Let's Make It Easy...

While Water2Drink offers many Multi-Pure® products from which to choose to filter your water, the following questions and recommendations will make the selection process much easier for you.

1. Do you need the most economical, lowest-priced filter?

We recommend the Aqua Dome (MPAD) with a list purchase price of $224.95 plus shipping.

2. How much countertop space can you spare?

Countertop units are very easy to install on a standard kitchen faucet, and they are easy to relocate to another sink, if needed. These units do take up countertop space next to the sink and they are always visible. The Multi-Pure® Countertop units include the following models, which are ranked from least to most expensive:

MPCT - countertop-only
Aqua Dome (MPAD) – countertop-only
MP 750 SC – countertop, but may be converted to below-the-sink unit
MP880 SC – countertop-only

3. Do you want a temporary or permanent installation?

Below-the-Sink units are more permanent than the countertop units, and are well suited for people who own their own home. The Below-the-Sink units are mounted under the sink and tap directly into the kitchen cold water supply. The units are mounted out of sight with only a faucet visible at the sink. The Multi-Pure® Below-the-Sink units include the following models, which are ranked from least to most expensive:

MP 750 SB – includes faucet
MP 1200 EL – includes capacity-metered faucet
MP 880 SB – includes faucet
MP 880 EL – includes capacity-metered faucet

4. How much water do you expect to use?

Each of the Multi-Pure® units has a rated capacity in gallons of water filtered. This is the rated capacity of the filter cartridge before the cartridge must be replaced with a new one.

MPCT - Approximately 750 gallons
MP 880 SC / SB – Approximately 600 gallons
Aqua Dome (MPAD) – Approximately 750 gallons
MP 750 SC / SB – Approximately 750 gallons
MP 880 EL – Approximately 960 gallons
MP 1200 EL – Approximately 1,200 gallons
MP 750 SI - Approximately 750 gallons
MP 880 SI - Approximately 600 gallons

5. Do you plan to connect an icemaker to your water filter?

You should consider only the Below-the-Sink units if you plan to connect an icemaker directly to the unit. The units designated “SI” in the model number are designed for just such applications. However, all of the Multi-Pure® Below-the-Sink units can be installed with a T-fitting to allow connection of both a faucet and an icemaker.

6. Do you have Arsenic in your water?

If you have a problem with Arsenic V contamination in your water supply, you should only consider using the Multi-Pure® MP 880 SC, MP 880 SB, MP 880 EL or MP 880 SI units.

7. Do you have a heavy mineral problem in your water, such as excessive calcium or iron?

Most Multi-Pure® units do not remove healthy minerals that naturally occur in your water supply. However, if you have unusually heavy amounts of minerals in your water, or if you need to remove minerals for health-related reasons, you should consider using the Multi-Pure® MPRO Reverse Osmosis unit. The MPRO combines reverse osmosis technology with Multi-Pure®’s solid carbon block filtration.

8. Do you want to be reminded when it’s time to replace the cartridge?

If you would like to precisely monitor the time to replace your filter cartridge and extend the life of the cartridge, you should consider using the Multi-Pure® models MP 1200 EL or MP 880 EL.

9. Is the chlorine or other chemicals in your water drying out your skin and hair?

If you are concerned about removing chlorine and other contaminants from the water in which you shower, you should consider using the Multi-Pure® SFFH shower filter attachment. To treat all showers and water used throughout the home, consider using the Multi-Pure® TO 15000 Whole House Water Treatment System or the new Multi-Pure® TO 30000 Whole House Water Treatment System. Please note that the Whole House Water Treatment System is not an effective replacement for the sub-micron point-of-use drinking water filtration units, but is used in combination with a drinking water filter.
