Home Water Filtration Systems
The complete health and comfort of your New England home doesn’t stop with your indoor air quality, so we don’t either. We’re proud to offer a variety of water filtration systems, to ensure the water you drink, cook with, and wash with is the purest it can be.
Benefits of Water Filtration
Investing in a water filtration system offers numerous benefits that will make your home healthier, cleaner, and more enjoyable. Removing contaminants such as sediment, chlorine, heavy metals, pesticides, and bacteria from your water means fewer health worries – especially for kids, seniors, and weakened immune systems. Added benefit? It tastes better.
How about cost savings? No more plastic water bottles saves money and is friendlier on the environment. A filtration system keeps your pipes and appliances from coffee makers to water heaters in better shape by preventing scale buildup.
Investing in clean healthy water that tastes fresh, is odor-free, and cost-effective is a win-win for your health, comfort, budget, the environment, and your healthy home.
What Water Filtration System is Right for You?

How is your Water Quality?
Identify the specific contaminants in your water by getting a water quality report from your municipal water supplier or conducting a water quality test.
What are your Filtration Needs?
Now that you know the contaminants present in your water, determine your goals. From general filtration to targeting specific contaminants, different technologies meet different needs.
What’s your budget?
Prices vary quite a bit depending on the filtration system. Consider the cost of your initial purchase, installation, and ongoing maintenance. Also consider that some systems require professional installation, while some can easily be done yourself.
Check the Certifications and Reviews
Certifications by reputable organizations like NSF International and the Water Quality Association (WQA) ensure the system meets specific standards. Checking out reviews is a great way to help you decide after you’ve narrowed down your top choices.
Water Filter Installation and Maintenance

Featured Product: IonX5 Water Filter
The IonX5 Treatment System is a comprehensive approach that improves water quality by combining filtration with ionization.
The activated carbon filter cartridge removes contaminants like chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sediment, and other particles. Then an ionization process safely improves the taste and odor while reducing the formation of scale deposits by minerals like calcium and magnesium.
- Eliminates bad taste and smells associated with chlorine by-products
- Softens water, eliminates scale buildup from hard water deposits, and helps remove existing scale
- Uses premium NSF-certified medias
- Five-level filtering leaves you with clean water and peace of mind.
Water Filtration Technologies Compared
Different technologies address different needs and contaminants. Let’s compare some common water filtration technologies:
Activated Carbon Filters
Traps and absorbs water contaminants as they pass through.
Pros: Improves taste and smell of water. Relatively inexpensive. Easy to install.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems
Pushes water through a semipermeable membrane to remove a wide range of contaminants.
Pros: Very effective at removing bacteria, viruses, some chemicals, and dissolved solids.
Cons: Wastes more water during filtration. Can be slower and require more maintenance.
UV (Ultraviolet) Filters:
Uses ultraviolet light to disinfect water by inactivating bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms.
Pros: Chemical-free. Effective against microbiological contaminants. Doesn’t alter water taste or odor.
Cons: Requires electricity. Doesn’t remove chemicals or sediment.
Ion Exchange Filters:
Exchanges ions in the water with ions attached to a resin bed within the system. This can remove hard minerals like calcium, magnesium, and other contaminants, depending on the specific system.
Pros: Chemical-free. Effective against microbiological contaminants. Doesn’t alter water taste or odor.
Cons: Requires electricity. Doesn’t remove chemicals or sediment.
