Most whole-house filters handle one or two categories of contaminants. The Crystal Quest SMART handles fifteen. It is the flagship system in the Crystal Quest line, built to ISO standards and covering chlorine, chloramines, PFAS, PFOS, heavy metals, hydrogen sulfide, VOCs, THMs, pesticides, herbicides, iron oxides, and petroleum and pharmaceutical by-products from a single installation. If your water source is a well, a rural municipal supply, or anything in between, this system was built for it.
Crystal Quest SMART Whole House Water Filter Key Features
- Broadest Contaminant Removal: No other Crystal Quest whole-house system covers this range. Targets chlorine, chloramines, VOCs, THMs, PFAS, PFOS, heavy metals, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur, iron oxides, pesticides, herbicides, and petroleum and pharmaceutical by-products in a single system.
- SMART Multimedia Tank: The filter bed combines two types of coconut shell GAC (Standard and Catalytic), Eagle Redox Alloy 6500 and 9500, ion exchange resin, ceramic balls, and tourmaline balls. It balances pH to 6.5-8.5 and the media bed is bacteriostatic.
- Bacteriostatic Media: The multimedia bed resists bacterial growth between backwash cycles. This is built into the media itself, not a separate treatment step.
- ISO-Certified Manufacturing: Crystal Quest builds this system to ISO quality standards, which means verifiable production controls at every stage of manufacturing.
- 3-Stage Filtration Process: Water passes through a 20-inch sediment pre-filter, then the SMART Multimedia tank, then a 20-inch solid carbon post-filter that captures VOCs, insecticides, pesticides, and industrial solvents.
- Automatic Backwash: The control valve runs backwash on a set schedule. No manual cleaning required.
- High Capacity: The 1.5 cu ft configuration filters up to 1,000,000 gallons. The 2.0 cu ft configuration handles up to 1,500,000 gallons before media replacement is needed.
- Tank Material Choice: Available in stainless steel or fiberglass. Note: stainless steel tanks can develop pinholes and surface rust in high-humidity or coastal salt-air environments. If you are on the coast or in a humid climate, choose fiberglass.

Compatible Add-Ons
- UV Sterilizer (12 GPM): Kills bacteria and viruses at the point of entry. Recommended for well water or any source with biological contamination risk.
- Leak Detector: Shuts off the water supply automatically if a leak is detected. Solid insurance for any whole-house installation.
- Oxidation System: Pre-treats high iron and hydrogen sulfide levels before water enters the main tank. Add this if your water has a strong rotten-egg smell or visible iron staining.
- Traditional Water Softener: Uses ion exchange resin and a brine tank to remove calcium and magnesium hardness. This produces the slippery-skin feel typical of softened water. Requires periodic salt refills and a drain line for backwash discharge.
- Salt-Free Conditioner: Converts calcium into calcite crystals that pass through plumbing without forming scale. No brine tank, no salt, no backwash needed. Important: the conditioner does not remove calcium from the water. It changes the form of the calcium, not the amount. A standard hardness test after installation will still show the same reading, and water spotting on dishes remains possible. If actual hardness removal is your goal, choose the traditional softener.
