Hydrotech HTO Up Flow Series

Rid your water of hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) plus filter out bad tastes and odor caused by chlorine, chloramines or organic matter. The unique two tank system keeps the two media beds separate, allowing for more carbon contact which greatly improves removal. You get the same benefit as a separate water softener and whole-house carbon filter for a much lower price as the single control valve operates both systems.

IAPMO R&T Certified against NSF/ANSI 44 and CSA B483.1. Certified by IAPMO R&T to NSF/ANSI 42 for chlorine reduction.

Dual Tank Design

How the HTO Combo SystemRefines Your Water

Two separate media tanks operated by a single control valve deliver complete water treatment

1

Catalytic Carbon Tank

Removes 97% of chlorine, chloramines, and organic compounds. Over 1.1 million gallon capacity. Separate tank allows for easy, cost-effective carbon replacement.

2

Softening Resin Tank

Aquafine 8% cation exchange resin removes hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium). Up Flow Regeneration saves salt and preserves unused resin.

3

Brine Tank

High-density polyethylene tank with lifetime warranty. Brine safety valve and plastic salt grid prevent bridging and overflow. Up to 420 lbs salt storage.

Because carbon typically needs replacement before softening resin, the separate tank design allows for easy, cost-effective maintenance

Why Choose the HTO Combo System?

One system, complete water treatment -- soft, clean, truly refined water

Great Tasting Water

Catalytic carbon removes chlorine, chloramines, and organic compounds. No more chemical taste or odor from every tap in your home.

Soft Skin & Silky Hair

Hard water leaves skin dry and hair brittle. The softening resin removes calcium and magnesium for noticeably softer water.

Protect Your Plumbing

Scale buildup damages water heaters, dishwashers, and plumbing. Softened water extends the life of your appliances and fixtures.

Cost-Effective Solution

Get the same benefit as separate water softener and whole-house carbon filter at a much lower cost with a single control valve.
