Two stages of whole-house filtration — premium Quick-Connect sediment plus CTO carbon block — in clear/translucent housings, bundled with a full year of replacement filters.

What it does

This 2-stage system installs on your main water line and treats every tap in the home from a single point. Water passes through two cartridges in sequence:

Stage 1 — Premium Quick-Connect Sediment (5 µm). A quick-connect sediment cartridge captures dirt, silt, sand, rust, and scale particles, protecting your plumbing and the carbon stage that follows. The quick-connect body means faster, tool-lite cartridge changes at service time.

Stage 2 — CTO Carbon Block (5 µm). A high-capacity carbon block reduces chlorine and the tastes and odors it causes, plus many common VOCs — for water that’s noticeably fresher to drink, cook, and shower with.

The system uses standard clear/translucent 10″ whole-house housings and 3/4″ NPT ports that match common main-line plumbing, and runs at typical household pressure (20–80 PSI). The clear sumps let you see the cartridge condition at a glance, so you know exactly when a change is due. One cartridge set comes preinstalled, and the bundle ships with a full year of replacement filters so you’re covered from install through your next annual service.

Helps reduce

With the included Quick-Connect sediment + CTO carbon block set:

On chloraminated city water, swap the Stage 2 block for a catalytic carbon cartridge. For hardness, iron, or fluoride, add the matching specialty stage — ask us and we’ll help you build the right stack.

Good to know before you buy

• This is a filtration system, not a water softener — it does not remove hardness minerals or scale.
• The CTO carbon block handles chlorine but not chloramine. If your city uses chloramine, choose a system with catalytic carbon (or swap Stage 2 for a catalytic cartridge).
• The Quick-Connect sediment cartridge is not interchangeable with a standard threaded 10″×2.5″ sediment cartridge — when reordering, match the QC-style set.
• Best installed on the main cold-water line after the meter/pressure regulator, with shutoffs before and after for easy servicing.
• Filter life depends on your water quality and household usage — heavier sediment or use means more frequent changes.
• Install the clear housings out of direct sunlight to prevent algae growth in the sumps and to extend housing life.
