Whole Home Water Filter

Homes where the water already arrives soft but the taste and the pipework need attention. Some Palm Beach County utilities soften at the plant, Boca Raton among them, so there the money goes further on carbon filtration for the taste and smell of the disinfectant, plus reverse osmosis at the kitchen tap. The free test at your sink shows which side of that line your home sits on, in about 15 minutes.

Sediment, dirt, rust and the particulate matter that comes with older plumbing. As a point-of-entry system it treats all the water entering the house, through granular activated coconut shell carbon over polishing gravel. That is the same carbon our softener systems use for chlorine and chloramine, so the water also tastes and smells cleaner at every tap. Rusty color and sediment are the aesthetic problems EPA's secondary standards describe, and catching them here keeps pipes, fixtures and pressure in good shape.

Very little. It is 100% maintenance free, with no salt to refill, no drain to plumb in and nothing to remember. If your home has older pipework or a lot of sediment, a Pre Sediment Filter ahead of it catches the grit first and helps the whole system last longer.

Both run without salt or a drain, but they do different jobs. The filter cleans the water: carbon for taste and smell, and it catches sediment and rust. The Whole Home Salt-Free Conditioner works on hardness, changing the minerals so they are far less likely to form scale. Hard water points to a softener or the conditioner; water that already arrives soft points here. Either way the free test sets one exact price, installation included.
