Whole House Filtration Stages

As part of the Hybrid System, Filtercon’s whole house filtration system protects your water supply through five advanced stages, targeting the most common contaminants found in San Diego and surrounding areas.

Stage 1 – Premium Granular Carbon
Removes chlorine, chemical byproducts, and unpleasant odors using 69 pounds of high-grade carbon media for cleaner, better-tasting water throughout your home.

Stage 2 – Natural Quartz Layer
Captures fine sediment and supports consistent water flow using 20 pounds of natural quartz filtration.

Stage 3 – KDF-55 Media
Reduces heavy metals like lead and mercury while also helping control bacteria and extending the life of the filtration system.

Stage 4 – Hydromagnetic Conditioning
Softens water naturally by restructuring minerals at the molecular level, helping prevent scale buildup while keeping healthy minerals intact.

Stage 5 – Automated Backwash System
Periodically flushes trapped contaminants out of the system through a fully automated rinse cycle, providing long-term, maintenance-free performance.

Salt-Free Softening with TAC Technology

Filtercon’s Hybrid System includes advanced salt-free softening technology using Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC) to prevent scale buildup while keeping healthy minerals in your water.

During the softening process, hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium are transformed into harmless crystals. These crystals stay suspended in the water instead of sticking to your pipes, appliances, or fixtures. You keep the healthy minerals without the damage of scale buildup.

Unlike traditional salt-based softeners, TAC technology requires no salt, no chemicals, no drain line, no electricity, and no ongoing maintenance. It's an eco-friendly, reliable solution designed for San Diego’s hard water conditions.
