The Crystal Quest Metal Removal Whole House Water Filtration is a point-of-entry water treatment system designed to reduce iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide before water reaches household fixtures. It is available in 1.5 cubic foot and 2.0 cubic foot media-volume options, with stainless steel or fiberglass tank structures. Configuration choices include standalone metal removal, metal removal with SMART Filter, metal removal with softener, or metal removal with both SMART Filter and softening. The system uses an iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide reducing mineral tank, with 20" sediment pre-filtration and 20" solid carbon post-filtration described in the source materials. With listed service flow rates of 9-11 GPM for the 1.5 cubic foot system and 10-13 GPM for the 2.0 cubic foot system, this whole house metal removal water filter should be selected based on water testing, source-water conditions, service-flow demand, tank material preference, and whether added filtration or softening is needed.
This Crystal Quest system is designed for point-of-entry treatment where iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide reduction are the main goals. It is especially relevant for well-water applications where staining, metallic taste, black specks, rust flakes, or rotten-egg odor may be tied to these source-water conditions.
Water flows through a mineral tank designed to reduce iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide. Crystal Quest also adds Eagle Redox Alloy 6500 and 9500 media to the metal removal tank to help inhibit bacterial growth within the media bed.
The standalone system focuses on metal removal. Buyers can add SMART Filter support for broader filtration, choose a softener configuration for hard-water treatment, or select a combined SMART Filter and softener setup when both are needed.
The system is available in fiberglass or stainless steel tank structures. Confirm the best tank material for the installation environment, water conditions, and maintenance preferences before ordering.
This whole-house metal removal filter is built for homes where iron, manganese, or hydrogen sulfide reduction is needed at the main water line. It is best selected after water testing, with media size, flow rate, tank material, and optional softener or SMART Filter choices matched to the property.
Choose standalone metal removal, add SMART Filter support, add softening, or combine SMART Filter support with a softener based on water conditions. Optional accessories may support leak detection, UV treatment, pressure-related protection, or oxidation needs where available.
