10 Stages of
Whole House Water Filtration
Each stage targets specific contaminants, ensuring you get the cleanest, safest water possible.
Sediment Filter
Removes sand, silt, and rust.
Catalytic Carbon
Eliminates chlorine & chloramines.
Blonde Resin 10%
Reduces hardness minerals.
Black Resin 10%
Further softens the water.
Coconut Shell Carbon
Removes chemicals & odors.
KDF Media
Reduces heavy metals.
Activated Carbon
Improves taste & removes VOCs.
Fine Filter
Polishes and clarifies water.
UV Light
Kills bacteria & viruses.
Final Polishing Filter
Gives water a fresh taste.
Why Inland Empire Water Needs Multi-Stage Filtration
Inland Empire tap water is among the hardest in California. Beaumont tests at 177 PPM, Banning at 249 PPM, and Moreno Valley at 197 PPM. Multiple-stage filtration isn't overkill — it's the right match for our regional water conditions. Each of the 10 stages in the HYGIA+ system addresses a specific challenge found in SoCal water supply: hardness minerals from the San Gorgonio Pass aquifer, chloramine disinfection byproducts from municipal treatment, and trace heavy metals from aging infrastructure.
| Contaminant | Found In IE Water? | HYGIA+ Stage That Removes It |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness (calcium/magnesium) | Yes — 155–249 PPM across IE cities | Stages 3 & 4 (Ion Exchange Resin) |
| Chlorine | Yes — municipal treatment | Stage 2 (Catalytic Carbon) |
| Chloramines | Yes — municipal treatment | Stage 2 (Catalytic Carbon) |
| Chromium-6 | Detected in Banning & Hemet | Stage 5 (Coconut Shell Carbon) + Stage 6 (KDF) |
| Arsenic | Detected in Hemet | Stages 5–8 (multi-stage carbon + fine filter) |
| VOCs / Pesticides | Agricultural IE history | Stage 2 + Stage 5 (Carbon stages) |
| Bacteria/Viruses | Well water risk | Stage 9 (UV Light) |

Why 10 Stages?
Each stage is specifically designed to target different contaminants, ensuring comprehensive water treatment that single-stage filters can't achieve.
