N O T E S

1. replacement filters can be purchased directly from Multipure Corporation. The replacement filter model number is CB11as.

The approximate retail price of the replacement filter is also shown above. Price excludes sales tax and shipping and handling fees (prices subject to change without notice).

2. Filter life will vary in proportion to the amount of water used and the level of impurities in the water being processed. replace the filter cartridge when the first of the following occurs: (a) annually; (b) when the unit's rated capacity is reached; (c) the flow rate diminishes; (d) the filter becomes saturated with bad tastes and odors. The rated capacity of the filter cartridge is 600 gallons for Models MP880sB and MP880sI; capacity of the MP880el is 960 gallons.

3. MP880el comes with a capacity monitor that automatically flashes a yellow light when it is time to replace the filter.

4. not intended to be used where the water is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the unit. systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

5. Do not allow water to freeze in the unit. If unit is exposed to freezing temperatures, drain water from unit and remove filter.

6. Do not allow water to sit in unit for extended periods of time (10 or more days) without being used. If unit is to be left unused for more than 10 days, drain all water from the system and remove the filter. upon your return, reconnect the filter in the housing and continue use. In the event water does sit in the unit for 10 or more days, the system should be flushed by allowing water to flow to waste for about 3 minutes; then continue use as normal.

7. To dispose of the used filter, remove it from the housing and place the old filter in your normal refuse. The filter disposed of in a normal landfill will not release any chemical contamination but will probably continue to adsorb additional contaminants that are disposed of in landfills.

8. Check for compliance with state and local laws and regulations.

Installing the Faucet

Multipure’s chrome-plated faucet can be installed through a standard sink hole, if one is available. If you have a hole for a side spray hose on your sink, that hole may be used for your drinking water faucet, eliminating the need to drill a hole for the faucet.

The following instructions are for installing at your sink the special drinking water faucet included with your below sink model. Determine the type of faucet included with your unit and review the instructions for installing your type of faucet.

Faucet: For instructions on installing the faucet with tubing attached that was shipped with Model MP880sB, see section II.B.

Faucet with Capacity Monitor: For instructions on installing the MP880el faucet and

Capacity Monitor, see section II.C.

II.A Drilling the Hole

1. Porcelain Sink, Ceramic Sink, or Cast Acrylic Sink

Note: Porcelain, cast acrylic, and ceramic sink surface materials are extremely hard and can crack or chip quite easily. Use extreme caution when drilling. Multipure Drinking Water Systems accepts no responsibility for consequential damage resulting from the installation of a faucet.

1. select and mark the spot for mounting the faucet on your sink top. a. Confirm that there are no reinforcing ribs under the sink location you select for your faucet.

b. If you have an extra hole in your sink for a rinsing hose, you may want to disconnect that hose and use the existing hole for your drinking water faucet.

2. using the hammer and center punch, make an indentation by tapping the center punch gently on the ceramic/porcelain where the hole is to be drilled.

3. use the ½" carbide tipped masonry drill bit to grind away the porcelain down to the metal, clearing away enough porcelain to allow for drilling a hole without damaging the porcelain surface.

4. Carefully use the 7/16" ( or 1/2”) high speed steel drill bit (CauTIOn: do not allow the 7/16" bit to

"grab" the porcelain - this would damage the porcelain surface) to completely drill a hole through the metal sink.

2.

Stainless Steel or Metal Sink

Mark the spot

Carefully grind away porcelain

You will need to use a 1/8" high speed drill bit in addition to the other tools listed for the installation of a faucet on a stainless steel sink.

1. select and mark the spot for mounting the faucet on your sink. If you have an extra hole for a spray hose at your sink, you may want to disconnect that hose and use the existing hole for your drinking water faucet.

2. using the hammer and center punch, make an indentation where the hole is to be drilled.

3. use the 1/8" high speed steel drill bit to drill a pilot hole.

4. use the 7/16" (or 1/2”) high speed steel drill bit to completely drill a hole through the stainless steel sink.

II.C. Installing Faucet with Capacity Monitor

(continued)

Operation and Maintenance of Models with Capacity Monitor:

Multipure Drinking water systems that are equipped with a capacity monitor let you know when the filter should be changed. when you turn on your Multipure drinking water faucet, and water flows through the capacity monitor, the green light on the capacity indicator plate flashes several times to let you know that the system has not reached its certified capacity. The number of green flashes will decrease as the capacity of your monitor is used. when it flashes just two times, only 20% of your capacity remains; one time indicates only 10% of the capacity remains. It is recommended that you order a replacement filter when you reach the

20% capacity level. a red light will flash alerting you that the capacity of your filter has been fully used and that you should immediately replace the filter. You also will hear an audio alert (buzzer). as with all drinking water treatment devices which reduce certain contaminants by mechanical filtration, the capacity of the filter will vary and is dependent upon type and level of contaminants in your water. It is recommended that a prefilter be installed in front of models with a capacity monitor when used on water with high levels of particulate matter.

It is recommended that you replace the filter cartridge when the first of the following occurs: a) annually; b) the red light flashes on the capacity indicator plate, indicating that the unit's rated capacity has been reached; c) the flow rate diminishes; or d) the filter becomes saturated with bad tastes and odors.

CONNECTING TO YOUR PLUMBING

NOTE:

The type of plumbing in your home will determine how you install your Drinking water system using the adapta

Valve. Included with your Drinking water system is one installation kit, which includes all of the fixtures and accessories to install your Multipure unit below the sink. If you determine that you need fixtures different from those included with your shipment, please contact Multipure's Customer Relations office at 800.622.9206, extension 175.

Adapta Valve Installation

If your residence has a cold water supply line with a 3/8" or 1/2” slip joint connection, you may use the Adapta Valve

(shipped with your unit) to connect your Drinking water system to the plumbing. The adapta Valve assembly (MC920asBl) includes an adapta valve and adapter.

Filter Life

Filter life will vary in proportion to the amount of water used and the level of impurities in the water being processed. Claims of capacity are not applicable to contaminants reduced by mechanical filtration because of broad variations in the quality and quantity of physical matter in your drinking water. Your Multipure filter will clog, protecting you from these contaminants, and your flow rate diminishes. For contaminants reduced by adsorption, filter life/capacity ranges from Model nos.

MP880sB and MP880sI is 600 gallons; capacity for Model MP880el is 960 gallons.

It is recommended that filters be replaced annually or sooner if needed. For optimum performance and to maintain your warranty, it is essential that the filter be replaced on a regularly scheduled basis as follows: (a) annually; (b) when the unit's rated capacity is reached (see Operation and Maintenance specifications, section I); (c) the flow rate diminishes; (d) the filter becomes saturated with bad tastes and odors. when a capacity monitor is installed with its capacity-metered faucet, a yellow light flashes at the rated capacity, which is 960 gallons, indicating when the filter should be changed. It is recommended that the filter be changed when the yellow light flashes, annually, or the flow rate diminishes.

XIII. A r s e n i c F a c t s

(in compliance with nsF/ansI standard) arsenic (abbreviated as) is a naturally occurring contaminant found in many ground waters. 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 Carbon Block 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 Multipure 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 Multipure MP880 system must be replaced as indicated in this Owner's Manual to ensure the system will continue to remove arsenic and other contaminants.

Maintenance Problems

Flushing / disinfecting the unit housing:

Multipure recommends that you not allow water to sit in a unit for extended periods of time without it being used. If a unit is left unused for more than

10 days, it may need to be flushed/disinfected before you resume use.

To flush a unit that may be contaminated:

1. Confirm that water is turned off to the unit.

2. relieve the water pressure (if below sink unit) by opening the unit faucet.

3. remove and discard the used filter.

4. Clean & rinse out the inside of the housing.

5. add 5 to 7 drops of bleach, such as Clorox™ or Purex™ (5 ¼% sodium hypochlorite) to the bottom canister.

6. reconnect the housing top and bottom without the replacement filter.

7. Turn on water and let unit housing fill up with the water/bleach solution.

8. allow unit to soak for at least 30 minutes.

a. Countertop units: To disinfect the spout, place your finger over the tip of the spout and turn the unit upside down. repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times during the 30-minute soak period.

b. Below sink units: To disinfect the faucet spout, remove the spout and place it in a container with one-quart of water and bleach (use 5 drops of bleach) and allow to soak for 30 minutes.

9. after the housing has soaked for 30 minutes, disassemble the top and bottom and pour out the water/bleach solution. rinse out the inside of the housing.

10. replace the filter (cartridge) following the instructions with the new filter.

11. Follow the instructions with the replacement filter for reconnecting and flushing your unit.

Stuck / Sticking Diverter Valve: normally caused by a mineral (calcium) buildup around the diverter stem. There are two methods for solving this problem (Vegetable Oil or Vinegar).

Vegetable Oil (using vegetable oil to lubricate the diverter valve does not dissolve the mineral deposits which build up and cause the sticking; thus it will be necessary to repeat this procedure from time to time)

1. unscrew diverter valve from faucet.

2. Pour a little vegetable oil in the inlet hole.

3. Pull the diverter valve stem in/out several times to lubricate it thoroughly.

4. replace diverter valve on faucet.

Vinegar (using vinegar to dissolve the mineral deposits may cause discoloration)

1. unscrew diverter valve from faucet.

2. soak diverter valve in vinegar for 10 minutes.

3. rinse and replace diverter valve on faucet.

If these methods don’t work, it may be necessary to replace the diverter valve. Please contact Multipure Customer Service at

800.622.9206 for assistance.

Diverter Stem Stuck (If diverter stem is not operating properly - sticking)

1. Disconnect diverter valve from faucet.

2. Push pin in -- if you can push the pin easily, there was air in the tubing.

3. reconnect diverter valve.
