SoftPro Water Systems Dual Tank Carbon Filter System
Two carbon beds in series, sold for benzene removal, with no benzene test data published.
$1,900
Usability
Two carbon beds in series is the right architecture for hydrocarbon contamination, because contact time determines breakthrough and a single bed gives you half of it. Its strongest attribute is exactly that redundancy, and the second bed is what lets the system keep working after the first one starts to load. Its weakest is that benzene appears in the product title and nowhere in any supporting data, with no influent concentration, no reduction percentage and no laboratory named. That is a serious gap for a contaminant with a federal maximum contaminant level of 5 parts per billion, where a homeowner needs to know the system works rather than assume it does. The buyer is paying $803 over the single-tank Chlorine+ for the second bed and getting no more evidence than the cheaper model comes with. Anyone treating a known benzene plume should be working from a laboratory result and a certified system rather than a product title.
- Two beds in series give far more contact time than a single tank
- Same 600,000 to 1,000,000 gallon media life claim
- No electricity, no drain line and no wastewater
- Catalytic carbon handles chloramine as well as hydrocarbons
- Lifetime warranty stated by SoftPro
- Benzene is named in the product title with no reduction data of any kind
- At $1,900 it costs $803 more than the single-tank Chlorine+
- No NSF or WQA certification exists under the SoftPro name
- No rated service flow rate
- Two tanks need roughly double the floor space of the single-tank models
The dual tank carbon system puts two catalytic carbon beds in series, which SoftPro positions for benzene and heavier hydrocarbon contamination where a single bed would exhaust quickly. It runs on the same upflow, no-electricity, no-wastewater design as the single-tank filters, with a stated media life of 600,000 to 1,000,000 gallons. It is the most expensive non-softener filter in the catalogue.
