Popular QuestionsInstallation & MaintenanceSalt-Free Scale ProtectionFiltration & ContaminantsProduct ComparisonWater Testing
Is the free water test really free?
Yes. The in-home water test is complimentary and helps identify which truClear system is the best fit for your home.
Which system is best for most homes?
Most homes start with the Standard 3-Stage system. Premium adds a stainless enclosure and a more finished presentation for homeowners who want the cleanest look.
How often do filters need to be replaced?
Filter timing depends on water quality and usage. Filters will typically need to be changed between 12-18 months.
Will a whole-home system affect water pressure?
truClear systems are designed for strong whole-home flow, and the right setup is selected based on your plumbing and household demand.
Can truClear help with hard water spots and scale?
Yes. Salt-free scale protection helps reduce scale buildup on plumbing, fixtures, and appliances without salt or a traditional softener.
Do I need a separate drinking water filter?
A whole-home system improves water throughout the house. If you want extra filtration at the kitchen sink, truClear can recommend a point-of-use option too.
Do I need a water test before choosing a system?
Yes. Testing helps identify your water quality so truClear can recommend the right filters and media for your system.
What is the difference between filtration and softening?
Filtration targets contaminants that affect taste, odor, safety, and water quality. Softening focuses on removing healthy minerals like calcium and magnesium. truClear typically treats and conditions the minerals in your water rather than removing them to maintain a healthy mineral content.
Will a truClear system help protect appliances?
Yes. The right system can help reduce sediment, chlorine exposure, and scale buildup that can affect plumbing, fixtures, and water-using appliances.
Do I need a separate drinking water system?
A truClear whole home system improves the water throughout the whole house. An RO system is typically included in the truClear whole home package and installed at the kitchen sink.
