City Water
Municipal water is treated to meet safety standards, but disinfectants like chlorine and chloramine, disinfection byproducts, and sediments can still reach your tap. Aging pipes may also contribute metals along the way.
Water Filtration for a Healthier Minnesota Home
Every glass of water in your home should support your health, not work against it. We help Twin Cities and Sherburne County families upgrade to patented water systems that improve taste, reduce a broad spectrum of contaminants, and give you peace of mind every time you turn on the tap.
- Free in-home water test in our NW Twin Cities metro service area.
- Virtual water consultations available for families a bit farther out.
- Patented multi-stage systems that preserve healthy minerals and waste no water.
- Engineered for long life, low maintenance, and strong warranties — many for the life of the product.
Pure Home Wellness is an independent authorized distributor for Carico® home wellness products. On this page, you’ll see why we lead with patented technology, not brand names.
What’s Really in Your Tap Water?
Whether your home is on city water or a private well, your tap can carry far more than just H2O. Using local reports, tools like the EWG Tap Water Database, and in-home testing, we help you see what’s actually in your water — and how to address it.
Well Water
Private wells can contain hard water minerals, iron, manganese, agricultural runoff, and shifting groundwater. Without regular testing, changes can go unnoticed for years.
Modern Contaminants
“Forever chemicals” (PFAS), industrial solvents, and other modern contaminants are increasingly showing up in water reports. Our systems use patented media blends designed to reduce a wide spectrum of these substances while keeping healthy minerals intact.
During your consultation, we’ll look up available data for your area, perform simple in-home tests where possible, and explain the results in plain language.
Beyond Basic Reverse Osmosis
Reverse osmosis (RO) can be a powerful tool in certain situations, but the way it’s typically sold in big-box stores and online often comes with trade-offs:
- Many RO systems waste several gallons of water for every gallon you drink.
- They often strip out beneficial minerals, leaving “empty” water.
- Membranes and cartridges can require frequent, costly replacement.
The systems we recommend are designed to give you similar or better protection where you need it most, without wasting water or erasing the minerals your body actually uses.
Why Our Patented Systems Are Different
- Patented multi-stage designs for a broader contaminant spectrum than typical filters.
- Engineered to waste no water and run on water pressure — no electricity.
- Long-life media that you maintain instead of constantly replacing whole units.
- Many components backed by extended or lifetime warranties.
We’ll still talk about RO where it makes sense, but our starting point is always: the cleanest, most efficient, long-term solution for your specific home.
Patented Home Water Systems We Recommend
We’ll help you decide whether a point-of-use system, a whole-house system, or a combined approach is the best fit for your home and family.
Point-of-Use Drinking Water Systems
Installed at the sink or as a dedicated tap, these compact stainless steel systems deliver highly filtered water for drinking, cooking, coffee, tea, and ice — right where you use it most.
- Patented multi-stage cartridges down to submicron levels.
- Designed to reduce bacteria, cysts, heavy metals, PFAS, VOCs, and more.
- Long-life media that can last years in typical homes with proper maintenance.
Whole-House Water Purification
Installed where water enters your home, these systems treat every tap, shower, and appliance using layered filtration media and conditioning technology.
- Helps reduce chlorine, chloramine, sediments, and many chemicals.
- Salt-free conditioning that helps control scale without adding sodium.
- Benefits for skin, hair, laundry, and the life of your plumbing and appliances.
Combined Home Water Plans
Many homes get the best outcome from a layered approach — whole-house protection plus a dedicated drinking water system in the kitchen.
- Custom recommendations based on your water source and home size.
- Targeted protection where you drink, cook, bathe, and do laundry.
- Built around your wellness goals, lifestyle, and budget.

3. Education & System Options
We explain point-of-use vs whole-house options, how our patented media work, and how they differ from typical big-box filters or basic RO setups. -
4. Custom Recommendation & Follow-Up

Water Filtration FAQs
Here are a few of the most common questions we hear about upgrading home water.
Do I need both a whole-house system and a drinking water system?
Not always. Some families start with point-of-use filtration for drinking and cooking, while others prefer the whole-home approach from day one. During your consultation, we’ll talk through your goals and help you decide what makes the most sense for your home.
Will this help with chlorine taste and smell?
Yes. Our systems are designed to significantly improve taste and reduce common odors like chlorine that many people notice in city water supplies.
Will my water still have healthy minerals?
Yes. Unlike many traditional RO setups that strip nearly everything out, our recommended systems are engineered to reduce unwanted contaminants while preserving beneficial minerals present in your source water.
Does the system waste water or use electricity?
No. The point-of-use and whole-house systems we recommend operate on your existing water pressure. They do not require electricity and are designed to avoid the water waste common with many RO systems.
How often do I need to change filters or media?
Media life depends on your water quality and how much water your family uses. Many of the systems we recommend are rated for very high capacities (often in the hundreds of thousands of gallons), with media lasting years in typical homes. We’ll outline realistic expectations for your specific setup.
What kind of warranties do these systems have?
One of the big differences with our product line is warranty strength. Many components are backed by extended or lifetime warranties when properly installed and maintained. We’ll walk through the specific warranty details for any system we recommend.
