Complete Guide to Water Filtration Systems

Removes chlorine, VOCs, pesticides, and organic chemicals

Used in point-of-use filters and whole-house systems

Reduces bad taste and odors

Activated carbon absorbs contaminants through a process called adsorption. Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) or Carbon Block Filters are the most common types.

Households wanting better-tasting water

Municipal water with high chlorine levels

People sensitive to chemical exposure

Extends appliance lifespan and improves water heater efficiency

Removes calcium & magnesium, preventing scale buildup

Used in homes with hard water problems

Water softeners replace hard minerals with sodium or potassium ions through an ion exchange process.

Preventing soap scum buildup in showers and sinks

Homes with hard water causing appliance damage

Improving skin and hair health

Kills 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and parasites

Provides chemical-free disinfection

Used in well water systems and areas with bacterial risks

Water is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, destroying bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens at a DNA level.

Homes using private wells

Areas with boil water notices or bacterial contamination

People wanting chemical-free water disinfection

Removes iron, manganese, and sulfur, preventing rust stains

Eliminates rotten egg smells (hydrogen sulfide gas).

Protects plumbing, fixtures, and appliances from iron buildup.

Water passes through an oxidation and filtration system that turns dissolved iron and sulfur into solid particles, which are then filtered out using specialized media. Some systems use air injection, Greensand, or Katalox for enhanced iron removal.

Homes with red, brown, or orange stains in sinks, tubs, or laundry.

Well water users with iron, manganese, or sulfur issues.

Homeowners experiencing metallic-tasting water or bad odors.

Removes sediment, chlorine, and heavy metals.

Improves taste and odor.

Works as a whole-house or point-of-use filtration system.

Water passes through specialized filtration media designed to trap different contaminants. Common media types include carbon for chlorine removal, KDF for heavy metals, and sediment layers for particles like sand and rust.

Homes with high chlorine levels, sediment, or heavy metals.

Households looking for whole-house water improvement.

Pre-filtering water before reverse osmosis or UV purification.

Adds back calcium, magnesium, and potassium after RO filtration.

Balances water pH levels for a natural, alkaline taste.

Improves hydration and essential mineral intake.

A remineralization cartridge is installed after a reverse osmosis system, replenishing minerals stripped out during purification. Some systems use natural calcium and magnesium filters, while others use electrolyte infusion technology.

Homes using reverse osmosis systems for ultra-purified water.

People looking for alkaline or mineral-rich drinking water.

Anyone wanting better-tasting, naturally balanced water.

Raises water pH levels for a more alkaline balance.

Adds healthy minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium.

Improves taste and potential hydration benefits.

Alkaline systems increase water pH through mineral addition or ionization technology. Some use natural mineral cartridges, while electric ionizers separate acidic and alkaline components to produce high-pH water.

Households looking for alkaline, mineral-rich drinking water.

People interested in reducing acidity in their diet.

Homes using reverse osmosis systems that remove beneficial minerals.

Treats all water entering your home

Removes sediment, chlorine, heavy metals, and contaminants

Used in homes needing full-scale filtration

Water passes through multi-stage filtration, often including sediment filters, carbon media, and KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) filters to remove a broad spectrum of contaminants.

Families needing clean water at every tap

Homes dealing with multiple water issues
