The Ultimate
Water Experience.

Yes. Edmonton's municipal water is generally rated as "very hard," typically sitting around 180-200 mg/L (or 10.5 to 12 grains per gallon) due to dissolved calcium and magnesium. An intelligent softener is highly recommended to protect your plumbing infrastructure, water heater, and skin from these severe minerals.

Edmonton’s water treatment plant uses chloramine (a chemical compound of chlorine and ammonia) to disinfect the water supply. Unlike chlorine, which evaporates quickly, chloramine is exceptionally stable and remains in your water until it reaches your tap. A high-quality carbon filtration system is required to break this bond and eliminate the chemical taste and odor.

Yes, for different reasons. An ion-exchange softener removes scale and protects your entire house's plumbing, making the water perfect for washing and cleaning. A Reverse Osmosis (RO) system is installed under your sink to hyper-purify your actual drinking water, removing absolutely everything, including heavy metals, fluoride, and chloramine.

For our architectural-grade systems, standard carbon pre-filters typically need replacement every 6 to 12 months, depending on the severity of the spring runoff in the North Saskatchewan River. Reverse Osmosis membranes can last 2-4 years, and our intelligent softeners backwash their own resin beads automatically every few days to essentially last a decade with minimal maintenance.
