System Options
Base System - The base Aquapremier system can be used in-line with other existing hardware (e.g., existing faucet, ice maker, etc.), but includes no additional plumbing hardware. It can utilize compatible below-sink and countertop parts and accessories.
Below-Sink Kit - This installation kit includes a stand-alone chrome faucet and the necessary hardware to attach the system to a cabinet wall below the sink. The system connects to the cold water line with an included Adapta Valve, and the faucet requires a 0.5" hole available in the countertop or sink for installation. A below-sink Aquapremier is intended for a more permanent installation, although it can be removed and converted for countertop use with the optional countertop kit. The below-sink Aquapremier is designed to mount on the side of the cabinet, but can rest on the floor of the cabinet with an optional acrylic base (MC840).
Countertop Kit - The standard countertop installation kit includes a dual-hose diverter valve and an acrylic base that allows the system to sit on top of the counter next to the sink. The system connects to the sink faucet with the dual-hose diverter valve, outputting filtered water from a spigot on the diverter valve itself. Filtered or unfiltered water can be selected by a push-button on the diverter valve.
Single Hose Diverter Kit - This installation kit includes a single-hose diverter kit and an acrylic base that allows the system to sit on top of the counter next to the sink. The system connects to the sink faucet with the single-hose diverter valve, outputting filtered water from a faucet attached to the top of the system housing. Filtered or unfiltered water can be selected by a push-button on the diverter valve.

Footnotes
*Chloroform was used as a surrogate for claims of reduction of Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOC). CB Tech 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. **Percent reduction reflects actual performance of the CB Tech product as specifically tested (at 120% of capacity). Percent reduction shown for VOCs reflects the allowable claims for Volatile Organic Chemicals/Compounds as per Tables. Chloroform was used as a surrogate for VOC reduction claims: CB Tech systems tested at >99.8% actual reduction of Chloroform (at 120% of capacity).
***NSF Standard 401 has been deemed as "incidental contaminants/emerging compounds". Incidental contaminants are those compounds that have been detected in drinking water supplies at trace levels. While occurring at only trace levels, these compounds can affect the public acceptance/perception of drinking water quality.
- This system is not intended to convert wastewater or raw sewage into drinking water.
- Multipure Drinking Water Systems have been certified, as indicated, by NSF International for compliance to NSF/ANSI Standard Nos. 42, 53, 401 and Protocol P231. Multipure Drinking Water Systems have been certified by the State of California Department of Public Health for the reduction of specific contaminants.
- Filter life will vary in proportion to the amount of water used and the level of impurities in the water being processed. For optimum performance, it is essential that the filter be replaced on a regularly scheduled basis as follows: (a) annually; (b) when the unit's rated capacity has been reached; (c) the flow rate diminishes; or (d) the filter becomes saturated with bad tastes and odors.
- Do not allow water to freeze in the unit. If unit is exposed to freezing temperatures, drain water from unit and remove filter.
- When first installing or replacing the filter cartridge, flush water through the cartridge for 15 minutes prior to use.
- 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.
- Multipure Drinking Water System housings are warranted for a Lifetime (provided that the filter be replaced at least once a year). 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.
- Please see the Owner's Manual for installation instructions and operating procedures.
- 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 Multipure unit with your actual water treatment needs.
- While testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary.
- The list of substances which the treatment device reduces does not necessarily mean that these substances are present in your tap water.
- Multipure's Aquapremier have been tested for the treatment of water containing pentavalent arsenic (also known as As(V), As(+5), or arsenate) at concentrations of 0.050 mg/L or less. This system reduces pentavalent arsenic, but may not reduce 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.
- The compounds certified under NSF/ANSI 401 have been deemed as incidental contaminants/emerging compounds. Incidental contaminants are those that have been detected in drinking water supplies at trace levels. While occurring at only trace levels, these compounds can affect the public acceptance/perception of drinking water quality.
- The system and installation to comply with state and local laws and regulations.
- Spent adsorption media will not be regenerated and used.
- WARNING: This system is for use on water supplies that have been treated to public water systems standards. This system has been tested to demonstrate effective reduction of microcystins, however, in the event of a reported cyanotoxin event in your water supply, other cyanotoxins may be present in the drinking water which may not be effectively reduced by this system. In the event of a cyanotoxin notification, follow the recommendations of your drinking water authority.
