This system includes a GAC (Granular Activated Carbon) & KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) pre-filter which reduces sediment, chlorine taste and odour as well as reduce heavy metal content such as Iron, Lead & Mercury from incoming water supplies.
What's Included:
Double 10" Big Blue / Jumbo Water Filter Housing
Housing Spanner & Mounting Bracket
10" x 4.5" Refillable Water Filter Cartridge
500ml of TAC Media (pre-loaded in the cartridge)
10" x 4.5" Jumbo KDF Cartridge
The housing is installed on your mains cold water feed for whole house applications and has standard 3/4" BSP inlet and outlet ports so is a simple and straight-forward system to install for any plumber.

Application: This Finerfilters 10" Double Jumbo Salt-Free Water Softener Alternative can be used as a whole house system in small to medium homes.
Lifespan: It is recommended to change the cartridge or media on this system every 24 months in order to maintain optimal performance. Replacement cartridges can be found in the "You may also like" section on this page. It is recommended to change the KDF Filter on this system every 6 - 8 months depending upon the quality of the incoming water.
Certification: NSF 61 Approved
*This system can run continuously at this flow rate whilst maintaining constant scale protection. **This system can only maintain scale protection at the maximum peak flow range for a limited time, higher flow rates will have diminishing returns.
Finerfilters No Salt / Salt Free Water Softener Alternative - 10" x 4.5" Double Jumbo System
Prevents Limescale Build-up and Removes Existing Scale with up to 99.6% Effectiveness,
This system includes;
A 10" Jumbo GAC (Granular Activated Carbon) & KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) pre-filter which reduces sediment, chlorine taste and odour as well as reduce heavy metal content such as Iron, Lead & Mercury from incoming water supplies.
A 10" Jumbo Refillable Cartridge pre-loaded with Salt Free Water Softening Media which prevents the propagation of limescale with up to 99.6% effectiveness and can even work to reduce existing limescale build-up in appliances. (This can sometimes be seen as white flakes in the water and is due to the loosening of existing scale in appliances such as boilers and sink taps. The longer the system is in place for the lesser these flakes become)
Doesn't waste water by back-washing or regeneration.
Uses no salt or other chemicals.
Requires virtually no maintenance (the filter media should be changed after 1 year in food service applications and every 2 years in domestic applications).
Retains healthy minerals and adds nothing to the drinking or wastewater.
The media we use has been tested by independent laboratories and researchers and has a proven 99.6% rate of effectiveness (the only non-salt technology to do so) and can even help to reverse some of the scale build-up which is already eating away at your existing systems such as heaters and boilers, allowing them to work more efficiently and use less energy meaning it can also help to reduce your electricity bills.
At the lowest challenge (incoming water with TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) of 479 and CaC03 (Calcium Carbonate) of 180) our media had an efficiency of 99.6%
At the highest challenge (TDS 1200 and CaC03 500) a 90% efficiency.
In all water samples, other alternative devices (water conditioners) only achieved 50% and below, with electromagnetic being the worst.
Hard Water / Limescale Build-Up and Why a Salt Based Water Softener Is Not The Best Way To Stop It.
Hard water is naturally occurring, but the scale it leaves behind can have a very detrimental impact on the efficiency and life of your plumbing and appliances, such as heaters and boilers, as well as inhibiting the formation of soap suds, meaning you use more detergents and soap when washing clothes or bathing.
Although traditional salt-based water softener systems do remove the minerals which are attributed to limescale build-up, they also remove the minerals that are essential and healthy for us such as calcium & magnesium and leave behind large amounts of sodium which means your incoming water supply is now undrinkable.
This is usually remedied by creating two water feed lines, one salt softener treated line and one untreated line. This means more work for your plumber, increasing the cost of installing the system which you likely paid a lot of money for already. Not only are they expensive to install they also require constant rejuvenation of salts and chemical cleaning in order to maintain their performance, which also comes at a cost both financially and environmentally.
Finerfilters Limescale Prevention Water Filter system uses an advanced filtration process known as Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC) which prevents the formation of limescale by converting those pesky scale causing hardness minerals into inert microscopic crystals via a catalytic reaction in the water being treated.
These crystals once created travel through the plumbing system and appliances in colloidal suspension - they do not stick to surfaces, which prevents the formation of limescale deposits so they are no longer able to bond and stick to your pipes or appliances.
The benefits of using one of our Finerfilters Salt-Free water softener systems are numerous;
Multi-Purpose
Feed water needs less contact time than softener resin, so smaller systems can be used, making it perfect for use as a whole house system even if you have limited space and can also be used to protect systems such as instant hot water taps and coffee machines.
Can be used in commercial applications by simply adding more media to the housing vessel.
Our systems can also be used on water supplies obtained from wells or bore holes however heavy metals such as Iron and manganese and excess sediment should be filtered out before the unit.
Environmentally Friendly
Our systems prevent limescale formation and will gradually work to remove existing scale build-up. This in turn improves the efficiency of appliances, reduces energy consumption and lowers energy bills. The longer you use our system, the more apparent this becomes, meaning your appliances stay functional for longer.
Requires no salts, cleaning or use of chemicals or regeneration agents which can be harmful to the environment and increase the running cost.
Doesn't require backwashing of salts, so no additional connection to a drain line or wasteful usage of water.
No brine discharge meaning our systems can be used in areas where conventional water softeners are banned or regulated.
Low Maintenance
Installation is a simple one-time process requiring only an inlet and outlet either at the Point-of-Entry (PoE) in a whole house system or Point-of-Use (PoU) to protect specific appliances such as coffee machines.
Vastly improved filter lifespan and low maintenance; the media only needs to be replaced after 1 year in food service applications and every 2 years in domestic applications.
Life expectancy of the housing system itself is much greater than a traditional softener system as it has no moving parts and is made from high-grade BPA free plastics.
Healthier
Our systems do not remove any of the beneficial minerals that is carried by water, whereas a traditional water softener will. Not only that, our systems do not add anything to your water supply whereas a traditional softener system adds harmful levels of sodium, making your water undrinkable.
Our salt-free water softeners do not remove chlorine, which is added to municipal water supplies, but the media is somewhat chlorine tolerant. It is recommended to add a carbon-based pre-filter, which we also supply, in order to increase the longevity of the media.
WRAS Approved
The internal water filter media used in this system is Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) approved, that demonstrates that it complies with the high standards set out by water regulations in the United Kingdom.
NSF 61 Certified
Meets the National Science Foundation (NSF) 61 approval. This is the American standard for drinking water products which is world renowned and internationally recognised.
Independently Tested & Verified by ASU
Tested by independent laboratories and researchers at Arizona State University our media achieved a 99.6% scale prevention effectiveness rating - the only non-salt technology to do so.
