The MR5

The commercial-grade MR5 filtration system stainless steel housing surrounds five 20″ HI-filter elements and is installed where the municipal or well water line enters the home. Both hot and cold water will be filtered for kitchen and bathroom sinks, shower and laundry.

The heart of the MR5 Whole House Filter is our 20″ JMCC Water Filters “HI” 2 stage filter element. Five of them in the MR5 give the high flow rate necessary for your house demanding water needs. The HI elements feature an outer 0.1 micron Ultra Fiber physical filter while the second stage inner medium which removes organic/inorganic chemicals, volatile organic chemicals (VOCS), arsenic, chlorine, chloramines, glyphosates, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, odor gasses, radioactive atoms, and thousands of other toxins while leaving the healthy minerals pass through.  If you have a diagnosed PFAS/PFOS “forever” chemical problem then add our PFAS/PFOS Filter (Laboratory Certified) to remove these to below required levels.

The high precision manufactured stainless steel casing is made with CAD/CAM machining and welding so each unit is exactly the same. This is why we alone can fill the mass markets of homeowners, builders, plumbers and architects across the country, as people become aware of the need to filter in each house at the Point of Entry (POE). Both hot and cold water are filtered. Cities and counties may try very expensive methods of cleaning up water, however, the most effective and inexpensive solution is at the individual home where the water enters the building.

The MR5 is the most complete all-in-one water filtration system available for home or small commercial installation. It provides the highest possible quality at an affordable price.  The MR5 is a broad spectrum commercial grade water filtration system designed to remove toxins and pollutants including those put into the water by your local water supplier or polluted well ground water.

NOTE: the MR5 is NOT a water softener. Water softeners are generally inexpensive plastic or fiberglass tanks with small top water connections that are filled with a resin to remove a few minerals from your water (minerals are not toxins). A water softener is not a water filter. Beware many companies today try to market water softeners calling them whole house filters. They sometimes combine with a second tank to remove one specific toxin and have no physical filter. If you have very hard water you may chose to have a water softener before the MR5 to prevent clogging the MR5 filters. Normal hard water does not require a water softener. We do not recommend nor advise on water softeners (it is a personal choice). This is one of the most frequently asked questions we get on the MR5.

The MR5 does NOT backflush like Reverse Osmosis systems which can waste as much water as you use and create huge amounts of brine that dumps into the environment. Many municipalities are outlawing Reverse Osmosis because of the backflush issue.

Finally, those big box store plastic shower and sink filters simply do not work. They have a hand full of charcoal powder that only removes chlorine and for a short time only. Both urban and rural well owners need a real solution. Our MR5 Whole House Filter is like having a fresh mountain stream in your house.

We also offer our NSF standard Ceritified PFAS/PFOS Filter that removes dangerous “forever chemicals” (PFAS) that are lurking in water supplies in the U.S.A.  This filter is an add on to the MR5 for locations that have verified and government specified PFAS/PFOS filtration requirements (it must be used in conjunction with the MR5). PFAS/PFOS chemicals were once used to make carpets, clothing, furniture fabric, firefighting foams, food packaging, cookware, and other materials resistant to water, grease, or stains. Estimates are that 99% of all Americans have carcinogenic PFAS chemicals in their blood. Adding more from unfiltered water can pose a major health risk. The EPA is just starting to provide standards and guidance and most municipalities are a long way from providing a solution. This leaves the homeowner to fend for themselves and protect their families.  Out PFAS/PFOS Filter is made from lifetime stainless steel and the filter element maintains a Laboratory Certification for PFAS/PFOS removal.   The 20″ filter element is built to last for 55,000 gallons between filter element changes (about 3 years for the average family).

In addition to the unique filter-system design, JMCC solved a myriad of challenges when bringing the MR5 to market, including:

• The ability to mass-produce the filter system—creating its own processes to do so with 15 gallon per minute capacity large enough for any home or small business
• The highly rugged nature of the system gives you decades of care free use after installation at the Point of Entry in the home (no electricity required)
• Although rugged and solidly built, the system is easy to install and maintain (change filter elements every 55,000 gallons about one year for a family of 4)
• With a price tag of less than $2000 plus the cost of your local plumber (we can communicate with your plumber to make sure the install goes smoothly), you can be assured that you are providing your family with the safest possible water
• Options include a UV Sterilizer Post Filter (recommended – comes with UV bulb – change bulbs every 12 months – needs normal 120 VAC outlet), the Laboratory Certified PFAS/PFOS Filter, and the Big Blue sediment Pre-filter for wells or surface water (comes with 6 20″ 5 micron sediment filters)
• JMCC ships all of its products with FREE SHIPPING via UPS to the continental 48 states. (Orders from Alaska and Hawaii will be billed additional charges at the time of shipping via email invoice).
