The HALO 5 is one of the most advanced whole home water filtration systems on the market - and it's a product we proudly install at Easy Breezy Plumbing because of its comprehensive performance and minimal maintenance.
Here's how HALO 5 treats your water:
- Granular Activated Carbon - Removes pesticides, organic compounds, unwanted odors, and particulate matter.
- Centaur High Activity Carbon - Targets chlorine to improve taste and smell.
- Filter-AG Plus - Captures particles down to 5 microns and eliminates water cloudiness.
- High Density Garnet Filter Media - Filters large particles in the 10-20 micron range.
- HALO ION Inline Water Conditioner - Uses advanced conditioning to reduce scale effects and enhance water quality.
With this multi-stage process, the HALO 5 doesn't just filter - it also conditions your water so it's clearer, better tasting, and more enjoyable for everyday use.
Whole Home Filtration vs. Traditional Water Softeners
Many homeowners think they need a water softener to fix hard water problems, but that's not the full story.
Water softeners work through ion exchange, where hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium are swapped for sodium or potassium. While this reduces scale buildup, softeners:
- Do not filter contaminants like chlorine, pesticides, or sediment.
- Require salt additions and frequent maintenance.
- Produce brine discharge that can be harmful to the environment.
- Often still require reverse osmosis at every drink/cook point to remove salt from your water.
In contrast, the HALO 5 whole home system:
- Filters out contaminants like chlorine, odors, chemicals, and particulates at every faucet.
- Condition water to reduce scale buildup without adding salt or chemicals.
- Requires less frequent backwash cycles than traditional softeners, reducing water use and maintenance.
- Produces water that's safe for people, pets, and plants, without harmful discharge.
This means your water is cleaner, healthier, and more eco-friendly - all without the high maintenance and hidden costs that often come with traditional softeners.
Benefits of Choosing HALO Whole Home Filtration
When you install a HALO system through Easy Breezy Plumbing, you're investing in:
- Better-tasting and smelling water throughout your home.
- Reduced scale buildup on fixtures, appliances, and plumbing.
- Lower maintenance needs compared to salt-based softeners.
- Eco-friendly operation with no salt discharge.
- Whole home protection for drinking, bathing, and cleaning water.
Should You Choose a Softener, a Filter, or Both?
Every home's water quality needs are different - that's why we always recommend a professional water test before installing any system. But for most homeowners looking to upgrade the quality of their water - removing contaminants, improving taste, and protecting household plumbing - a whole home filtration system like HALO 5 is a superior choice.
In some cases, pairing a HALO system with targeted softening solutions may be ideal - especially in areas with very high hardness levels - but the HALO can often address both filtration and conditioning in one efficient system.
