WaterBoss^® Whole House Water Filter

How does this system maintain water pressure while filtering?

Unlike point-of-use filters that create pressure drops at individual fixtures, WaterBoss whole-house systems are engineered to maintain flow rates up to 14 gallons per minute at peak demand. The system’s design ensures no noticeable pressure changes during normal shower or sink operation.

The rated continuous flow of 7 GPM accommodates typical household simultaneous use (shower + dishwasher, for example) without performance degradation. For facilities requiring higher sustained flow rates, multiple units can be installed in parallel.

What contaminants does this system actually remove?

The WaterBoss filter is certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42, specifically targeting:

• Chlorine reduction: Up to 96.9% removal of free chlorine commonly added by municipal water systems
• Taste and odor compounds: Reduces chlorine taste and sulfur odors that affect water palatability
• Sediment and particulates: Captures particles that cause cloudiness or discoloration

Critical limitation: This is an aesthetic filter, not a purification system. It does not remove dissolved minerals (hardness), heavy metals, bacteria, or other health-related contaminants. For comprehensive treatment, combine with a water softener or reverse osmosis system.

How do I know if this system fits my application?

Space requirements:

• Compact design suitable for utility closets or crawl spaces
• Requires standard 1″ plumbing connections
• Vertical mounting orientation
• Access space needed for filter cartridge replacement

Water compatibility:

• Designed for municipally treated water (pre-chlorinated)
• Input pressure range: 25-80 PSI (verify your system pressure)
• Not suitable for untreated well water without pre-filtration

Application fit:

• Best for: Chlorine taste/odor elimination, aesthetic improvement
• Not suitable for: Hard water treatment, bacterial contamination, heavy metal removal, high-sediment well water
