Three families. Different reasons to choose.

  1. Bring your water report

    Choose treatment for the actual water issue. A carbon-based system, an iron filter, a softener and RO are not interchangeable.

  2. Size for the installation

    Confirm service flow, simultaneous demand, incoming pressure, backwash demand, pipe size and space. A bathroom count is a sizing aid, not a guarantee.

  3. Compare the same package

    Match tank size, material, media and add-ons before comparing prices. Include installation and the ongoing cartridge/media schedule.

SMART, Eagle or High Flow?

Start with an equivalent package. The table separates entry configurations from the range of options.

Confirm the High Flow rating.The entry option is named “15 GPM,” but the standalone table lists 14 GPM service flow. Peak, service and backwash figures are separate. Ask which rating applies to your package.

Prefer a cartridge system?

Big Blue, Compact and Mini have different cartridge sizes and rated flow. Compare single/double/triple stages, port size and whether a stand is included before comparing prices.

Considering whole-house RO?

RO output in GPD describes daily production. Storage and a delivery pump also affect the usable flow at your taps. Compare the complete installed package against your water analysis.
