What is the HALO System?
The HALO Whole House Filtration System is a high-efficiency, no-salt solution that purifies and conditions your home's entire water supply from the point it enters your plumbing system. Unlike traditional water softeners that use salt and require regular service, HALO works without chemicals, filters, or electrical components.
The system uses a five-stage media tank, each stage layered with a specific filtration or conditioning material. Together, they address issues such as poor taste, chlorine odors, sediment, heavy metals, and hard water minerals. This means your water isn’t just safer — it’s also softer on your skin, clothes, fixtures, and appliances.

Best of all, this system is virtually maintenance-free and comes with a decade-long manufacturer’s warranty, offering hassle-free performance and reliability for years to come.
Breakdown of the 5 Filtration and Conditioning Stages
GAC (Granular Activated Carbon)
This first stage targets chlorine compounds, volatile organic chemicals, and unpleasant odors that negatively impact both taste and safety. GAC is highly porous and works by adsorption, trapping contaminants within its structure. It's highly effective in eliminating disinfectant by-products and improving the overall aesthetic quality of municipal water.
HAC (High Activity Carbon)
HAC is a catalytic-grade carbon media designed to reduce residual chemicals and organic compounds further. It addresses chloramines and solvents that may persist beyond basic filtration. This stage enhances water clarity and neutralizes odors, providing a high-polish finish that’s ideal for consumption and use across the home.
AG Plus Media
This environmentally friendly, natural media removes fine particulates such as silt, sand, and cloudiness caused by suspended solids. It filters down to 5 microns or smaller, improving water clarity dramatically. Its large surface area and micro-porous structure make it ideal for high-flow, whole-house systems.
High-Density Filter Media
This durable filtration media captures ultra-fine particles missed in earlier stages. It effectively filters down to the 10–20 micron range and supports the performance of upper filtration layers by maintaining consistent flow rates. Its high specific gravity helps maintain a layered structure inside the tank for long-term efficiency.
HALO ION Conditioner
This proprietary in-line conditioning stage uses a permanent magnetic field to alter the ionic behavior of calcium and magnesium, the minerals responsible for scale. Rather than removing them, it keeps these minerals in suspension, preventing buildup and protecting plumbing and appliances. It also gradually reduces the existing scale within the system over time.

Benefits of Choosing the HALO System
Worry-Free Operation
Forget maintenance schedules or filter swaps. The HALO operates independently, so you enjoy better water without lifting a finger. There are no cartridges to replace, no salt to refill, and no backwashing required. The system quietly works behind the scenes, delivering consistent water quality every day for years.
No Salt or Chemicals
Unlike traditional softeners, HALO uses advanced magnetic technology to treat scale, eliminating the need for salt or additives. This eco-friendly approach means there’s no brine discharge harming the environment and no sodium introduced into your water, making it healthier for people, pets, and plants.
Clean Water Everywhere
From your kitchen to your showers, every outlet in your home delivers filtered water that’s healthier and more enjoyable to use. Whether you're cooking, washing clothes, or bathing, you'll experience water that’s free of chlorine odors, sediment, and chemical aftertastes — all without using bottled alternatives.
Gentle on Appliances and Fixtures
By preventing scale buildup, HALO protects your dishwasher, washer, and water heater from mineral damage. This reduces wear and tear on internal components, improves efficiency, and helps extend appliance lifespans, minimizing costly repairs and replacements over time.
Better Skin and Hair
Filtered water helps reduce irritation, dryness, and chemical residue, leaving your skin and hair feeling soft and nourished. Many people notice a reduction in eczema flare-ups and scalp issues, as chlorine and other harsh elements are no longer present in shower and bath water.
Long-Term Cost Savings
No need for bottled water, extra detergents, or appliance repairs. HALO helps you save on everyday costs while adding long-term value. With fewer plumbing issues, extended appliance life, and less spending on cleaning products, the system pays for itself in both convenience and financial return.

What our customers say
We had a broken knob in our shower and the water was constantly running. The team was amazing and provided very quick turnaround of our issue.
Merilyn V.
Xavier did a fantastic job replacing our laundry room water valves. He professionally diagnosed the problem, explained the process to fix, and completed the removal and installation. The repair including soldering the replacement piping and faucets into place. Excellent job!
Greg K.
I have used XM twice - once to replace a cartridge in my shower that was causing the shower head to leak, and the other to replace the piping and air gap attached to my dishwasher/disposal. Each time, Xavier was able to diagnose the problem quickly (and accurately) and make all necessary repairs. He is responsive, prompt and knowledgeable. XM is the only plumber I will call from now on.
James M.
He found plumbing problems that I didn't know existed. He repaired all plumbing issues. Made one trip to plumbing supply for parts. Both toilets work like new and they're quieter to flush now. He was more expensive than I expected. I would recommend him and I would hire him again for any further plumbing repairs. He was very nice. Extremely knowledgeable on plumbing issues.
