Our 5-micron high-performance Catalytic Activated Coconut Shell Carbon Block filter uses the most advanced whole house water filtration technology to protect against Chlorine, Chloramine, and other harmful chemicals commonly found in municipal/city water, which also affect its taste and odor. The carbon block immobilizes carbon particles to ensure consistent performance and prevent water channeling for maximum contaminant removal.

Effective Against VOCs and Chemical Contaminants

With a uniform pore structure and increased contact time, the carbon block effectively reduces contaminants like Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Total Trihalomethanes (THMs), and Haloacetic Acids (HAAs).

Utilizes chemical-free physical alteration with a strong quartz UV lamp to disinfect water by destroying 99.9% of bacteria including E.coli, viruses, and chlorine-resistant microorganisms like cryptosporidium and giardia—without changing taste or smell.

Chemical-Free Disinfection

Unlike city water treatment that relies on chemical disinfection with chlorine or chloramines, the Kind UV System uses UV light to neutralize microorganisms that chemicals can’t, offering a more complete level of protection.

Peace of Mind from Boil Water Notices

Ideal for added peace of mind during boil water alerts, which often result from E. coli detection or pressure drops in municipal systems that can allow pathogens to enter the water supply.

Reviews

We have had installed and

"We have had installed and in use for over 1 week now. The water is so much better then before the chemical taste of the town water is gone. The water is clear. Great filtration system. Thanks"

— Leonard S. (5/5)

Filtered water!

"Love it. My city supplied water was heavy in chlorine and many other chemicals. All gone. Water is clean , softer, no bad tastes"

— Don V. (5/5)

Must Have

"I had this item in my garage for a couple of months before I could get a professional plumber to install. His schedule was that backed up, but I really like my plumber. He had no issues installing. After installation, I immediately loved the gallons per minute flow. In addition, the taste is superb. I no longer have to purchase 3-5 gallons of water to drink. I can now safely drink from the faucet. It is also great drinking for all our pets! I am also hoping this will help with our piping throughout the home."

— Patricia M. (5/5)

I used a handy man

"I used a handy man to install the unit. It was leaking after the filter put together. The rubber rings were sent to put it on . We were able to put the unit together and it has been working fine."

— Yen P. (5/5)

The product was delivered but

"The product was delivered but one of the filters was not tightened enough so it leaked. I took it off and found the washer was not square so I corrected it and all was good"

— gary m. (5/5)

So Happy!!

"I spent a lot of time watching multiple YouTube reviews on different water systems. I ultimately decided I would rather change a filter annually than have a much larger system that "lasts" for 10 years and then have to perform a large undertaking to empty and replace the contents (SpringWell). Once the old water fed through our house, the Kind water was immediately noticeable. And I love knowing that the ice maker and every faucet in the house contains the same amazing water."

— Ron K. (5/5)

Q&A

FAQ

What does the E1000 system do?

The E1000 is a whole-house filtration and salt-free softening system designed for City Water to improve water quality for your entire home and provide better than bottle quality water from every tap. It reduces chlorine, sediment, and other impurities.

E1000 Component Certifications

NSF/ANSI - 42 (Chlorine, taste, and odor reduction, Material safety and structural Integrity)
NSF/ ANSI - 61 (Drinking water safety)
NSF/ANSI - 372 (Lead free)

Does the E-1000 soften water?

No, but upgrading to the E-3000 adds on a ESOFT® cartridge that uses Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC) to condition the water, preventing scale buildup without adding salt. Unlike a salt-based system systems that chemically removes minerals such as calcium and magnesium, the ESOFT® system retains beneficial minerals, hence some minor evaporative deposits may still occur.

There is no maintenance such as heavy and costly bags of salt and no waste water or brine discharge which has caused salt-based systems to be banned or restricted in several states or municipalities in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan Minnesota, New Mexico, Texas and Wisconsin.

How long do the filters last and what maintenance does the system require?

Regular filter changes (every 6-12 months depending on your water quality) is the only main maintenance task required for E-1000. Filter replacement is very easy and only takes a few minutes, you do not need a plumber for these tasks. E-1000 Replacement

Will it improve taste/odor of my water?

How much space does it take to install?

It typically requires about 3–4 feet of wall space (doesn’t require any floor space) and should be installed in a location that is accessible for maintenance.

Will it affect my water pressure?

When installed correctly, the E1000 is designed to maintain strong water pressure of 15 GPM (gallons per minute) for your home. This is good enough to run up to 5 showers and appliances (such as dishwashers or washers ) at the same time with no noticeable drop in water pressure.

Does it require electricity?
