  Kind Water E‑2000

  • Hardness tolerance is high at 1,282 PPM or 75 grains per gallon, and it holds a full 15 GPM.
  • The weakest attribute is that it is the only Kind city-water system with no carbon block, so chlorine, chloramine and organic chemistry pass straight through and its certifications drop to NSF/ANSI 61 and 372, both of which are materials safety listings and neither of which is a performance claim about anything.
  • Buyers should also understand what salt-free conditioning does and does not do: it reduces adhesion of scale, which Kind quotes at 88 percent, but hardness minerals remain in the water, so a hardness test after installation will read the same as before.
  • What is being traded away is chlorine reduction and genuine hardness removal, in exchange for the lowest-maintenance scale control Kind makes.

  NuvoH2O Manor Duo + Sediment Filter

  • NuvoH2O does not publish a micron rating for the sediment cartridge, which is the single number that would tell a buyer whether it is a coarse guard or a fine polish.
