| SUGGESTION #1: DRINK EIGHT 8 oz. GLASSES OF WATER A DAY. NO ONE SHOULD BE DRINKING TAP WATER! Multi-Pure Water Filters are absolutely THE BEST. They are the most effective, most convenient, and least expensive water filter available. Only 7 cents a gallon at your tap! The company has been in business more than 25 years. I'm retired. I don't need the money, BUT I care about people's health, so I still sell Multi-Pures if asked. I have many testimonials from very satisfied customers. I'm a distributor; ask me for details. Give yourself and your loved ones the gift of health! JANE FINLEY -------------------------------------- NSF Standard 53 Tests Removal of Fuel Additive Contaminant from Drinking Water In January, CBS aired a feature story on 60 Minutes about methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), a gasoline additive designed to boost octane. This fuel additive has caused great concern among the public recently because of its presence detected in groundwater. In fact, new research published in March by the American Chemical Society reports that as many as 9,000 community water wells in 31 states may be contaminated with MTBE because of their proximity to leaking underground storage tanks. ANSI/NSF Standard 53 now includes a test for MTBE removal as part of the chemical reduction requirements. NSF added this testing capability to the Standard in 1999, anticipating customer needs. Multi-Pure Corporation, a Las Vegas-based manufacturer of carbon block filters, recently became the first company to certify a product to an MTBE removal claim. |
| Paula Rice, Vice President of Administration at Multi-Pure, stated, �We were very excited when this updated NSF Standard was released. Our distributors identified MTBE as a contaminant of concern, and they needed to know that our filters could remove it. NSF testing and certification assures consumers our product will perform as promised.� |

SANTA MONICA MIRROR -------------------------------------------- Maui House is health-conscious--with a Multi-Pure drinking water filtration system, a smoke-free environment, and a copper-silver ionized pool and jacuzzi that leave your skin and hair soft and completely odor-free. MAUI HOUSE --------------------------------------------- "I am so happy with my Multi-Pure. The kids drink more water and say "Yummy!" instead of "Yucky!" when I make their favorite drinks. Because we no longer have to mask the chlorine tastes and poisons, we use less coffee, tea, drink mixes -- whatever I use tap water for in my day to day cooking! Another bonus, NO MORE LIFTING HEAVY JUGS OF BOTTLED WATER! Hooray! We save a ton of money by no longer paying the bottled water fees, and our backs and pocketbooks feel the difference. We recommend the Multi-Pure to all our friends! PS. The water pump recently went out on our camper trailer. We used the emergency hand pump with our Multi-Pure portable, plastic unit, and rested assured that our family was safe and well provided for. Again, THANK YOU!" LPA ----------------------------------------------- "Feeling safe is a priority for me and my family, and is just one reason we appreciate the protection from the Multi-Pure Drinking Water Systems. It sure makes all juices and even cooked foods taste better. I can now receive residual income for the rest of my life and my children's lives for repeat sales of replacement cartridges." SDP |
| FROM THE CORPORATE SITE: How do other water treatment methods compare with Solid Carbon Block Filters? End of Tap (Faucet Mount) Low filter capacity. Frequent filter changes needed, resulting in ongoing filter replacement costs. Reduces some contaminants of health concern. Carafe/Pitcher (pour-through) Reduces some contaminants of health concern, but not VOCs. Inconvenient to use: water must be poured through the filter and then refrigerated while you wait. Low capacity requires frequent filter changes. Must replace filters about every 40 gallons at $7-$10 each, or $130-$190 for 750 gallons (Multi-Pure�s 750 gallon filter is only $49.95). Reverse Osmosis No independent ability to reduce most Volatile Organic Chemicals. Very low output - takes up to 24 hours to process 5 gallons of water. Must have holding tank to store the processed water. Wastes water - for every gallon processed, 3 to 9 gallons are wasted. Removes minerals and trace elements essential to good health. Charcoal Filters These come in powdered or granulated form which allows water to flow around rather than through the carbon. Referred to as taste and odor filters because of the limited contact time the water has with the carbon. Can promote the growth of bacteria. Silver-Charcoal Filters Same as Charcoal Filters above; however, uses silver to inhibit the growth of bacteria while water sits in filter. Silver ingested in certain doses can be poisonous to the human body; therefore, it must be registered with the EPA as containing a poisonous substance. Limited Media Filters As the demand for quality drinking water continues to grow, new types of media will be test-marketed, from metal shavings to coconut shells. Some materials can be quite �exceptional� in reducing a particular contaminant in the water, but there is a wide range of contaminants that should be addressed - not one or two. Distillation Removes dissolved minerals and trace elements essential to good health. No independent ability to remove all chemicals - the chemicals can vaporize and recondense into the distilled water. Daily chore to provide enough water for the entire family. Requires electricity at a cost of about $240 per year. |
