NSF/ANSI 58 - Reverse Osmosis
The System has been tested according to NSF/ANSI Standard 58 for the reduction of the following substances. The concen-
tration of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the per-
missible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 58.
NOTES:
1. Multi-Pure Drinking Water Systems have been certified, as indicated, by NSF International for compliance to NSF/ANSI Standard
Nos. 42 and 53, and 58.
2. This Multi-Pure Drinking Water System(s) 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 Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOC). 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 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 fil-
terable cysts.
5. The System may be used with municipal or well water sources that are treated and tested on a regular basis to ensure bacteriolo-
gical safe quality of the water.
6. Do not allow water to freeze in the unit. If unit is exposed to freezing temperatures, drain water from unit and remove filters.
7. 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 filters. Upon your return, reconnect the filters 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 10 minutes; then continue use as normal.
8. Multi-Pure Drinking Water System stainless steel housing is warranted for a period of 25 years; plastic housings are warranted for three
years. All exterior hoses and attachments to the System are warranted for defects in material and workmanship for one year. Please
see the Owner's Manual for complete product guarantee and warranty information.
9. Please see the Owner's Manual for installation instructions and operating procedures.
10. 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.
11. Check for compliance with state and local laws and regulations.
12. While testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary.
13. The list of substances which the treatment device reduces does not necessarily mean that these substances are present in your
tap water.
14. This system is acceptable for treatment of influent concentrations of no more than 27 mg/L nitrate and 3 mg/L nitrite in combination
measured as N and is certified for nitrate/nitrite reduction only for water supplies with a pressure of 280 kPa (40 psig) or greater.
15. This system has been tested for the treatment of water containing pentavalent arsenic (also known as As(V), As(+5), or arsenate)
at concentrations of 0.30 mg/L or less. This system reduces pentavalent arsenic, but may not remove other forms of arsenic.
This system is to be used on water supplies containing a detectable free chlorine residual at the system inlet or on water supplies
that have been demonstrated to contain only pentavalent arsenic. Treatment with chloramine (combined chlorine) is not sufficient to
ensure complete conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts section of the Performance
Data Sheet for further information.

MP750 Plus RO Operation and Maintenance Specifications
Depending on water chemistry, water temperature, and water pressure, the MP750 Plus RO System production and per-
formance will vary. Refer to Owner's Manual for further maintenance requirements and warranty information.
Note: This Performance Data Sheet addresses the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Primary and Secondary Drinking
Water Regulations in effect at its time of publication, as they related to Multi-Pure's performance in conformance to the industry perform-
ance 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.
Replacement Filters and Parts
Filter life will vary in proportion to the amount of water used and the level of impurities in the water being processed.
Replacement filters, membrane, and parts can be purchased directly from Multi-Pure Corporation. Replacement filter
model numbers are shown below. The approximate retail price of replacement filters is also shown below. Prices exclude
sales tax and shipping and handling fees (*prices subject to change without notice).
To dispose of the used filter or membrane, remove it from the housing and place the old filter or membrane in your normal
refuse. Carbon filters 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.

Facts About Arsenic (in compliance with NSF
Standard 58)
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 utili-
ties 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 test-
ed. The local health department or the state envi-
ronmental health agency can provide a list of certi-
fied labs. The cost is typically $15 to $30.
Information about arsenic in water can be found on
the Internet at the US 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 pen-
tavalent, 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
