City water is treated to meet minimum safety standards, but it can still contain chlorine, chloramines, sediment, hardness minerals, and trace contaminants. A home system improves taste, removes unwanted chemicals, and protects plumbing and appliances.

Water Softener: Uses salt or potassium to remove hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium.

Water Conditioner (Salt-Free): Utilizes media such as TAC to prevent scale formation without the need for salt or brine discharge. Ideal for city water customers who want low-maintenance, eco-friendly solutions.

Yes. Activated carbon systems are designed to remove chlorine, chloramines, and other chemicals responsible for unpleasant taste and odor, making your tap water safer and better-tasting.

Point-of-use filters (like fridge filters) only treat a small amount of water. A whole-house system ensures that all the water in your home, including water used for showers, laundry, and appliances, is filtered and protected.

It depends on your water quality goals.

- If you want to remove chlorine and improve taste, → Carbon filtration.

- If you want to prevent hard water scale → Salt-free conditioner or softener.

- If you need additional protection from contaminants, → Consider UV or reverse osmosis add-ons.
