WHAT IT FIXES
Made for East Valley water.
- Chlorine, “pool water” taste and smell
- Chlorine byproducts (THMs and HAAs)
- Lead and mercury
- Hard water, scale and spots
- Dry skin and hair from chlorine and minerals
For PFAS and arsenic in drinking water, add reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink.
HOW IT WORKS
-
KDF media
A copper-zinc media reduces chlorine, lead and mercury, and keeps bacteria from growing in the tank.
-
Catalytic carbon
Grabs chlorine, THMs, HAAs, VOCs and pesticides on its huge surface. It also breaks down chloramine if a utility ever switches to it.
-
Softening resin
Removes calcium and magnesium. With chlorine filtered out first, the resin lasts longer.
-
Quartz bed
Spreads water evenly through the tank so filtering and softening stay consistent.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Fair questions.
Do I need a filter if I have a softener?
If chlorine taste, smell or dry skin bothers you, yes. A softener doesn’t remove chlorine. The combo does both in one system.
What’s the difference between catalytic carbon and regular carbon?
Both remove chlorine. Catalytic carbon is a higher grade that lasts longer and also breaks down chloramine, which some utilities switch to over time.
Does the Whole House Combo remove PFAS?
The carbon reduces some PFAS across the home, but it isn’t a dedicated PFAS barrier. Reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink is.
Which size do I need?
The single tank fits most homes with up to 5 people. Bigger households, or homes with more bathrooms, do better with the two-tank system.
KEEP READING
- Do I need a water softener and a filter? A softener fixes hard water. A filter fixes chlorine taste, smell and chemicals. They solve different problems, so many East Valley homes use both, combined in one whole house system. For drinking water, add reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink.
- Why does my water taste like chlorine in Queen Creek and San Tan Valley? Cities add chlorine to keep water safe on its way through the pipes. Queen Creek reports average levels around 0.76–0.95 mg/L. That’s within EPA limits, but enough to taste and smell, especially in summer. A whole house carbon filter removes it at every tap.
- How much does a water softener cost in Arizona? Installed, a water softener in the East Valley costs about $1,750–$1,950 depending on size. A softener with a whole house filter is $2,550–$3,250, a salt-free conditioner is $2,750, and a reverse osmosis drinking water system is $775–$850.
