Since 1970, Multipure has been guided by brothers and founders, H. Allen Rice and Alvin E. Rice, to provide cleaner, more healthful drinking water to the public. In 1974, they developed their signature technology, the solid carbon block filter; since then, the company has further grown and flourished, manufacturing and selling filters and drinking water systems for residential and commercial use around the world. As the original manufacturer of the solid carbon block filter, Multipure uses its network of Independent Distributors to establish its products and opportunity throughout the United States, Canada, and the US Territories. Multipure success has been built upon its values of family, integrity, and innovation; its establishment and growth can be traced to its belief in the strength of family and the promotion of the health and success of families everywhere.
