Tank-style filters can often require multiple plumber visits resulting in multiple trip charges due to the startup requirements before installing. They must be filled up with water and left to pre-soak for 48 hours then once soaked they require multiple backwashing and flushing attempts to reduce the amount of carbon fines and dust that will enter the home’s plumbing system. Once flushed and ready for installation they generally have 4-6 plumbing connections to plumb into the home’s main water line.
The Evo systems come ready for use. If you are installing it yourself or you’re going to hire a plumber or handyman, it is a simple installation and our patented in-line design only has 2 connections saving you a lot of time and money.
Tank-style filters are filled with loose granular carbon that is full of carbon fines and dust which can cause pressure loss and flow rate issues if the carbon media is not properly soaked and flushed. High flow water using devices, such as bathtubs and washing machines can cause loose carbon media to “float” to the top of the tank shutting down the flow of water. “Floating” is a common problem with tank-style water filters. Tank-style filter systems also have to be sized based on 1-3 bathrooms or 4-6 bathrooms in order to get the flow rate or gallons per minute (GPM) required.
The Evo systems handle 1-6 bathrooms and have a flow rate of 15 gallons per minute with no detectable pressure drop. So whether you have a 3 bathroom or a 6 bathroom home you will only need to purchase one system. For example, if you currently live in a 1-3 bathroom home and decide to move in a few years to a larger home that has 4-6 bathrooms the Evo system will work perfectly. Your Evo system is easily moved from home to home or you can leave the system for the new homeowner with a full warranty because our warranties are transferable.
Most water applications in your home (showers, faucets, toilets, etc.) use on average, 2-3 gallons per minute with the exception of bathtubs and washing machines that use 3-5 gallons per minute. Having a system with a higher flow rate will allow you to use multiple water-using devices in your home without experiencing a pressure drop.
Changing the filters on the Evo systems takes minutes not days, simply unscrew the filter housing and replace the filter, it’s that easy!
Evo systems utilize catalytic activated coconut carbon which is solid block technology. Solid block technology, because of its static composition, produces minimal carbon fines at start-up, thereby minimizing the need for backwashing or flushing. This also virtually eliminates carbon fines during the ongoing operation of the filter … Problem solved!
Tank-style filters have a loose bed of carbon (GAC) that can provide ample room for bacteria colonization. To combat that companies that sell tank-style filters will add a “Media Guard” which is actually KDF, a copper-zinc alloy to the tank to try and inhibit bacteria growth inside the carbon media. The problem with that is copper and zinc are HEAVY METALS and if the pH of the incoming water supply was to drop below 7 or neutral it could possibly leach into your drinking water.
A further advantage of Evo catalytic activated coconut carbon block technology over GAC is that the pore size of the block can be controlled to a small enough size to virtually eliminate bacterial growth inside the filter. Overall, our carbon block technology is a better choice in water filtration applications because it is highly effective in removing contaminants, compact size, use of renewable resources, and resistance to bacterial growth.
Most tank-style filters on the market today utilize loose granular activated coal-based carbons that only have the ability to filter chlorine. In most cases, you will have to purchase a separate filter system just to filter chloramines costing you an additional $800-$1000+.
The Evo filtration systems use a high-grade catalytic activated coconut carbon that is solid block technology. Our carbon block technology filters both chlorine and chloramine giving you the best possible filtration from every tap in your home. Local cities and municipalities often use both chlorine and chloramine throughout the year for disinfection so picking the filtration system that addresses both chemicals is very important.

My wife and I absolutely love our new E-3000 Whole House Filter and Salt-Free Softener. The water simply tastes fantastic and I really love not having to lug heavy bags of salt home from Home Depot. Speaking of salt, it’s comforting to not have extra sodium in our drinking water. It’s a very clean, virtually maintenance-free system. Love it!
Extremely happy with our decision to go with Evo Water Systems for our whole house water filter and softener. Customer service was great and our rep Frank was very patient in answering all of our questions. Installation was easy and we noticed an immediate difference. The system was bigger than we had anticipated but didn’t take up nearly as much space as our old system.
