Water for Sensitive Skin & Eczema — Softener + Carbon
Hard water that carries chlorine can be harsh on your skin, stripping away natural oils and leaving behind irritation. For families with children, this can mean frequent flare-ups of eczema, uncomfortable dryness, and persistent itching. If your routine baths and showers leave skin feeling tight or aggravated, especially sensitive skin, the root cause could be the untreated water running through your home.
The system that solves it
Introducing a whole-house water softener paired with a carbon skin-care system designed specifically to protect your skin and hair from the damaging effects of hard chlorinated water. This matched system features a smart digital metered valve—options include Fleck 5600SXT, Autotrol, or Bluetooth-enabled controls—giving you precise, efficient operation and easy programming at your fingertips. The mineral tank is built to resist corrosion and meets NSF standards for quality and safety. A safety-float brine tank ensures reliable regeneration cycles without overflows. For continuous soft water supply, the system also offers an optional twin-tank setup, providing seamless 24/7 service during regeneration phases. All components are designed with a compact footprint and include a built-in bypass valve for straightforward installation and maintenance without disrupting your water supply.

By transforming your water quality on a whole-house level, this system not only softens the water but also removes chlorine and chloramine that irritate delicate skin. The result is a soothing bathing experience that supports skin health and reduces the need for excessive moisturizers or special care products.
Why it works
The heart of this water treatment system lies in its specialized media. It uses a softening resin composed of 10% cross-linked material that effectively captures and removes the minerals responsible for hard water’s filmy residue, such as calcium and magnesium. In parallel, catalytic carbon works to strip away chlorine and chloramine from the water. These chemical disinfectants, common in municipal supplies, are known to dry out skin and cause itching, especially in children with sensitive or eczema-prone skin. The dual-action of the resin and carbon ensures that your water is softened to feel silky while also being free from harsh drying agents, providing gentle and soothing water throughout your home.
Sizing it right
Choosing the correct system size depends on the hardness level of your water, the presence and concentration of chlorine or chloramine, and your household’s water usage and flow requirements. A properly sized softener will efficiently handle your daily water demand without waste or downtime. For families with multiple bathrooms or higher water consumption, the twin-tank option ensures continuous soft water availability. We offer free sizing assistance to help you select the ideal configuration tailored to your water quality and household needs, ensuring optimal performance and maximum comfort.

Common questions
Q? Will this system completely stop eczema flare-ups caused by water?
A This system significantly reduces water hardness and removes chlorine, which are common triggers for eczema irritation. While it can provide relief by making water gentler on your skin, eczema is multifaceted, so additional skincare measures may still be necessary.
Q? How often does the system regenerate or need maintenance?
A Regeneration frequency depends on your water hardness and household water use. The smart digital valve meters water usage and initiates regeneration only when necessary, optimizing salt and water consumption. Routine maintenance mainly involves refilling the brine tank with salt as needed.
Q? Can the system remove chloramine as well as chlorine?
A Yes, the catalytic carbon media is designed to remove both chlorine and chloramine from your water, effectively eliminating the chemicals that cause dryness and itching associated with treated municipal water supplies.
