HALO 5 Whole Home Water Filter System

How the HALO 5 Whole-House Water Filter Works

The HALO 5 water filtration system is engineered to improve water quality throughout your entire home. It uses a five-stage filtration process combined with a multi-reversing magnetic field to reduce contaminants, improve taste, and limit scale buildup.

• Stage 1: Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) – This stage captures a wide range of unwanted substances, including chlorine, pesticides, gases, heavy metals, lead, bleach, and other common impurities.
• Stage 2: Centaur® High-Activity Carbon (HAC) – HAC is designed to eliminate chlorine across varying pH levels while improving water taste and odor.
• Stage 3: Filter-AG Plus® Media – This advanced filtration media removes sediment more effectively than standard granular materials, improving clarity and system efficiency.
• Stage 4: High-Density Garnet Media – The garnet layer targets fine particulate matter, providing an added level of filtration.
• Stage 5: HALO Ion Inline Water Conditioner – This final stage helps reduce chlorine by-products and treats water to prevent scale formation inside plumbing and fixtures.

HALO 5 System FAQs

Does the HALO 5 Require Regular Maintenance?

The HALO 5 is designed to be maintenance-free. While no routine service is required, professional installation is essential to ensure optimal performance.

How Long Does the HALO 5 System Last?

For an average household of four using approximately 146,000 gallons per year, the carbon media can last 8–10 years. The system also includes a lifetime limited warranty covering the tank, control head, and ion conditioner.

Is the HALO 5 Suitable for Commercial Use?

Yes. HALO systems are commonly installed in commercial environments such as restaurants, hotels, healthcare facilities, irrigation systems, and food-service operations where water quality consistency is critical.

How Does the HALO 5 Benefit the Whole Home?

The HALO 5 is installed at the main water line, treating all water entering your home. Every tap, appliance, and fixture receives filtered water. Unfiltered water can deposit minerals and sediment inside appliances, leading to inefficiency and wear. HALO filtration helps extend the lifespan of dishwashers, washing machines, coffee makers, and ice machines by reducing scale and chlorine exposure.

Common Water Quality Concerns

Can Tap Water Affect Skin and Hair?

Hard water minerals such as calcium and magnesium can dry out skin, hair, and nails. The National Eczema Association notes that mineral-heavy water may worsen eczema symptoms and skin sensitivities.

Possible signs include:

• Brittle or splitting nails
• Dry, itchy, or flaky skin
• Dull or frizzy hair

Is Fluoride in Water a Concern?

While fluoride supports dental health, high exposure has been associated with dental fluorosis, skeletal fluorosis, and potential neurological concerns in children. Research is ongoing, and results vary.

What Are PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”)?

PFAS are long-lasting synthetic compounds found in many consumer products. Prolonged exposure may impact cholesterol, liver enzymes, hormone levels, immune response, infant birth weight, and pregnancy health.

Why Does Tap Water Taste Bad?

Taste issues often result from:

• Organic matter (earthy or musty flavors)
• Metals from aging pipes
• High mineral content

The HALO 5 system addresses these concerns with long-lasting, high-performance filtration.
