A Family's Experience with a Multi-Pure Water Filter

Having been concerned about my drinking water for a number of years I began using water filters and started out using the "discount store" filters as most people do... I tried the pitchers, and the little faucet filters and found I was continually buying replacement filters...
After hearing about the 28 hazardous waste sites in Jacksonville Florida, just 35 miles from my well which is located downstream from Jacksonville via the Florida Aquifer my concern began to grow... I then began looking around my immediate area and found many other sources of water contamination such as the local gas station, numerous farms that use herbicides and pesticides to protect their crops, a polluted river within a mile of my house, and a large subdivision within a few hundred yards of my well where most of the homeowners also use herbicides, pesticides and numerous other chemicals to grow their lawns and a large golf course that maintains their vast acres of grass chemically...
Convinced as I was that drinking water contamination is virtually everywhere, I then realized I had to do something to protect my family from this growing problem. After much research I decided on a Multi-Pure 880SB Water Filtration System... What really sold me on MultiPure is the fact Multi Pure is Certified By NSF International to reduce the widest range of contaminants to the highest degree - actually from 95 to 99.9 percent! No other water filter made anywhere in the world can top that!
Multi Pure has been producing solid carbon block filters since 1970 and has been the market leader in drinking water filtration for 38 years and still is today... The Multi-Pure solid carbon block provides the most intense filtration of any water filter...
The reason MultiPure water filters work so well is because all the water touches the carbon... The water "leaches" through the filter and yet provides a steady strong stream of water upon demand at the touch of a finger...
Multi Pure Replacement water filters are never a problem... I just call Multi Pure and they ship me one out that day!
Reasonably priced, Multi-Pure water filters last a long time. With their high capacity ratings, they can provide healthier, better tasting water for up to a year... Those cheap filters actually were costing me more replacing filters than the cost of the MultiPure 880 drinking water filtration system we still have under our sink after all these years...
At one time, we were using bottled water, going through at least 5 gallons a day! That really gets costly... The high cost of bottled water today makes using a Multi-Pure water filter a much more sensible solution... I have since read a study on bottled water by the Natural Resources Defense Council... They studied one thousand bottled water's and found some bottled water to be contaminated... The NRDC also found many bottled waters are nothing but tap water in a plastic bottle... From what I understand, these plastic water bottles are creating quite a stir as they are filling up much needed space in our landfills...
There has also been many studies regarding tap water... Tap water can be down right scary...
Regulated by the EPA, the municipal tap water suppliers are only required to check for certain contaminants on a regular basis and many only once a month or once a year... I believe the total number of contaminants that are under regulations to be tested by municipal suppliers is 114... That is less than half the 260 contaminants found in tap water... Check out the Environmental Working Group website and read "A National Assessment of Tap Water Quality", you will soon see why I would never drink tap water unless it was filtered by a MultiPure...
Another convincing factor was the guarantee... MultiPure provides a 90 day customer satisfaction guarantee and a lifetime warranty... I know of no other water filter that does...
The price is the other factor, much less expensive in the long run than bottled water or cheap brands of water filters, my Multi Pure is saving me money every day!
Multi-Pure is a great company, been around for a long time and I am sure will be there in the future when I need replacement water filters... I would recommend Multi-Pure Water Filters to anyone who is concerned about their drinking water...
