Overview
About this system
The Bluetooth Backwashing GAC Carbon Filter is a whole-home carbon system that reduces chlorine, chloramine, and the compounds that leave water tasting and smelling off, then cleans its own media on a schedule you set from your phone.
How it works
Granular activated carbon that keeps itself fresh
Water passes through a bed of granular activated carbon that captures chlorine, chloramine, and the chemicals behind off tastes and odors. A Bluetooth control valve backwashes that bed on a set schedule, so the media stays open and effective without hands-on upkeep.
Why homeowners choose it
Cleaner water at every tap, with less to think about
Better-tasting water
Reduced chlorine means clean, fresh water for drinking, cooking, and everyday use.
No lingering odors
Chlorine and chloramine smells are reduced, so water runs clear and fresh at every fixture.

Sizing
Which flow rate is right for you?
For a whole-house filter, flow rate (GPM) is the peak service flow the media bed can treat while holding full pressure to every tap. A larger tank holds more media, treats more water at once, and backwashes less often. Match it to your home's size and busiest moments.
- 5 GPM. A compact tank for smaller homes with 1 bathroom and 1 to 2 people. Treats a tap or two at a time.
- 10 GPM. The typical single-family size, for 2 to 3 bathrooms and 2 to 4 people. Holds full pressure across normal household use.
- 15 GPM. For 3 to 4 bathrooms and 4 to 5 people, or homes with higher simultaneous demand. More media means longer runs between backwashes.
- 20 GPM. A large tank for four or more bathrooms, big households, or high peak flow. Maximum media volume and treatment capacity.
Not sure? A shower uses about 2.5 GPM and a washing machine 3 to 5 GPM, so add up the fixtures that might run together at your peak. When between sizes, size up for steadier pressure and longer media life. Tell us your number of bathrooms and we will size it right.

Simple to use. Easy to monitor.
Your filter is designed to operate automatically. The app simply gives you a convenient way to view your system and reach the basic controls from your phone. There is nothing to watch day to day and nothing to adjust once your system is set up.
Advanced settings are configured at installation for your specific system and are best left at their recommended values.
Your installer or water professional can keep their service details in the app, so you always know who to contact if you need assistance.
App features require a Bluetooth enabled system and a phone within Bluetooth range of the filter. Backwash cycles are scheduled by the system based on its programmed settings. Screen shown is an illustration.
