WHAT CONTAMINANTS CAN A REGULAR WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM REMOVE? AND WHY CARICO’S WHOLE-HOUSE SYSTEM GOES FURTHER.

When you pour yourself a glass of water at home, you expect it to be clean, safe, and refreshing. But the truth is, most tap water (even if it looks crystal clear) can contain a wide range of contaminants that affect not only your health, but also your home and lifestyle. That’s why more and more families are investing in water purification systems.

But here’s the catch: not all water filtration systems are created equal. A regular water filter might give you peace of mind by improving COLOR, taste and odor, but when it comes to real protection, its capabilities are surprisingly limited. That’s where Carico’s Whole-House Water Purification System comes in. A complete solution designed to safeguard your health, your appliances, and your entire home.

 

What a Regular Water Purification System can (and can’t) Do

Most people are familiar with the standard filters you find at big stores or attached to kitchen faucets. These filters are convenient and relatively inexpensive, but their protection is limited. They can only remove:

  • Chlorine and Sediment: Regular filters typically reduce chlorine levels, making water taste and smell better. They can also trap large particles like sand, dirt, or rust.
  • Some Heavy Metals: Depending on the type, a basic filter may remove a few metals, such as lead or chromium-6.
  • That’s pretty much It: When it comes to fluoride, nitrates, pesticides, herbicides, bacteria, viruses, pharmaceuticals, or microplastics, these systems usually don’t have the technology to address them.

In short, while a regular filter can be a quick fix for taste and odor, it falls short of providing full protection.

 

The Carico Difference: Complete Protection for Your Entire Home

Carico’s Whole-House Water Purification System and Point of Use were engineered with one clear goal: to deliver the safest, purest water possible right from every tap in your home. Unlike regular filters, Carico’s doesn’t just stop at taste. It’s a multi-stage defense system that protects against more than 100 different contaminants. Here’s what makes it stand out:

 

1: Multi-Stage Filtration Technology

Carico’s system uses a combination of advanced media layers, DS Composite™, and magnetic water conditioning to provide unmatched protection. This powerful process reduces or removes:

  • Chlorine and Chloramine (used in most municipal water supplies)
  • Heavy metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic
  • Fluoride and nitrates, common in many areas, and linked to health concerns
  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial runoff
  • Pesticides and herbicides from agricultural areas
  • Pharmaceutical residues that pass through wastewater treatment plants
  • Bacteria, viruses, and parasites like E. coli and cryptosporidium
  • Microplastics, an emerging contaminant found in most modern water sources

With Carico, you’re not just filtering out a few basic impurities; you’re tackling the full range of contaminants that can affect your family’s health.

 

2: Soft, Conditioned Water Without Salt or Chemicals

Hard water is another hidden issue in many households. It leaves scale buildup on faucets, stains in sinks, and even damages pipes and appliances over time. Traditional water softeners use salt and chemicals, which require constant maintenance and create wastewater.

Carico’s Whole-House and Point of use Systems are different. Carico uses salt-free DS Composite™ and magnetic water conditioning to naturally prevent scale, protect your plumbing, and keep water safe for drinking. That means:

  • No salt bags to haul
  • No chemical discharge
  • No extra electricity costs

Just clean, conditioned water for every shower, laundry cycle, and appliance in your home.

 

3: Point-of-Use Purity Where It Counts Most

While the whole-house system protects every tap, Carico takes things a step further with the Ultra-Tech™ Drinking Water Filter. This system delivers 99.9% contaminant reduction for the water you drink and cook with, giving your family an extra layer of assurance at the kitchen sink.

 

4: Easy Maintenance and Long Lifespan

Many filtration systems require electricity, or complex upkeep. Carico eliminates that hassle. Our system is:

  • Non-electric: no risk of failure or extra costs
  • Low-maintenance: media lasts up to 7 years, depending on water quality

 

Why Investing in Better Water Matters

Water touches every part of daily life; your health, your cooking, your cleaning, even the air in your home when you shower. That means the right system isn’t just a “nice-to-have,” it’s an investment in your family’s wellbeing and your home’s future.

With Carico, you get:

  • Cleaner, healthier drinking water for your family
  • Softer, chemical-free showers that protect your skin and hair
  • Longer-lasting appliances and plumbing free of scale buildup
  • Peace of mind knowing you’re protected against more than 100 contaminants

 

The Bottom Line

A regular water filter may improve the taste of your water, but it simply can’t deliver the protection today’s families need. Carico’s Whole-House Water Purification and Point-of-Use System goes far beyond the basics, providing complete home protection without the use of chemicals, salt, or electricity. When it comes to your family’s health and your home’s longevity, don’t settle for halfway. Invest in a system that’s built to last, built to protect, and built for peace of mind free of mercury, pesticides, lead, copper and much more!
