Whole House Filtration

FIVE SERIES.
ONE GOAL.

Every Aquapella whole house system shares the same purpose — clean water at every tap — but each series is built for a different home, water source, or budget. Here's how they compare.

SMART Whole House Water Filter
Flagship Series
SMART WHOLE HOUSE
WATER FILTER
Our flagship system for whole-home protection.

SMART Series filters reduce and remove a broad range of contaminants using SMART Multimedia — a custom carbon, redox alloy, and resin blend. These systems are fully customizable, ship with pre- and post-filtration, and can be paired with a water softener to handle hard water at the same time.

EAGLE Series builds on the SMART foundation, adding higher alkalinity and a more balanced pH. An ultrafiltration (UF) membrane stage is included to address microorganisms, and the system can be paired with a Salt-Free Water Conditioner to reduce scale buildup throughout the home.

Whole House Water Filtration System Benefits

A whole house filtration system means every tap, shower, and appliance gets the same clean water — not just the kitchen sink. That shows up in places you might not expect: softer skin and hair, longer-lasting clothes and appliances, and a longer life for your water heater. With a whole house system in place, there's no need to buy bottled water either — one less source of plastic waste headed for the ocean and landfill. Most importantly, your family gets healthy drinking water from every fixture in the home.

Health Advantages of Filtered Water

Water is essential to nearly every system in the body — alongside air, it's the most fundamental requirement for life. Filtering out contaminants before water reaches your glass means you get the full benefit of hydration without the extras you don't want along with it.

Drinking Clean Water Offers These Benefits and More

✓ Boosts energy levels
✓ Supports muscle health — muscle tissue is roughly 70% water
✓ Helps flush toxins from the body
✓ Keeps lungs healthy and reduces mucus buildup
✓ May help reduce ear wax buildup
✓ Keeps bowels active and functioning well
✓ Helps cleanse the urinary tract
✓ Supports healthy blood pressure regulation
✓ Provides electrolytes and essential trace minerals
✓ May reduce the risk of kidney stones
✓ Assists in transporting nutrients to cells
✓ Cushions joints by supporting healthy cartilage and discs
✓ Supports overall reduction in chronic illness risk
✓ Increases alertness and cognitive function
✓ May help with headaches — the brain is roughly 75% water
✓ Supports healthy nerve function

Keep in mind just how much of your body is made of water: blood is about 92% water, muscles and brain tissue are roughly 75% water, and even bones are about 22% water. Filtering that water before it enters your body means you get all of these benefits without the unwanted extras.

🍳 Benefits for Cooking

Filtered water carries every health benefit listed above, plus a noticeable improvement in taste — especially in things like coffee and tea. Most U.S. tap water is free of dangerous waterborne pathogens, but chlorine and its byproducts are still common. A whole house system removes those before they ever touch a pot, kettle, or baby bottle.

👕 Why Clothes Last Longer

Hard water keeps soap and detergent from lathering properly, which makes it harder for your washing machine to actually clean your clothes. Excess minerals cling to fabric, fading colors and roughening texture over time, while iron, manganese, and sulfur can leave stains if left untreated. Hard water also clogs supply lines and builds up inside the washer itself.

Why Choose Aquapella

As an authorized independent distributor of Crystal Quest® water filtration products, we bring decades of industry experience to residential, commercial, and industrial water challenges — covering media filtration, membrane technology, chemical and organic disinfection, ozone-based oxidation, and dosing systems for pretreatment.
