Arsenic Undersink Water Filter - Under Sink Water Filters for arsenic
Arsenic undersink water filter.The most technologically advanced water treatment devices available, providing the BEST in performance - reduces all of the contaminants that the other Multi-Pure Drinking Water Systems do, PLUS ARSENIC! The MP880EL comes with its own capacity- metered faucet that increases the filter life to approximately 960 gallons. May be connected to icemaker or other device by using a tee. Stainless Steel housing with round bottom. Replacement filter model CB11As.
NSF Certifies First Drinking Water System for Arsenic ReductionFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Go to top of page) NSF International (www.nsf.org), The Public Health and Safety Company™, is pleased to announce certification of Multi-Pure Corporation's drinking water systems for pentavalent arsenic reduction. Multi-Pure's drinking water systems are the first systems to be NSF Certified under NSF/ANSI Standard 53: Drinking water treatment units - Health effects since the pentavalent arsenic reduction claim was added to the standard. NSF/ANSI Standard 53 covers point-of-use and point-of-entry systems designed to reduce specific health related contaminants that may be present in drinking water. The pentavalent arsenic reduction claim was added to the standard in response to industry, regulatory and consumer demand for water treatment devices to meet the new U.S. EPA standard for arsenic in drinking water. The NSF Drinking Water Treatment Unit Certification Program conducts testing according to national standards to verify contaminant reduction claims, product structural integrity and material safety through material formulation reviews and extraction testing. The program conducts label and other product literature reviews to verify conformance to the requirements of the Standard. In addition, periodic product retesting and unannounced production facility audits ensure drinking water systems continue to meet NSF/ANSI Standard 53 requirements. "Arsenic is a health contaminant of significant concern for many consumers across the country and around the world," said Mark Jost, Senior Vice President, Water Systems. "Certification of products like those available from Multi-Pure gives the consumers confidence in the product quality and performance." "Multi-Pure is continuously committed to providing drinking water treatment units that meet new needs and higher standards," said Alvin E. Rice, President, Multi-Pure Corporation. "We are very pleased that NSF testing confirms the performance of Multi-Pure's newly formulated filter which reduces not only arsenic V but also reduces cyst, lead, mercury, VOCs, PCBs, chloramine and other contaminants of health concern." Founded in 1970 and headquartered in Las Vegas, NV, Multi-Pure Drinking Water Systems is an industry leader in the manufacturing and sale of drinking water treatment units with global distribution (visit www.multipure.com). Multi-Pure specializes in the production of solid carbon block filters and drinking water treatment devices that reduce many contaminants of health concern. NSF International, a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization, is the leading global provider of public health and safety risk management solutions in the areas of food, water, indoor air and the environment (www.nsf.org). NSF provides product certification and safety audits for the food and water industries. Other services include management systems registrations delivered through NSF International Strategic Registrations, Ltd. and education through the NSF Center for Public Health Education. Founded in 1944, NSF is headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan and serves companies in 80 countries. How the Filter Works Mechanical Filtration: The filtration process begins with water passing through a graded density 5-micron pre-filter that traps dirt, sand, and particles that affect the taste, odor, and overall appearance of your water. Then the water passes through the highly compacted solid carbon block where direct mechanical interception of particles as small as 0.5 micron occurs. Asbestos, cysts, and turbidity are reduced through mechanical filtration at the sub-micron level. Electrokinetic Adsorption: The graded density prefilter acquires a positive molecular charge as water passes through it. Since most colloidal contaminants exhibit a negative charge in solution, the media fibers will electrokinetically attract charged colloidal particles too small for removal by mechanical straining. Physical Adsorption: Multi-Pure’s highly compacted carbon block filter media is a blend of selected activated carbons and other materials that reduce aesthetic contaminants and health-related contaminants. Many carbons are selected with a high surface area and high retentivity characteristics. The materials are formed into a carbon block, which is densely compacted to provide longer contact time and outstanding performance that cannot be achieved with other filtration technologies. Multi-Pure’s carbon block filter effectively adsorbs contaminants with health significance, including chlordane, lead, mercury, MTBE, PCBs, Toxaphene, and VOCs, plus aesthetic contaminants such as chlorine and chloramine. The carbon block filter is engineered so that contaminants removed by mechanical filtration will cause the flow rate to decrease, and the filter will clog. It is recommended that the filter be replaced when the first of the following occurs: (a) annually; (b) the unit's rated capacity is reached; (c) the flow rate diminishes; (d) the filter becomes saturated with bad tastes and odors. The effectiveness of any drinking water treatment device is measured by the performance of its filter. Multi-Pure provides the best in water filtration! Guaranteed Quality Solid Carbon Block Water Systems. We use a solid carbon block filter that is considered to be the most effective method for reducing a wide range of contaminants of health concern, which may be present in the water. The carbon is compacted into a dense structure, causing every molecule of water to be forced through microscopic pores of carbon, effectively reducing pollutants. The Solid Carbon Block Filter is a replaceable cartridge designed so that it can be easily changed. 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, it does not add salt or silver to the water; and it provides fresh, delicious, healthy drinking water. |
