The vast majority of municipal water systems use chlorine or chloramines to treat water. Chlorine and chloramine (chlorine plus ammonia) are chemicals used to kill living organisms like bacteria and viruses. This is effective for treating your water at the source and delivering it to you via an old infrastructure, but the problem is, it also causes dry skin and hair and generates an unpleasant taste and odor. Our Whole House Carbon Systems filter out the unpleasant taste and smell to provide clean filtered water from every tap and shower, and to all appliances without stripping out beneficial mineral nutrients.
Our CS Carbon is standard granular activated carbon, which is what is most commonly found in most whole house carbon filters
Our CX Carbon is catalytic carbon, which is specially formulated for the removal of chloramine, which is the primary disinfectant in over 80% of municipal water supplies. While more expensive, CX is also a higher performing media.
Please see the following link for more information regarding the differences in the carbon:

Traditional water softener or water softener/filter combination does add a very small amount of sodium to the water. The process utilized is an ion exchange, and sodium ions are added to the water in exchange for the removal of calcium and magnesium. Water softeners also have the ability to remove low levels of iron. In certain circumstances your service provider may recommend one of these systems or, if you prefer the feel of soft water, this may be the method you elect to have.
We typically recommend the whole house filter and Flow-Tech Home Anti-Scale System which do not add anything to the water. The Anti-Scale System renders hard water minerals harmless, producing a more efficient plumbing system. The filter provides sparkling clean, spring like water, often superior to bottled water, to every faucet in your home: water the way nature intended it!
The Flow-Tech Home Anti-Scale System is completely maintenance free.
The Whole House Carbon Filter will last longer than most people will remain in their home, but should the media become exhausted, it can be re-bedded at a reasonable cost by your installer. Exact life expectancy is determined by individual water quality, the amount of media in the tank and consumption patterns.
Flow-Tech Water Filtration Systems will reduce the need for bottled water. The Flow-Tech Home Anti-Scale system will eliminate the need for salt service required with traditional water softeners, and expensive media replacement required by media based anti-scale systems. Both systems help to make your water as friendly as possible to your plumbing system and water using appliances, extending productive life and improving efficiency.
Plumber’s Choice sells exclusively to reputable, licensed service contractors, and does not set retail pricing. However, the Flow-Tech Systems generally pay for themselves in a relatively short period of time. We recommend that you contact your preferred service contractor for pricing. If they do not currently carry the Flow-Tech line of water treatment products, they may contact us to determine if they are eligible to carry our products.
The Flow-Tech Home Anti-Scale System unit carries a standard five-year electrical warranty, but unless it is tampered with, gets wet or extremely dirty, the system should last as long a standard radio. Some dealers may offer an extended warranty.
The Whole House Carbon Filter carries a 10 year warranty on the tank and a five year warranty on the head and media.
The Flow-Tech Home Anti-Scale System unit comes in a waterproof enclosure, which allows for interior or exterior installation.
The Whole House Filter can be installed outdoors, but you need a weather cover installed to protect the valve.
The Flow-Tech Home Anti-Scale System is capable of protecting any home with up to a 1.5” supply. In circumstances where there is a larger main line, the installer may elect to use a small commercial application.
The Whole House Filter is offered in a variety of sizes based on your water main and flow requirements. Your licensed and trained installer will be best able to assist you with this after inspecting your plumbing system.
