Your Tap Water
Has a Secret.
The EPA regulates fewer than 100 contaminants. Over 300 have been detected in U.S. tap water. Multipure's NSF-certified solid carbon block filters are the gold standard in home water purification — trusted for over 50 years.

What's Hiding in Your Water?
Municipal water treatment was designed for a different era. Today's water contains contaminants that standard treatment doesn't address — many with serious long-term health consequences.
Atrazine
America's most common herbicide. Detected in 94% of U.S. water sources. Linked to hormone disruption and developmental issues.
PFAS / PFOA / PFOS
Used in cookware, packaging, and firefighting foam. Found in water supplies nationwide. Associated with cancer and immune suppression.
Lead
Aging pipes leach lead into drinking water. No safe level exists. Flint, Michigan was a warning — not an anomaly.
Chromium-6
Immortalized by Erin Brockovich. A known carcinogen found in tap water across all 50 states, often above safety limits.
Emerging Compounds
Antibiotics, antidepressants, hormones, and pain medications have been detected in treated municipal water supplies.
Microplastics
Tiny plastic fragments found in bottled and tap water worldwide. Long-term health effects are alarming researchers globally.
$10+ Billion in Landmark Contamination Settlements
DuPont's PFOA contamination... 3M's PFAS liability... PG&E's Chromium-6 in Hinkley, CA... Camp Lejeune's decades of toxic exposure. These weren't accidents — they were the cost of ignoring what's in the water. Your tap water is not regulated to zero risk.

Not all water filters are equal. Most use granular carbon — which traps some chemicals but lets others through. Multipure uses a solid carbon block, the densest filtration medium available for home use.
- ✓Solid carbon block — Compressed carbon forces water through a tight matrix, trapping contaminants granular filters miss.
- ✓Third-party NSF certified — NSF International independently tests every performance claim.
- ✓No electricity needed — Simple under-sink or countertop installation.
- ✓Retains beneficial minerals — Unlike reverse osmosis, keeps calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
- ✓50+ year track record — Founded in 1970, Multipure has outlasted hundreds of competitors.
Chlorine, chloramine, taste, odor, particulates
Lead, arsenic, cysts, VOCs, PFOA/PFOS, mercury, and 40+ more
Pharmaceuticals, hormones, BPA, microplastics, flame retardants
