Whole-Home SMART Water Filtration System 9-13 GPM
Water affects nearly every part of your daily life, from the water you drink and cook with to the water used in your showers, laundry, and appliances. When water contains chemicals, sediment, and hard minerals, it can impact taste, damage plumbing, shorten appliance life, and leave skin and hair feeling dry. The Crystal Quest SMART Whole-House Filtration System is designed to solve these problems at the source.
Advanced SMART Filtration Technology
At the core of the system is Crystal Quest’s proprietary SMART Multimedia filtration, combining multiple purification technologies to address a wide range of contaminants commonly found in residential water supplies. Water flows through specialized filtration media that includes:
-
Dual Coconut Shell Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC)
Standard and catalytic carbon media help reduce chlorine, chloramine, and chemical byproducts.
-
Eagle Redox Alloy® 6500 & 9500
Advanced alloys infused into the carbon media help reduce heavy metals such as lead and mercury while significantly extending filter life.
-
Ion Exchange Resin
Supports contaminant reduction and improves overall filtration performance.
-
Ceramic and Tourmaline Mineral Balls
Help oxygenate water and support balanced alkalinity, contributing to a healthier pH range.
This multi-layer filtration system helps reduce a variety of unwanted contaminants, including:
- Chlorine and chloramines
- PFAS and PFOS compounds
- Herbicides and pesticides
- Petroleum and pharmaceutical byproducts
- Heavy metals such as lead and mercury
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- Sulfur odors and hydrogen sulfide
- Industrial solvents and chemical pollutants
The system also helps reduce the four common trihalomethanes (THMs) created during municipal water treatment:
- Chloroform
- Dibromochloromethane
- Bromodichloromethane
- Bromoform
Multi-Stage Filtration for Maximum Water Quality
Pre-Filtration
Water first passes through a 20-inch sediment filter that captures larger particles such as sand, silt, rust, and dirt. This protects the rest of the system and improves overall filtration performance.
SMART Multimedia Filtration
Next, water flows through the system’s proprietary SMART filtration media where contaminants, chemicals, and heavy metals are reduced.
Post-Filtration
Finally, water passes through a 20-inch solid carbon filter, which helps polish the water by reducing any remaining VOCs, pesticides, insecticides, and chemical residues.
The BenefitsÂ
- Fresher-tasting drinking water
- Reduced chlorine smell in showers and sinks
- Softer feeling skin and more manageable hair
- Cleaner dishes with fewer spots
- Brighter laundry that lasts longer
Filtered water can also improve everyday convenience by providing clean water for baby formula, soups, pasta, pet water, plant watering, and aquariums. Clean water supports many aspects of everyday life—from hydration and cooking to bathing and cleaning. A whole-home filtration system helps ensure the water used throughout your house is cleaner, fresher, and better balanced.
Protect Your Appliances & Plumbing
- Increase water heater efficiency by up to 29%
- Extend appliance life by up to 30%
- Reduce detergent and soap use by up to 70%
- Extend the lifespan of fabrics and clothing
Filtered water can help protect:
- Washing machines
- Dishwashers
- Water heaters
- Coffee makers
- Humidifiers
- Household plumbing systems
Optional Water Softening Solutions
Many homes also experience hard water, which contains high levels of calcium and magnesium. While not a health concern, hard water can cause scale buildup inside pipes and appliances, leading to higher energy costs and maintenance. This system can be paired with optional water conditioning or softening technologies depending on your home’s needs.
Traditional Salt-Based Softener
Removes calcium and magnesium through ion exchange, preventing future scale buildup in pipes and appliances. This process requires periodic regeneration using salt.
Salt-Free Water Conditioner
A salt-free alternative that changes the structure of hardness minerals so they cannot form scale. Instead of removing calcium and magnesium, it transforms them into microscopic particles that remain suspended in the water and rinse away harmlessly.
This technology can also help break down existing scale buildup while protecting plumbing systems from future deposits.
Optional System Upgrades
12 GPM UV Water Sterilizer
Helps neutralize bacteria, viruses, algae, and protozoa without using chemicals.
Oxidation System
Uses ozone technology to further improve water oxidation and purification.
Designed for Higher Water Flow Homes
The SMART system is available in 9–13 GPM flow rates, making it ideal for households with multiple bathrooms and higher water demand.
This allows the system to maintain consistent filtration performance even when several fixtures are running at the same time, such as showers, dishwashers, and washing machines.
Built for Long-Term Performance
The SMART system is designed with high-capacity filtration media that can treat large volumes of water before replacement is required.
- Long filtration lifespan
- Reduced maintenance compared to cartridge filters
- Consistent whole-home water quality
This makes it a dependable option for homeowners who want powerful filtration without frequent filter changes.
A Balanced Solution Between Basic Filtration and Alkaline Systems
The SMART system sits in the middle of the filtration lineup, providing more advanced purification than basic systems while remaining simpler than mineral-enhancing alkaline systems. It provides a high-performance filtration solution that improves water quality throughout the home without complexity.

*Pinholes or rust may occur on stainless steel tanks in environments with high humidity, when salt is present or if condensation remains on tank without being routinely wiped down. If your system will be exposed to one of these factors or you are unable to perform the needed maintenance, we recommend a fiberglass tank.
