Catch sediment first
For water carrying dirt, sand, silt, or rust, we add a sediment prefilter ahead of the treatment tanks.

What changes after your system is in?
Start with the water you shower in, then the water you drink. Tell us about dry skin, brittle hair, or feeling itchy after a shower. Here’s what each part of the package does throughout the house.
Remove chlorine before the shower
Whole-home carbon removes chlorine before water reaches every household tap and shower, including the kids’ bath. It treats the bathroom supply as well as the water at the kitchen tap.
A better wash, with less soap scum
Soft water lets soap lather more easily and cuts the mineral-and-soap residue left on skin, hair, and shower surfaces.
Spend less time scrubbing mineral spots
Remove the hardness minerals before they leave new deposits on fixtures and glasses.
Refill at home
Legacy RO gives you filtered drinking and cooking water from its own kitchen faucet. Keep a reusable bottle handy.
Cut the scale building up inside equipment
Softening reduces the hardness minerals that form scale in water heaters and other water-using appliances.
Legacy Premier: filtration and softening for your whole home
Two tanks do two essential jobs. One filters the water. The other removes the hardness minerals behind scale and mineral spots. Together, they treat the water before it reaches your household taps.
- The carbon stage removes chlorine from water serving household taps and showers
- Softening removes calcium and magnesium that form scale
- Sized for your household
- The softener recharges automatically
- A licensed installer handles the setup
Legacy RO: stop buying water by the case
Make your kitchen the place you fill your glass and refill your bottle. Legacy RO adds multi-stage treatment beneath the sink and delivers drinking and cooking water through its own faucet. It comes with your whole-home package.
- Multi-stage reverse osmosis for drinking and cooking
- Remineralization for finished-water taste
- Stored drinking water ready at the dedicated faucet
- Dedicated drinking-water faucet included

Follow the water through your system.
Each stage has a job. We match the equipment to your water and household demand, then install the stages together.
Filter and soften
Carbon removes the chlorine taste and smell. The softener removes the minerals that leave scale and spots. Treated water then flows to your household taps.
Finish at the kitchen faucet
Legacy RO adds a separate filtration step for drinking and cooking. Fill a glass or refill your bottle at the included faucet.
What’s inside the tanks?
Carbon removes the chlorine taste and smell. Softening resin removes the hardness minerals that form scale. The RO membrane separates dissolved substances from your kitchen drinking water.
You’ll know the equipment, installation work, and maintenance plan before you approve the job. Legacy RO’s remineralization stage adjusts the finished water’s mineral profile and taste.

How much does a Family First Water system cost?
Book a visit and we’ll put a complete installed price in writing. We check the water-main connection, equipment space, kitchen cabinet, and any extra plumbing work first. Your quote covers Legacy Premier filtration and softening, Legacy RO, the dedicated faucet, installation, and the upkeep to plan for. You’ll have a real total to compare before you decide.
Does the whole-home system need salt?
Yes. Salt recharges the softening resin so it can keep removing hardness minerals. We’ll show you where to add it, how to check the level, and what to expect for your household’s water use. We explain salt and filter care before you buy.
Does Legacy RO supply every faucet in the house?
Legacy RO supplies your dedicated kitchen faucet for drinking and cooking. Legacy Premier filters and softens the water at the main line for your household taps. You get both systems in one package, and we’ll show you where each goes during the visit.
What should I compare in a whole-home water system quote?
Compare the total installed price, exact equipment, plumbing work, salt and filter care, and written warranty. Ask whether extra site work is included. Our quote spells out the complete package so you can compare the whole job, not just the price of a tank.
