Why Water Conditioning Matters in Your Home
From strange tastes and odors to serious health risks, untreated water can affect more than just your plumbing:
- Chlorine and chloramines used in city water can irritate skin and lungs.
- Hard water minerals cause buildup in pipes, damage appliances, and leave clothes dull.
- Iron and manganese create rust stains and metallic tastes.
- Bacteria and hydrogen sulfide contribute to slime, odor, and corrosion.
- Acidic water eats away at your plumbing and fixtures.
Common water problems and their symptoms

| Clear Water Iron (Ferrous) | Yellow, brown or rusty stains on plumbing fixtures, water-using appliances and fabrics; metallic taste in foods and beverages; water is clear when drawn from the faucet but changes color, ranging from yellow to brown, when exposed to air. |

| Bacterial Iron | Same symptoms as Clear and Red Water Iron, but can have clumps or balls that may foul plumbing lines and other water-using appliances; particularly noticeable as a yellow to reddish slime in the toilet flush tank. |
| Manganese | Blackish stain on fixtures and laundry. |
| Acid Water | Blue/green or rusty stains and corrosion on plumbing fixtures and other water-using appliances. pitting of porcelain and enamel fixtures and dishes. Pin holes in copper plumbing lines. |

Take Back Your Tap: Our Water Conditioning Products
75GPD H.E.R.O.™ Reverse Osmosis System
Your first line of defense for safe, great-tasting drinking water
As public trust in municipal water quality declines, reverse osmosis (RO) offers a simple and reliable way to protect your family. The H.E.R.O.™ system provides high-efficiency filtration, removing over 99.9% of contaminants like lead, arsenic, chlorine byproducts, and microplastics. Unlike traditional RO units that waste up to 12 gallons of water per gallon of purified output, H.E.R.O.™ minimizes waste—making it both eco-friendly and wallet-friendly.
Perfect for kitchens, ice makers, coffee stations, and anywhere you want clean, crisp water.
HTO Upflow Series Conditioner
Chlorine, chloramines and organic contaminant removal—without breaking the bank
This smart two-tank system acts as both a whole-home carbon filter and a water softener—removing unpleasant chemical tastes, improving skin and hair feel, and protecting your appliances from scale buildup. The separated media beds allow for cost-effective maintenance since the carbon can be replaced independently of the resin bed.
Ideal for homeowners using city water who want soft, clean water with no chemical odor or irritation.
89 Series Water Softener
Say goodbye to hard water hassles—for good
If your dishes spot, your laundry looks dingy, or your skin feels dry after a shower, hard water may be to blame. The 89 Series softener removes calcium and magnesium that cause scaling and soap scum. Protect your plumbing, increase appliance lifespan, and enjoy smoother showers with softened water throughout your home.
Recommended for well water or municipal water sources with high hardness levels.
