Dual-Tank System — City Water
A softening tank and a carbon tank, each doing one job.
Two tanks instead of one: a dedicated softening tank and a dedicated carbon tank. Splitting the media means each does its job properly instead of competing for room in a single vessel. Worth it on larger houses and on supplies with a strong chlorine taste.
Best for: Larger homes, or a strong chlorine taste on a town supply
