Optional PRE-FILTER setup

Use this list as a guide to determine which pre filter would be the best setup for your home.

Enagic ionizers all have a filter which removes Chlorine, sediment and odor from our water. However, some people want more chemicals and contaminants removed such as Fluoride, Heavy Metals, etc.

WATER QUALITY

If you are unsure of the quality of your drinking water there are a few options to find out.

  • Order an at home test kit such as: https://mytapscore.com/

  • Hire someone local to come out and test for you.

  • Do a search online for your city/county water stats.
