1. Replacement filters can be purchased directly from Multi-Pure Corporation. The replacement filter model number is CB6.
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 750 gallons for Models MP750SB and MP750SI; capacity of the MP1200EL is 1200 gallons.
3. MP1200EL 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.

II Installing the Faucet
Multi-Pure’s stainless steel 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.
Stainless Steel Faucet: For instructions on installing the Stainless Steel Faucet with tubing attached that was shipped with Model MP750SB, see Section II.B.
Stainless Steel Faucet with Capacity Monitor: For instructions on installing the
MP1200EL 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. Multi-Pure 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.

Multi-Pure Drinking Water Systems that are equipped with a capacity monitor lets you know when the filter should be changed. When you turn on your Multi-Pure 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.
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.

IX 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 Multi-Pure 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.
MP750SB and MP750SI is 750 gallons; capacity for Model MP1200EL is 1200 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 1200 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.
If you have any questions regarding the installation of your Multi-Pure Drinking Water System, please call Multi-Pure's
Customer Relations Department toll-free (800) 622-9206 ext. 175.

XVI Troubleshooting
Problem
Taste/Odor (general)
Rotten egg odor
Odor & odd color on cartridge
“Milky” color in w ater
Flow rate is slow
Water dripping from faucet assembly
Water is black
Cause Remedy
The carbon block filter may become saturated w ith the taste and odors it adsorbs.
Change the filter
Typically a sign of H2S (hydrogen sulfide) gas w hich can occur at any time.
It is recommended that you keep tw o filter cartridges on hand. When one becomes saturated w ith odor, remove it and allow it to dry upside (threaded-hole) dow n on a paper tow el. The sulfur gas w ill dissipate, allow ing the cartridge to be reused. Rotating cartridges in this manner w ill, in some cases, help extend the life of the filter.
Change of filter cartridge is the only recommended course of action.
H2S (hydrogen sulfide) caused by iron
(orange/brow nish), manganese (blackish), and/or decaying organisms (slimy/blotchy colors) can cause rotten egg-type odor.
Higher than normal w ater pressure through the
System w ill create small bubbles. Air bubbles do not effect the performance of the system. Air can be trapped inside the lid of the housing.
Solids: The filter is designed to become restricted in its flow rate w hen the filter becomes clogged w ith particulate and other contaminants. When your w ater flow rate slow s to the point that it is inconvenient to use, it is time to change your filter.
For a countertop installation, turn on the w ater and engage the diverter valve w hile reducing the w ater flow slightly. For a below the sink installation, adjust the w ater pressure at the feedw ater adapter below the sink. Turn on the ledge faucet or diverter valve and let w ater run for 3 to 5 minutes after installation or filter change.
It is recommended that filters be replaced at least every tw elve months or w hen its capacity is reached, w hichever comes first. If w ater pressure is too low , adjust w ater pressure to 60 psi. If other faucets or sprinklers are on turn off other running w ater.
Adjustment of w ater flow is needed.
Below sink units - remove the faucet handle by first removing the spout (pull straight up) and then slide the handle off the faucet base. Then turn the small t-bar about one half turn to tighten the faucet assembly.
Carbon dust Allow w ater to run through the unit to w aste for approximately 20 minutes to flush the filter and charge the carbon.
Maintenance Problems
Flushing / disinfecting the unit housing: Multi-
Pure 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 Multi-Pure 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.

XVII Questions and Answers
Question
Will low pH or acid water affect the Multi-
Pure filter?
Answer
No.
Comments
Mineral components expressed as acidity and alkalinity determine pH. Neutrality is 7; below 7 is acidity; above 7 is alkalinity.
N/A Does deionized water or soft water have any affect on Multi-Pure water?
Can the Multi-Pure System be connected to an automatic ice-maker?
No.
The below sink models can be connected to both your sink and refrigerator, to any type of water dispenser or ice-maker. You can use the same unit installed under your sink to also filter the water at your refrigerator.
Can the Multi-Pure System be used during an emergency or when the water is turned off?
Yes, you can hand pump or siphon water through the Multi-Pure System during an emergency. CAUTION -- the Multi-Pure
System is 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.
To connect a single Drinking Water System to both your sink and refrigerator, request an
"ice-maker tee" on the order form.
If water source is questionably contaminated, it should be disinfected prior to use. Add ¼ tsp of household bleach per gallon of water; the Multi-Pure System will remove this solution from the water. Hand pump kits are available from Multi-Pure.
What causes "white" particles to appear in
Multi-Pure water when it is frozen or boiled?
The natural minerals in the Multi-Pure water solidify when the water is frozen, and those minerals appear as white flakes or specks when the ice melts.
Why does the Multi-Pure System reduce
Volatile Organic Chemicals, but not natural minerals?
Minerals are totally dissolved in solution and do not have an actual physical size; thus, the minerals pass through the filter unchanged.
Natural minerals are beneficial to good health and their existence in drinking water
(in normal quantities) should not cause any alarm. Minerals can be removed by Reverse
Osmosis technology, which is also available from Multi-Pure on request.
The materials used in Multi-Pure Drinking
Water Systems are specially selected for their ability to react with the chemicals in the water, but not with natural minerals that are beneficial to good health.
Should sediment be removed with a standard filter first?
Why is the compressed activated carbon block filtration system more efficient than activated carbon (loose granular) systems?
In areas with excessive sedimentation, prefiltration will help extend the operational efficiency of the Multi-Pure cartridge; however, in most areas this is not necessary.
Multi-Pure's solid carbon block filters are compacted into a dense structure causing every molecule of water to be forced through microscopic pores of carbon, effectively reducing a wide range of contaminants of health concern, as well as adsorbing tastes and odors and removing particulate matter removed by typical activated carbon filters.
The Multi-Pure System contains a triple filter.
The outside material is a prefilter that helps protect the solid carbon block surface from prematurely clogging with large sediment.
The Water Quality Association reports that
"an activated carbon filter can reduce organics and solid particles, as well as offensive tastes and odors." Only precoat and solid carbon block filters are engineered to provide 0.5 micron mechanical filtration.
What is the difference between a "water softener" and the Multi-Pure Drinking
Water System?
Can the Multi-Pure System be used on untreated water?
Softeners are not used to treat drinking water; they are used only to change the water hardness. Softeners put sodium into the water in exchange for magnesium or calcium ions. Multi-Pure Drinking Water
Systems do not remove dissolved minerals, so, the pH is not changed. Natural minerals most often found in water are considered to be essential to good health.
Soft water is good for bathing and laundering and may extend the life of hot water heaters and boilers. However, soft water should not be used for watering plants or lawns. It is recommended that you bypass a water softener when installing your Multi-Pure
Drinking Water System.
If water source is questionable, it should be disinfected prior to use. Add ¼ tsp of household bleach per gallon of water; the
Multi-Pure System will remove this solution from the water. Consult your nearest public water utility for assistance or guidelines on proper treatment of untreated water.
Multi-Pure Systems are designed to be used on treated water systems; they are 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 be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
