Including filter system and high-performance Carbonates filter.
Carbonates are dissolved mineral compounds that commonly occur alongside calcium and magnesium in household water. In Franjo homes they can show up as scale on faucets and showerheads, spots on glassware, and soap that won’t lather easily. Because these minerals often come from groundwater, many homeowners see carbonate-related buildup on fixtures and inside water-using appliances, making regular cleaning more of a chore.
Bicarbonates are closely related to carbonates and affect water alkalinity and scale formation. When water is heated—like in kettles or water heaters—bicarbonates can react with hardness minerals and leave chalky deposits that reduce appliance efficiency. In Franjo’s humid subtropical climate, keeping hot-water systems free of this residue helps maintain performance and cut down on maintenance time for families.
For whole-house protection against carbonates, the most effective single option is a water softener that uses ion exchange resin. Rather than filtering out minerals, ion exchange replaces scale-forming calcium and magnesium with sodium or potassium, preventing carbonate-driven scale from forming. Installed at your Franjo home’s point of entry, a softener treats all water going to showers, sinks, laundry and appliances to address the root cause of buildup.
A correctly sized ion exchange system also reduces bicarbonate impacts, especially where hot water makes scaling most obvious. The resin bed performs the mineral exchange and the unit regenerates periodically to maintain effectiveness. Many Franjo homeowners add a prefilter to remove grit and protect the resin, while relying on the softener as the primary defense against carbonate-related scale—Mr. Pure Water can size and recommend the right system for your whole house.
