Crystal Quest Tannin Whole House Water Filter – 9-13 GPM Tannin Reduction System
The Crystal Quest Tannin Whole House Water Filter is a point-of-entry filtration system designed to reduce tannins from incoming household water. This system connects to the main water line and uses a tannin-reducing mineral tank with metered automatic backwashing controlled by a control valve. It is available with 1.5 cubic feet or 2.0 cubic feet of filter media, with listed service flow rates of 9-11 GPM and 10-13 GPM depending on the selected size. Configuration options include standalone tannin filtration, tannin filtration with SMART Filter, tannin filtration with softener, or tannin filtration with both SMART Filter and softener. A nearby power outlet is required for the control valve, and sodium or potassium pellets are used in the brine tank for regeneration support.
Whole-House Tannin Reduction at the Main Line
This Crystal Quest system is designed for homes where tannins are affecting incoming water quality. By treating water at the point of entry, the system helps address tannin concerns before water reaches fixtures throughout the home.
Metered Automatic Backwashing Operation
The tannin filtration system uses a metered control valve that initiates the backwash cycle after a programmed gallon amount is reached. Crystal Quest notes approximately 40 gallons of water are used to regenerate the system.
Pre-Filtration and Post-Filtration Support
Water first passes through a 20" sediment cartridge to reduce sediment, silt, sand, and dirt. After the tannin-reducing mineral tank, water flows through a 20" carbon block filter cartridge for additional post-filtration support.
Softener and SMART Filter Configuration Options
The system can be ordered with optional SMART Filter support, optional water softening, or both. Crystal Quest lists tannin and hardness limits for this system, so a softener configuration may be appropriate when hardness treatment is also needed.
This tannin whole house water filter is built for homeowners who need a centralized treatment system for tannin-related water concerns. Select the media volume, tank material, and configuration based on tested water conditions and household flow demand.
Optional add-ons such as SMART filtration, a softener, UV sterilizer, leak detector valve, vacuum breaker, metered valve, and oxidation system help configure the setup around tested water conditions and installation needs.
