Whole-home filtration, the main system.

This is the system most homes start with. It installs off your main water line, so every faucet, shower and appliance in the house is on treated water.

What's actually in it

A single tank holds four media layers, with the control valve on top and the brine (salt) tank beside it:

• Carbon filtration treats the water as it enters the house, before it reaches the softening stage.
• Water softening reduces the hardness minerals that leave scale on fixtures, appliances and the water heater.
• Support bed anchors the media layers in place.
• Pressure vessel contains all four layers under pressure.

What it costs

All in: system, professional installation and warranty. The only thing that changes your final number is your home's plumbing, and we tell you upfront if that applies. Flexible financing available, no credit check.

Backed in writing. Lifetime on system dry parts, 5 years on the control valve, circuit board and filtration media, 1 year on labor and on reverse osmosis systems.

What it is covered by

Covered: lifetime on system dry parts, 5 years on the control valve, circuit board and filtration media, 1 year on labor. Coverage applies when the system is installed, operated and maintained to the manufacturer’s guidelines.

How it gets installed

The system is connected at your main water line. Most installs are straightforward utility room or garage jobs. If your home has a tougher setup, we tell you the adjusted price before any work starts, never after.

Maintenance is simple

Keep two to three bags of salt in the brine tank and check it every few months. The softener has no filters to change; it self-cleans during regeneration. The RO filters get swapped about once a year.
