WATER, EXPLAINED BY SUNSTORM
A softener, a filter, and reverse osmosis each do a different job. Start with what you want to improve. We’ll show you which treatment does the work.

A filter doesn’t automatically soften water. A softener doesn’t replace drinking-water RO. A complete package combines them.
GET TO KNOW YOUR WATER
Filtration, softening, and reverse osmosis work together. Here’s where each one makes a difference.
Filtration throughout your home.Whole-home filtration
Centaur catalytic carbon reduces chlorine taste and odor and breaks down chloramines. KDF adds dissolved-metal reduction and protection within the media bed.
Softening throughout your home.Whole-home softening
Softening removes calcium and magnesium, the minerals behind hard-water scale. You get soft water for showers, laundry, and the fixtures connected to your treated supply.
Reverse osmosis at your kitchen sink.Kitchen drinking water
HydroSip adds a membrane to reduce dissolved solids and a broad range of contaminants. Its dedicated faucet gives you drinking water for coffee, cooking, and everything you pour a glass for.
Both complete packages combine whole-home filtration and softening with HydroSip RO at the sink. Specific reduction performance depends on the installed equipment and water conditions.
