About Omnipure Filter Company, Inc.

Omnipure filter company developed the world’s first disposable inline water filter in 1969 and brought a production model to market in 1970. This filter, the CL-Series, was designed specifically to reduce compounds that detracted from the aesthetics of drinking water namely color, odor, and taste. The filter found its first widespread application in commercial ice making machines. It soon found regular usage as an accessory attached to refrigerators, water coolers, coffee machines and as a component in other filtration systems such as Reverse Osmosis Systems and other multi-level filtration processes (stand-alone under counter, sink). From the beginning, founder William Reid based filter design on sound engineering principles. After building and testing his initial designs, Mr. Reid perfected the manufacturing techniques that allowed Omnipure to reproduce the filter with precision. Sound engineering combined with good technique yields a quality product. With that process up and running, Omnipure began to build a reputation for manufacturing the world’s best disposable inline water filter. In time, William Reid handed over the reins of the company to his son, Roger Reid. Roger was also a trained engineer. He soon developed several cutting-edge filter body designs that revolutionized the industry. In 1992, Omnipure introduced the K-Series filter that utilizes Quick connects fittings. Next, Omnipure developed the Q-Series. The Q-Series features a Twist-Tap in-head valve system that automatically turns off the water supply as the body is removed from the head. Both filter series have found ready markets as they are relatively low in cost yet highly efficient and easy to install and replace. In late 2022, Culligan purchased Omnipure as their premier carbon filter brand. With Culligan’s investment, Omnipure remains committed to continuing the company’s focus on US Made, undeniable quality, customer focus and product innovation.
