NOTES

1. Replacement filters can be purchased directly from Multi-Pure Corporation. The replacement filter model number is CB6.
The approximate retail price of the replacement filter is also shown above. Price excludes sales tax and shipping and
handling fees (prices subject to change without notice).

2. Filter life will vary in proportion to the amount of water used and the level of impurities in the water being processed.
Replace the filter cartridge when the first of the following occurs: (a) annually; (b) when the unit's rated capacity is
reached; (c) the flow rate diminishes; (d) the filter becomes saturated with bad tastes and odors. The rated capacity of the
filter cartridge is 750 gallons for Models MP750SB and MP750SI; capacity of the MP1200EL is 1200 gallons.

3. MP1200EL comes with a capacity monitor that automatically flashes a yellow light when it is time to replace the filter.

4. 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. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may con­tain filterable cysts.

5. Do not allow water to freeze in the unit. If unit is exposed to freezing temperatures, drain water from unit and remove filter.

6. 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 filter. Upon your return, reconnect the filter 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 3 minutes; then continue use as normal.

7. To dispose of the used filter, remove it from the housing and place the old filter in your normal refuse. The filter disposed of
in a normal landfill will not release any chemical contamination but will probably continue to adsorb additional contaminants
that are disposed of in landfills.

8. Check for compliance with state and local laws and regulations.

The Models MP750SB, MP750SI, and MP1200EL Drinking Water Systems are designed for use below the sink and can
easily be installed on the incoming cold water line. The MP750SB and MP1200EL units are connected to a specially
designed stainless steel faucet (spigot) which installs directly on your sink, requiring little space. Your below sink unit is
shipped with only one installation kit consisting of the accessories and fittings deemed appropriate for your area. Alternate
accessories may be purchased at a minimal cost.

The Multi-Pure Model MP750SI includes the housing, filter, and adapters; no installation fixtures or accessories are provid­ed. MP750SI is appropriate for an in-line installation and can be used with your existing faucet. It is recommended that
the inline model be installed by a professional plumber in accordance with established plumbing procedures.

performance, it is essential that the Solid Carbon Block Filter cartridge be replaced annually or when it has processed its

Except as otherwise expressly provided above, Multi-Pure Corporation makes no warranties, express or implied, arising

I.C. Warranty

Multi-Pure’s stainless steel faucet can be installed through a standard sink hole, if one
is available. If you have a hole for a side spray hose on your sink, that hole may be
used for your drinking water faucet, eliminating the need to drill a hole for the faucet.

The following instructions are for installing at your sink the special drinking water faucet
included with your below sink model. Determine the type of faucet included with your
unit and review the instructions for installing your type of faucet.

1. Porcelain Sink, Ceramic Sink, or Cast Acrylic Sink

Note: Porcelain, cast acrylic, and ceramic sink surface materials are extremely hard and can crack or chip quite
easily. Use extreme caution when drilling. Multi-Pure Drinking Water Systems accepts no responsibility for conse­quential damage resulting from the installation of a faucet.

1. Select and mark the spot for mounting the faucet on your sink top.
a. Confirm that there are no reinforcing ribs under the sink location you select for your faucet.
b. If you have an extra hole in your sink for a rinsing hose, you may want to disconnect that hose

and use the existing hole for your drinking water faucet.

2. Using the hammer and center punch, make an indentation by tapping the center punch gently on the
ceramic/porcelain where the hole is to be drilled.

3. Use the ½" carbide tipped masonry drill bit to grind away the porcelain down to the metal, clearing
away enough porcelain to allow for drilling a hole without damaging the porcelain surface.

4. Carefully use the 7/16" ( or 1/2”) high speed steel drill bit (CAUTION: do not allow the 7/16" bit to
"grab" the porcelain - this would damage the porcelain surface) to completely drill a hole through the
metal sink.

2. Stainless Steel or Metal Sink

You will need to use a 1/8" high speed drill bit in addition to the other tools
listed for the installation of a faucet on a stainless steel sink.

1. Select and mark the spot for mounting the faucet on your sink. If you

have an extra hole for a spray hose at your sink, you may want to dis­connect that hose and use the existing hole for your drinking water
faucet.

2. Using the hammer and center punch, make an indentation where

the hole is to be drilled.

3. Use the 1/8" high speed steel drill bit to drill a pilot hole.

4. Use the 7/16" (or 1/2”) high speed steel drill bit to completely drill a hole through the stainless steel sink.

3. From under the sink, slide over the blue tubing:

a. the black plastic (hard) washer (with the small side up)
b. lock washer
c. the wing nut

4. Hand tighten the wing nut to secure the faucet. Using vice grips, secure the wing nut and

faucet below the sink.

5. From above the sink, (CAUTION: protect the faucet base from scratching) using an 8"

adjustable wrench, turn the faucet base clockwise until firm. Then remove the vise grips from
below the sink.

To operate your Multi-Pure faucet, just turn the handle on for continuous flow. To stop flow, return the handle to its

original position.

The faucet is now ready to be connected to your drinking water unit.

Mounting the Faucet with a Capacity Monitor:

1. Follow the preceding instructions for drilling the hole; however, use the 1/2”
drill bit all the way through the sink instead of the 7/16” drill bit to allow room to
feed the faucet stud and the monitor cable down through the hole in the sink.

2. Note that the blue tubing is attached to the faucet.

3. From the sink / counter top, place over the faucet hole:
a. The larger soft black rubber washer (#9).
b. Then the Capacity Indicator Plate (#7); feed the attached black cable (#8)

through the hole in the sink / counter. Position the Capacity Indicator Plate
so that the indicator light will be easy to see.

c. Place the smaller soft black rubber washer (#6) over the Capacity Indicator

Plate.

d. Place the faucet base (#3) on the soft washer and Capacity Indicator Plate,

feeding the faucet stud and blue tubing down through the hole in the sink /
counter. The faucet stud will now be accessible from below the sink.

4. From under the sink, do the following:
a. Slide the black plastic hard washer (#10) (with the small side up) over the

blue tubing (#5), black wire (#6) and faucet stud (#4).

b. Slide the black "track" washer (#11) over the threaded faucet stud with

the flat side down. Guide the black wire (#8) through the "track" to assure
that the wire will be protected in the track and not be pinched between the

sink /counter and the stud nut.
c. Slide the lock washer (#12) on the faucet stud.
d. Screw on the stud wing nut (#13), hand-tightening it just enough to keep

the faucet secure on the sink top.
