Thank you so much to the most helpful customer service for answering all of my questions I had before purchasing our water system. My husband and I had been searching for a system for our home and found the best one! We highly recommend evo3000!
Great system! Fairly easy to install also

All Kind systems are made with certified components and designed for peak performance. Cities and Municipalities often vary the amount of chemicals they introduce into your water throughout the year and in doing so it can affect the longevity of your filter. Replacing your filters once a year ensures that your system is operating at peak performance at all times.
The Kind filters also utilize a Catalytic Activated Coconut Shell Carbon Block technology giving the best filtration possible without the carbon dust, channeling, and flow issues associated with loose granular coal base carbon found in traditional tank-style filters. Simply put, whole-house water filtration has evolved and so has the way you filter your water.
