What you get

Carbon-only system: catalytic carbon, no softening. It doesn't reduce hardness, so it won't prevent scale or spots from hard water.
Designed to reduce chlorine taste and odor.
Built for houses on city water.

Who it's for

You want less chlorine taste and smell at every tap, and scale isn't your problem. If your utility's hardness is under about 4 grains per gallon, or scale doesn't bother you, a carbon-only system may be enough. Your home's water can differ.

Want softening too?

Home Base adds the softening resin, designed to reduce water hardness.

Drinking water at the kitchen sink?

Add the HW800 RO. Faucet sold separately.
