts. 5. Filter life will vary in proportion to the amount of water used and the level of impurities in the water being processed. For optimum performance, it is essential that the filter be replaced on a regularly scheduled basis as follows: (a) annually; (b) when the unit’s rated capacity has been reached; (c) the flow rate diminishes; (d) the filter becomes saturated with bad tastes and odors. 6. Model No. MP1200EL includes a capacity monitor that automatically flashes a yellow light when it is time to replace your filter. 7. Multi-Pure Drinking Water System Housings are warranted for Lifetime (*provided that the filter be replaced at least once a year). All exterior hoses and attachments to the System are warranted for one year. Please see the Owner’s Manual for complete product guarantee and warranty information. 8. Please see the Owner’s Manual for installation instructions and operating procedures. 9. In compliance with New York law, it is recommended that before purchasing a water treatment system, NY residents have their water supply tested to determine their actual water treatment needs. Please compare the capabilities of the Multi-Pure unit with your actual water treatment needs. 10. Check for compliance with state and local laws and regulations. 11. While testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary. 12. The list of substances which the treatment device reduces does not necessarily mean that these substances are present in your tap water.
