Description
You’ve tried filters before, but the chlorine smell lingers, and the worry about PFAS chemicals hasn’t gone away. The water tastes off, and no matter what you do, it feels like you’re just masking the problem, not fixing it.
The lingering issues your previous filters missed
Chlorine and chloramine leave that sharp smell and chemical taste in your water. You scrub at toilet tanks stained with orange rings that won’t come off. Showers leave a residue, and the water sometimes smells like a swimming pool. Worse, the PFAS “forever chemicals” — substances many filters can’t handle — stay right there in your tap water. These are not just minor annoyances; they are persistent contaminants that standard filters often fail to reduce effectively.
How the control head manages the whole process automatically
The heart of this system is an automatic control head designed for PFAS and fluoride reduction. It runs service, backwash, and rinse cycles on its own, keeping the media inside fresh and effective without you needing to intervene. The control head senses when the media needs flushing to clear accumulated contaminants, saving you water and extending the life of the filter. You set it up once, and it keeps working quietly in the background — no guesswork, no timers to reset.
Why catalytic activated carbon is the key to tackling tough city water chemicals
This system uses catalytic activated carbon, a special form of carbon media that’s better at reducing chloramine, chlorine, and hydrogen sulfide — the usual suspects behind that chemical taste and smell. It also helps with other troublesome by-products like haloacetic acids and MTBE, chemicals that come from disinfectants and industrial sources. This media is chosen because it adsorbs (meaning it traps) these contaminants effectively, making your water cleaner and more pleasant across the entire house.
The tank that holds it all and how its size matters
The filtration media are housed inside a sturdy pressure vessel designed for whole-house use. While the exact tank size depends on your home’s water flow and usage, it’s sized to handle a typical single-family home’s supply. This ensures water is treated before it reaches any faucet or appliance, giving you consistent quality throughout. We confirm the precise vessel size as part of the ordering process, based on your specific needs and water conditions.
Who benefits most from this system’s capacity and design
This system fits a typical single-family home connected to a city water supply where concerns include chlorine, chloramine, PFAS, and other common municipal water contaminants. If you have higher water demand or a larger household, you may want to consider a system sized for greater flow or capacity. Conversely, if your water use is unusually low or you live in a very small home, a smaller unit might be sufficient.
What you get when you order from Water Softener Plus
The package includes a lifetime warranty on the tank — that is, the pressure vessel you rely on for years to come. The control valve and electronics come with the manufacturer's own warranty terms. A bypass valve is included at no extra cost, letting you isolate the filter during maintenance without shutting off water to your home. For the drain line, 10 feet of discharge hose is also part of the box. All this ships from Tampa with free U.S. delivery.
Moving forward with a system sized and matched to your home
When you order, we’ll confirm the exact tank size and configuration based on your household flow and water testing. This ensures the system you receive is factory matched to work effectively from day one. You’re not buying a one-size-fits-all unit but a carefully selected setup aimed at your specific water conditions. Ordering online is straightforward, and we offer a 90-day money-back guarantee for peace of mind.
Who this size is right for
In terms of sizing, this is a whole-house system, plumbed into the main line so every tap in the house is treated. On a typical 1-inch service line that means a single-family home.
There is no published capacity figure for this item, so we size it from your water rather than from a table. Send your peak flow rate and a water test and we will confirm what you need - it costs nothing and it avoids buying twice.
