The MR5 is a broad-spectrum, commercial-grade 2 stage water filter for houses and small businesses. Its 304 stainless steel housing holds five 20" JMCC “HI” filter elements and is installed at the point of entry, where the municipal or well water line enters the building. Both hot and cold water are filtered for kitchen and bathroom sinks, showers and laundry. No electricity is required.

How the HI filter elements work

The heart of the MR5 is the 20" JMCC Water Filters “HI” 2 stage filter element. Each element has an outer 0.1 micron Ultra Fiber physical filter, followed by an inner medium that removes organic and inorganic chemicals, volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), arsenic, chlorine, chloramines, glyphosates, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, odor gasses, radioactive atoms and other contaminants while allowing healthy minerals to pass through.

MR5 is not a water softener

Water softeners remove a few minerals using resin; they are not water filters. The MR5 does not backflush like reverse osmosis systems. If you have very hard water, you may choose to install a water softener before the MR5 to prevent clogging of the filter elements.
