Know your water.
Make your own decision.
Short, practical guides for Greater Sacramento homeowners. Start with the question that brought you here.

The chlorine smell at the tap and the crust on your showerhead need different treatment. Carbon filtration handles chlorine taste and smell; softening removes calcium and magnesium. Both are included in our whole-home package, with Legacy RO for kitchen drinking water.
