The Home is the entry point to the range and the right size for an apartment, condo or small house where a brine tank is not physically possible. At 7 lbs and under six inches wide it is the least intrusive whole-house device in this category by a wide margin. The catch is capacity: 20,000 gallons per cartridge against the Manor's 50,000, which means a four-person household will be replacing cartridges more than twice a year and paying most of the Manor's running cost for a smaller system. Like every product in the range it chelates hardness rather than removing it, holds no certifier listing, and publishes no flow rate. Its 25 grain per gallon ceiling is the same as the Manor's, so it is capacity rather than hardness tolerance that separates them. At 634.99 dollars it is the lowest-risk way to find out whether salt-free conditioning does anything useful on your water.
