Crystal Quest Guardian Whole House Water Filter CQE-WH-03101
The Crystal Quest Guardian Whole House Water Filter delivers clean, filtered water to every tap in your home. Using three stages of filtration with coconut-shell GAC and Eagle Redox Alloy® media, the Guardian removes chlorine, chloramines, heavy metals, VOCs, and more — with no electricity required and media that lasts 5–10 years.
Water Travels Through 3 Stages of Filtration
- Stage 1 — Water flows through two types of coconut shell Granulated Activated Carbon (Premium & Catalytic GAC), reducing heavy metals including lead and mercury, chlorine, chloramine, and organic contaminants such as herbicides, pesticides, and pharmaceutical by-products.
- Stage 2 — The GAC is infused with Eagle Redox Alloys® 6500 to inhibit the growth of bacteria and algae.
- Stage 3 — Water flows through a 10” Carbon Block cartridge that removes VOCs (solvents, cleaners, paints, and dyes) and improves taste and odor.
Benefits
- Great tasting, healthier water for drinking and cooking
- Crystal clear ice cubes and flavorful coffee, tea, and meals
- Ideal for baby formula, pasta, and soups
- Great for pets, plants, and aquariums
- Unlimited clean water to your kitchen, bath, and laundry
- Clean water for steam irons, humidifiers, and household cleaning
The large-volume tank holds a significant amount of filter media, extending system lifespan. When it is time to replace the media — every 5–10 years — simply replace the media inside the tank. No additional plumbing required, no need to replace the entire tank. No electricity required.
Salt-Free Water Softener (Optional Add-On)
The optional salt-free conditioner uses Crystal Quest Eagle Anti-Scale media to transform calcium hardness into mechanically stable calcite crystals that no longer cause lime deposits. No salt, no backwash, no wastewater.
- Stage 1: 20” sediment filter cartridge removes sediment, silt, sand, and dirt.
- Stage 2: Water flows through the Crystal Quest Eagle Anti-Scale media tank.
- Stage 3: 20” solid carbon cartridge removes VOCs, insecticides, pesticides, and industrial solvents.
- Stage 4: 20” 0.2-micron ultrafiltration (UF) membrane removes colloids, proteins, bacteria, viruses, parasites, protozoa, and pyrogens.
