When city water infiltrates your home, invisible threats like harsh chlorine and hard minerals silently erode your plumbing, stain fixtures, and deteriorate appliances. This toxic cocktail not only compromises your family’s health but also drives up energy bills and repair costs. Without whole-home protection, you’re left battling dry skin, dingy laundry, and costly wear—day after day, room after room.

How the media works

The heart of the Pentair City Whole-Home Protection System lies in its proprietary media blend: catalytic carbon combined with softening resin. Catalytic carbon excels at attacking chlorine molecules, breaking them down quickly to remove both taste and odor problems. Meanwhile, the softening resin captures hardness minerals—primarily calcium and magnesium—that cause scale deposits in your plumbing and appliances. This two-pronged approach filters out harmful chemicals and mineral contaminants before water reaches your taps, ensuring every drop you use is cleaner, softer, and safer.
