Best whole house water treatment systems
The best home water treatment systems options for homeowners across the U.S.
How to get the best quality tap water in your home?
1. Whole house carbon filter
A whole house water filter with all-natural coconut shell carbon is ideal for people concerned about the quality of water coming into their home. The carbon or “charcoal” is made from natural coconut shells that go through a process allowing microscopic pores to capture and remove a wide range of contaminants in the water like chlorine, volatile organic compounds, industrial solvents, and more while also improving the taste and smell of the water.
2. Salt-free water softener alternative
A salt free water softener alternative or “conditioner” is an anti-scale system that uses template assisted crystallization or similar methods to treat hard water without salt like traditional ion exchange systems. These salt free softeners suspend the calcium and magnesium that makes up hard water so that it cannot stick or create scale while the water runs through the home. The damaging effects or hard water can create havoc on plumbing, facets and water using appliances. These environmentally friendly water softener alternatives don't use harsh salts, or waste any water, are maintenance free and add nothing to the water.
3. Carbon filter and salt free softener alternative combo
The all-around best option for homeowners across the U.S. that have both contaminate issues and hard water is a carbon filter and softener alternative combo. These combination systems use the carbon to filter the water and a salt free softener alternative to condition the hard water. Most homeowners across the U.S. have contaminant worries as well as hard water issues. The combo systems solve these issues creating the best of both worlds.
4. Reverse osmosis system
Another option with homeowners is installing a under sink reverse osmosis system. These systems easily install under the sink with a dedicated facet producing ultra-purified drinking water on demand. A storage tank is used to hold the water connecting to the facet making it easy to dispense whenever you need it. A reverse osmosis system removes an extremely wide range of harmful contaminants up to 99% including heavy metals, lead and more.
How do I know what’s in my water? How do I know what I need?
If you are a homeowner, water quality is a major issue. Issues range from water hardness, a dull chlorine taste and smell, pharmaceuticals, urban runoff and more. Homeowners are looking for a solution to the water and worries.
If you are on city water, meaning you get your water from a water district, the best option is to do a google search for “your city + zip code” and “recent water quality report”. The first or second listing will provide you with a PDF from the city that you can dig into and see what is in the water. If you are on well water, you should be getting a private report done every few years to see what is in your well.

Traditionally, this is how the water treatment industry would work: Someone would come into your home and test your water hardness. And, because the majority of water in America has some calcium and magnesium, it would usually pull up some hardness rating. It was easy to sell you on monthly salt subscriptions or monthly exchange tanks – the same subscription model we discussed above. For years, traditional water softener dealers were getting away with convincing homeowners that hard water is a contaminant. Let's make this very clear: Hard water is in no way, shape, or form, a "contaminant.” In fact, it’s not bad for you at all.
Because, with traditional salt-based systems, the calcium and magnesium is taken out and replaced with sodium during the process of ion exchange, usually the next step is to add a reverse osmosis system in the kitchen in order to remove the sodium and make it safe for drinking.

Essentially, a salesman came into your home and convinced you that magnesium and calcium (which 43% of Americans actually take supplements for), sold you a system to replace that magnesium and calcium with sodium (which no one thinks is good for you in excess), and then sold you another system to remove that sodium from your drinking water.
What’s worse is that, in most cases, these water softeners had no carbon filter, so every other outlet in your home was using unfiltered dirty chlorinated tap water filled with sodium. Oops!
Why Filtersmart is the best solution for your water quality issues.
The new way of doing things cuts out all the things that were wrong with the water treatment industry. It makes for a much healthier, environmentally low-cost solution to homeowners.
Nowadays, people are more concerned about removing chlorine, chloramine, volatile organic compounds, pharmaceuticals, and other chemical compounds in the water than with removing natural minerals like calcium and magnesium. Some of the purest spring water wells in the world are filled with these healthy natural minerals.
To treat the effects of hard water, we sell an anti-scale, salt-free water softener alternative that addresses the effects of hard water without the need to add salt or sodium.
So, the “new way” of water treatment is to filter the water and treat the hardness with anti-scale media, like with our FS-1500, a best-selling water treatment and filter combo.
