WATER TREATMENT BY SUNSTORM HOME
HydroOne is our starting point for most homes. HydroDuo adds media capacity for higher demand. Both use our premium media, and both complete packages include HydroSip drinking-water RO.
THE COMPLETE WATER PACKAGE
HydroOne is the right starting point for most homes. HydroDuo adds capacity for a larger household or heavier water use. Either way, you get our premium media, HydroSip RO, and standard installation.
For Central Florida homes on city or utility water.

HydroOne™ combines whole-home filtration and ion-exchange softening in one treatment vessel, paired with a brine tank and a demand-metered control.
HydroOne brings those materials together in a compact system. Catalytic carbon treats disinfectants, KDF supports the filtration bed, and durable resin removes hardness. The digital controller measures water use and runs regeneration when the softener needs it.
Component documentation: Centaur catalytic carbon is manufactured for potable-water chloramine and hydrogen-sulfide applications and complies with ANSI/AWWA B604. Aldex C-800x10 is a 10% cross-linked strong-acid cation resin. Actual media life depends on water quality, household use, flow, and maintenance. Component documentation does not certify the complete assembled system.

HydroDuo™ separates premium filtration and softening media into dedicated vessels, increasing media capacity, contact time, and service flexibility for higher-demand homes.
HydroDuo™ gives the catalytic carbon its own vessel for contact with the water. The separate resin vessel removes hardness. The separate vessels let us size each media bed for its job and service filtration and softening independently.
The exact media quantity, tank sizing, flow rate, and programming are selected around the property. Actual media life depends on water quality, household use, flow, and maintenance. Published media certifications apply to the listed component, not automatically to the complete installed system.
Book My Free Water AssessmentWe specify the media by name because its performance matters. Here is what Centaur catalytic carbon, KDF, and Aldex resin bring to your system, with the technical details behind our choices.
Chlorine taste and odor are familiar reasons to filter water. Chloramines take more work. Centaur’s catalytic surface speeds their breakdown compared with conventional activated carbon. It also treats hydrogen sulfide, a source of rotten-egg odor. We size the carbon bed for the contact time your water needs.
KDF adds copper-zinc redox treatment to the carbon bed. Depending on the grade and water conditions, it reduces dissolved metals such as lead and mercury. It also inhibits bacterial and algal growth within the media bed, helping protect the carbon from biological fouling.
The resin exchanges calcium and magnesium for sodium to remove hardness. We choose 10% cross-linked Aldex C-800x10: higher cross-linking improves resistance to oxidative breakdown compared with conventional 8% resin. Reducing chlorine ahead of the resin helps preserve that working life.
The support bed helps distribute flow across the vessel, supports the treatment media, and reduces channeling so water has more consistent contact with the media above it.
The digital controller meters your household’s water use. It tracks actual water use, maintains reserve capacity, and automatically runs the programmed regeneration and cleaning cycles.
Catalytic carbon’s advantage is faster chloramine decomposition. Standard activated carbon also removes free chlorine and can reduce chloramines with sufficient contact time.
KDF’s bacterial-growth control applies within the media bed; it is not a whole-home disinfection claim. The KDF grade and water chemistry determine which dissolved metals it targets. KDF 55 is used for chlorine and soluble metals; KDF 85 is used for iron and hydrogen sulfide.
Higher cross-linking improves resin’s resistance to oxidation, but resin is not immune to chlorine damage. Aldex recommends keeping chlorine below 1 ppm for C-800x10. Media life also depends on temperature, water use, bed sizing, and maintenance. The Aldex listings here concern materials safety, not a certified contaminant-reduction claim for an assembled Sunstorm system.
Performance and service life depend on measured water conditions, system sizing, flow, household use, and maintenance. Component certifications and specifications apply to the listed media or component, not automatically to the complete assembled system.
HydroSip RO™ treats the smaller amount of water used for drinking, cooking, coffee, and ice through a dedicated kitchen faucet.
Every HydroSip RO™ includes a dedicated drinking-water faucet. Brushed nickel is standard, and our local team can coordinate another available finish to match your kitchen faucet. Actual production varies with feed-water pressure, temperature, and water quality.

Hydro360™ RO reduces dissolved salts and other membrane-rejected substances in the home’s water supply. We design the garage-installed system around your source water and household demand.
The Hydro360 configuration shown in our system information includes a 500-gallon tank. Your project review covers tank capacity, membrane production, delivery pressure, pretreatment, garage space, drainage, and electrical access. We explain the complete installation and ongoing care before you choose it.
