Whole-home filtration, the flagship system.

This is the system most Chester County homes need. The Chester Valley corridor is underlain by carbonate rock, and the groundwater it produces tends to be hard. Hard water leaves scale on fixtures and shortens the life of water heaters and appliances. This system handles it all, off your main line so every faucet, shower, and appliance in the house gets better water.

What's in the system

A single tank handles both softening and carbon filtration, with the control valve on top and the brine tank beside it. Here's what the system does, layer by layer:

• Carbon filtration removes chlorine, chloramines, and chemical compounds before the water reaches the softening resin. Fixes taste and smell at every tap.
• Ion-exchange softening resin does the hardness removal, swapping calcium and magnesium ions for sodium. Better for hair, skin, appliances, and your water heater.
• Premium control valve manages the regeneration cycle automatically. We use a quality valve, not the cheapest one available.
• Under-sink reverse osmosis (included in the flagship bundle) gives you a dedicated drinking-water faucet. The final polish on the water you actually consume.

What it costs

About $2,999 installed, taxes included, for a standard city-water home. A comparable system from the brand-name guys runs $5,000 to $12,000. Flexible financing available, no credit check.

How it gets installed

A professional local installer connects the system at your main line, usually within the week of your order. Most installs are straightforward utility room or garage jobs. If your home has a tougher setup, we tell you the adjusted price before any work starts, never after.

Maintenance is simple

Keep two to three bags of salt in the brine tank and check it every few months. Salt is about $7 a bag. The softener has no filters to change; it self-cleans during regeneration. The RO filters get swapped about once a year.
