Residential Uses

Introduced in 1970, the CL-Series was the first small, disposable, point-of-use (POU) water filter in the world. Utilizing granular activated carbon (GAC) these cost-effective units found a ready market in areas such as under-the-counter and ice machine filtration. As the market has grown, Omnipure has supplemented the CL-Series with other filter bodies that, while retaining the basic designs that made the CL-Series the benchmark of the industry, add functionality to the original product. Additionally, Omnipure has added various media options to the line that address specific water problems such as silt, sand or scaling.

The concept of point-of-use filtration has always been an ideal solution for many residential applications. Original product installation does not require major plumbing alterations and, with the newer Omnipure filter bodies in particular, filter replacement can be handled in a matter of seconds.

Today, you will find Omnipure products used in virtually any situation where better tasting, sediment free water is important. Whether as stand-alone units or used as a component in complete systems such as reverse osmosis, Omnipure products are recognized as the most cost effective, best designed and most reliable inline water filter in the world.

Potable Water Filtration
In the 1970's the United States Government passed legislation requiring all municipalities to provide disinfected drinking water to residents. The disinfectant utilized by most cities, chlorine, can cause undesirable tastes and odors in tap water. Omnipure GAC products are designed to virtually eliminate these undesirable tastes and odors leaving the tap water clear, tasteless and odorless. Additionally, while Omnipure does not claim any health benefits from filtered water, many experts believe that clean, chlorine-reduced water is beneficial to health.

Omnipure produces units that can be used for both under-the-counter and countertop applications. All products are easy to install and replacement is fast and sanitary.

System Components
Omnipure products are often used as components in complete water filtration systems. While Omnipure Filter Company does not manufacture complete systems, many original equipment manufacturers choose only Omnipure filters for their systems.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) System manufacturers find Omnipure filters ideal for inclusion in their systems because of the uniform body sizes and shapes that can perform the functions of a sediment filter, pre-carbon filter, R.O. membrane filter body and post-carbon water polishing filter. These manufacturers know that system maintenance is quick and easy because of the fast replacement body designs and that Omnipure products prove extremely reliable in the field.

Manufacturers often choose Omnipure because of the wide array of filtration media alternatives that can address specific water conditions such as protection from scaling and grit or ultra-fine filtration available only from carbon block technology. They find our products easy to integrate into their systems and that product reliability is unsurpassed.

Residential Appliances
In today's modern home many appliances are plumbed directly into the water delivery system. Refrigerators, ice machines and coffee machines have a direct line to the water source. Omnipure filtration products are ideal for protecting these expensive items and can also reduce or eliminate undesirable tastes and odors in the water. Many manufacturers install Omnipure filters on their appliances at the factory and specify that Omnipure products be used upon replacement.
