14. Organic Chemicals but not natural minerals Should sediment be removed witha standard filter first Why is the compressed activated carbon block filtration system more efficient than activated carbon loose granular systems What is the difference between a water softener and the Multi Pure Drinking Water System Can the Multi Pure System be used on untreated water Answer No No The below sink models can be connected to both your sink and refrigerator to any type of water dispenser or ice maker You can use the same unit installed under your sink to also filter the water at your refrigerator Yes you can hand pump or siphon water through the Multi Pure System during an emergency CAUTION the Multi Pure System is not intended to be used where the water is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the unit The natural minerals in the Multi Pure water solidify when the water is frozen and those minerals appear as white flakes or specks when the ice melts Minerals are totally dissolved in solution and do not have an actual physical size thus the minerals pass through the filter unchanged In areas with excessive sedimentation prefiltration will help extend the operational efficiency of the Multi Pure cartridge however in most areas this is not necessary Multi Pure s solid carbon block filters are compacted into a dense structure caus
