Choose Your Size
| Media Volume | Tank Size | Best For | Connections |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0 Cu Ft | 9″ x 48″ Mineral Tank | 1–2 bathroom homes | Standard 1″ In/Out |
| 1.5 Cu Ft | 10″ x 54″ FRP Vessel (Black/Blue/Almond) | 2–3 bathroom homes | High-Flow 1″ In/Out |
| 2.0 Cu Ft | 12″ x 52″ FRP Vessel (Black/Blue/Almond) | 3–4+ bathroom homes, larger households | High-Flow 1″ In/Out |
Not sure which size fits your home? As a general guide: 1.0 cu ft covers most 1–2 bathroom homes, 1.5 cu ft is a good fit for 2–3 bathrooms or higher daily water use, and 2.0 cu ft is built for larger households needing extended capacity between media changes.
If you want fluoride out of more than just your kitchen sink, a whole house system is the way to do it. This bone char filtration line treats every faucet in your home from one installation point — drinking water, cooking water, shower water, all of it — and it’s sized to match your household, not a one-size-fits-all tank.
Powerful Fluoride & Contaminant Removal
Every size in this lineup uses the same high-quality bone char carbon — widely recognized as one of the most effective media types for reducing fluoride from water. Unlike standard activated carbon, bone char contains a porous hydroxyapatite matrix, a calcium phosphate structure with surface ions that readily bind to fluoride through adsorption and ion exchange.
Beyond fluoride, bone char is a genuine multi-contaminant media. It’s known to reduce or remove:
- Heavy Metals: Lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, copper, and iron
- Chemicals: Pesticides, herbicides, chlorine, benzene, and VOCs
- Other Contaminants: Fertilizers, radon, uranium, and radium
Note: fluoride reduction is bone char’s most established, widely documented function. The additional contaminants listed reflect bone char’s known adsorption properties and are not independently certified for every item on this list — actual results vary depending on your specific water composition.
Why the Manual Backwash Valve Matters
This system uses a manual backwash valve rather than a simple in/out connection. Over time, sediment and particles settle into the media bed and can compact it, which reduces flow and filtration efficiency. A manual backwash lets you periodically flush the tank — reversing water flow to lift and resettle the bone char bed — which helps maintain performance and extends the usable life of the media between full replacements.
It’s simple, mechanical, and doesn’t require electricity or a programmed timer — just a manual valve turn when it’s due.
Why Whole House Filtration?
A whole house system treats water before it can be ingested, inhaled as vapor during a hot shower, or absorbed through the skin while bathing. Because of the large filter bed depth in a tank-based system like this, filtration is more thorough than a small cartridge filter provides — without the water pressure drop you’d get from a compact, solid-block filter at the point of entry.
What’s Included
- FRP mineral tank, pre-filled with bone char media (size per your selection)
- Manual backwash control valve
- Standard 1″ in/out connections
- Tank color options: Black, Blue, or Almond (availability may vary by size)
Recommended add-on: Pair this system with a 10″ Big Blue sediment pre-filter to protect the bone char media from debris and extend its service life.
Maintenance & Longevity
Point-of-use filters typically handle around 5,000 gallons before needing a change. These whole house systems are rated for approximately 100,000 gallons — for an average family of four, that generally works out to about one media change per year, though actual longevity depends on your household’s water usage and fluoride levels.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which size I need?
Bathroom count is the simplest guide: 1.0 cu ft fits most 1–2 bathroom homes, 1.5 cu ft suits 2–3 bathrooms or higher water use, and 2.0 cu ft is built for larger households. If your household uses more water than average, sizing up gives you a longer stretch between media changes.
What does the manual backwash valve actually do?
It lets you periodically reverse water flow through the tank to lift and resettle the media bed, clearing out trapped sediment and maintaining flow performance — without needing to fully replace the bone char media each time.
How is this different from a standard in/out valve system?
An in/out valve simply directs water flow through the tank with no backwash capability — when the media needs attention, you open the tank manually. A manual backwash valve gives you a way to refresh the media bed periodically without a full teardown, which can extend time between full media replacements.
Do I need electricity to run this system?
No. The manual backwash valve operates without electricity or programming — you control it by hand whenever a backwash is needed.
Pick the size that matches your home, and get fluoride-reduced water at every tap.
