14. What is the recommendation for homes that have well water?

If you’re on well water, before you buy anything, get your water tested so that we can design the right filter for you. We offer testing through a national testing lab. The cost is $180 for well water, but that cost is rebated to you instantly when you purchase a system.

Because well water is always different, we really like to custom tailor our whole house filters that are getting installed on a well. If you’ve got bacteria in your water, you would need to get an ultraviolet filter from us. If you’ve got uranium in your water, we would use a special ion-exchange filter, etc.

Without knowing what is in your water, we couldn’t possibly make the best recommendation for you, though we do make a generic well water system that utilizes 5 different filter medias and 6 different stages that will usually work for most water conditions.

One unit is sufficient for a home up to 3,500 square feet with up to 3 1/2 bathrooms with no loss in water pressure. If you have a larger home, you would need a second unit that would be installed in parallel. This doubles the capacity of the system.

17. Does the EQ-300 whole house water filter system remove fluoride?

The standard EQ-300 removal percentages would be theoretical because no performance certification has been established. We do, however, use activated carbon and mechanical filtration, both of which are known to effectively reduce fluoride. But keep in mind that our reduction is of TOTAL fluoride: mainly the hydrofluoro-silicic acid. We do this as a result of the isotope being of a heavier mass. The separation of isotopes is a process known as isotope fractionation, i.e. mechanical filtration. . We also have a specialized carbon that we upgrade the bottom tank to. It is the HA2 Supra media. This is great for the removal of heavy metals and greater than 90% of the fluoride while still taking care of the herbicides and pesticides (VOCs, SOCs, and THMs) as well.
