Multipure Aquaversa review: ten certified claims, and no PFAS among them
The Multipure Aquaversa is listed with NSF under model MP750 with ten NSF/ANSI 53 reduction claims, one of the longest lists in our batch. It holds no PFAS certification of any kind. It also sits at the top of the price range among the units we checked, and whether that makes sense depends entirely on what your utility reported.
How we make money: buying through our link earns us a commission from the retailer at no extra cost to you, at the same rate whatever a product scores. No manufacturer pays us. Full disclosure.
An unusually long claim list
Certified under NSF as "Aquaversa" with the CB6 element, rated 750 gallons at 0.75 gallons per minute. Its NSF/ANSI 53 claims: asbestos, chlordane, cyst, lead, MTBE, mercury, PCB, toxaphene, turbidity and VOCs.
Chlordane, PCB and toxaphene are unusual to see certified on a household unit. They are legacy pesticides and industrial compounds, relevant mainly where groundwater sits near historic agricultural or industrial contamination. If that describes your area, this list is doing something most filters do not.
The gap: no PFAS claim
At this price point, the absence of any PFAS certification is the thing to weigh. A markedly cheaper unit in the same batch holds a certified PFOA and PFOS claim. If PFAS is your concern, spending more here does not buy protection against it.
A lookup quirk worth knowing
Searching NSF's database for "Multipure" as a trade name returns nothing. The listing lives under the product name "Aquaversa". This is a recurring trap: certifications are filed under whatever name the manufacturer registered, and an empty search result frequently means you searched the wrong string rather than that the product is uncertified.
What we have not tested
We have not installed or measured this unit. The claim list above is independent third-party certification; everything about how it performs in a specific kitchen is not something we have verified. Its Amazon rating rests on a much smaller review base than the mass-market units here, which is worth factoring into how much weight you give it.
Check it yourself
Everything above is verifiable in about a minute. Search the exact model number at NSF's certified products database or WQA's Gold Seal directory. Use the model number, not the brand: certification is granted per model, and brand-level results routinely describe a different product.

What you need depends on what's in your water
Look up your own utility's published figures before buying anything. A filter certified for the wrong contaminant is money spent on the wrong problem.
