Whole-Home System

Whole-Home Filtration & Softening System

Soft, clean water from every tap in your home.

Forge whole-home water softening and filtration system with brine tank

Our whole-home system treats your water where it enters the house, reducing hardness, scale, and chlorine taste at the point of entry — so every faucet, shower, and appliance gets better water.

$2,099

Unit price only. Installation arranged separately with an independent licensed plumber, who you pay directly.

Overview

Hard water and chlorine take a quiet toll on a home. Scale builds up inside pipes and appliances, spots your dishes and fixtures, and leaves skin and hair feeling dry. Chlorine affects the taste and smell of every glass of water you pour.

A whole-home system solves this at the source. It installs where the main water line enters your house and treats everything downstream, so every tap — kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, and every appliance — receives softened, carbon-filtered water. There's no need for separate filters at individual fixtures.

The result is water that's gentler on your home and better to live with: less scale, longer-lasting appliances, softer laundry, and cleaner-tasting water throughout the house.

Best for

Homeowners who want softer, cleaner water at every tap throughout the house. Add a reverse osmosis system if you also want purified drinking water at the kitchen sink.
