Flow is how much, at once.
GPM means gallons per minute. Consider fixtures used at the same time, source pressure and installation—not bathroom count alone.

Choosing your Purative
Size for demand. Plan for care.
Essential is the compact, lower-flow format. Plus increases flow and capacity. Max offers greater reference capacity than Plus—not a higher reference flow.
Capacity is water treated over time.
Reference gallon capacity helps compare models. It is not a guarantee of months between filter changes.

Make room for installation.
Cartridge format is not the assembled system’s dimensions. Before purchase, review the model’s installed dimensions, connection size and cartridge-change clearance with your installer.
Budget beyond the system.
Installation is arranged separately. Your water may need additional treatment. Replacement timing depends on water quality, usage and model-specific service guidance.
Reference flow and capacity relate to the corresponding underlying system documentation. Confirm model selection and applicable performance details for your water. Listed prices are subject to final ordering details.

A health-first approach
The water leaving this system goes everywhere else in the home.
Home Essential is not just about better-tasting water at one faucet.
It is about treating water before it becomes part of the rest of the house — drinking, cooking, showers, baths, laundry, and everyday use.
How Purative works
Three stages. Three different jobs.
01 / Sediment + scale management
Captures larger sediment and helps manage scale formation before the advanced filtration stages.
02 / MicronGuard™
High-surface-area filtration media and electropositive filtration form the advanced core of the system.
03 / Carbon finishing
A final carbon-based stage supports applicable contaminant-reduction claims and helps polish the water before it moves through the home.
Designed with intention
The water your family uses every day.
We designed Purative to combine multiple treatment functions in a compact, serviceable system without traditional salt regeneration or a routine regeneration drain.
That matters because our focus is not simply scale or appliance protection.
Our focus is the water the family uses every day.
Point-of-entry installation
Treat the water before it reaches the rest of the home.
Home Essential is installed on the main water line. A proper installation includes isolation valves, a bypass line and clearance for cartridge changes.
Ask about installation ↗- Professional installation recommended
- Isolation valves and a service bypass
- Clearance for cartridge changes
- No routine regeneration drain or electronic regeneration controller for the base cartridge system
- Private wells need a water review before system selection

What can it prove?
We want customers to see the evidence.
From sediment and chlorine to PFAS and microbial concerns, different contaminants call for different treatment mechanisms. Explore the treatment approach and performance basis for each category.
| Contaminant or concern | Treatment approach | Performance support |
|---|---|---|
| Chlorine, taste & odor | Carbon filtration | NSF/ANSI 42 claim on corresponding platform models¹ |
| Sediment & suspended particles | Sediment capture and fine-particle filtration | Particulate Class I listed under NSF/ANSI 42¹ |
| PFAS, including PFOA & PFOS | MicronGuard™ and carbon treatment | Total PFAS listed under NSF/ANSI 53; not every PFAS compound¹ |
| Bacteria | MicronGuard™ capture | Developer-reported laboratory performance² |
| Viruses | MicronGuard™ capture | Developer-reported laboratory performance² |
| Cysts | MicronGuard™ capture | Developer-reported reduction² |
| Spores | MicronGuard™ capture | Developer-reported reduction² |
| Lead | Advanced media and carbon treatment | Developer-reported reduction² |
| Other heavy metals | Media-dependent capture or adsorption | Developer-reported performance; varies by metal and form² |
| Pesticides | Activated-carbon adsorption | Developer-reported, compound-specific performance² |
| Pharmaceuticals | Advanced media and carbon adsorption | Developer-reported, compound-specific performance² |
| Hard-water scale | Salt-free scale management | Designed to limit scale; does not remove hardness minerals |
¹ Certified claims refer to corresponding underlying platform models. ² Developer-reported laboratory or technical results are separate from certification. Performance varies by model, contaminant, water conditions and service life.
Follow local boil-water advisories. Filtration alone should not be relied on to make microbiologically unsafe or unknown-quality water safe.

Clear answers. A practical next step.
Purative provides whole-home filtration at the main water line. AquaTru provides reverse-osmosis purification for drinking and cooking water.
Start my water assessment →What is the difference between filtration, softening and RO?
Filtration targets specific particles and contaminants. A conventional softener removes hardness minerals through ion exchange. Reverse osmosis reduces dissolved solids for drinking and cooking water. Purative combines filtration and scale management; it does not replace a softener when soft water is the goal.
If I choose Purative, do I still need AquaTru?
It depends on your water and goals. Purative provides whole-home filtration. AquaTru adds reverse osmosis at the kitchen for drinking and cooking water. You may choose either approach or both; a water review can help you decide.
When will my Purative system ship?
Purative systems ship from Water & Wellness in 14–21 days after ordering. Delivery transit time is additional. Payment is collected at checkout. A water review is optional and does not place an order.
What comes with Purative, and who installs it?
Purative uses a three-stage cartridge assembly. Before you order, we’ll walk through the exact package contents and the plumbing parts your installation needs. Professional installation is recommended at the main water line, with isolation valves, a service bypass and room to change cartridges. Water & Wellness fulfills the system order; installation is arranged separately.
How much should I budget?
Current listed system prices are $1,295 for Home Essential, $2,995 for Home Plus and $4,500 for Home Max. Matched replacement sets are listed at $349, $490 and $795 respectively. Plan separately for installation and any additional treatment your water requires. Final shipping, tax and order details will be provided before purchase.
How often will I replace Purative filters?
Replacement timing depends on water quality, usage and model-specific service guidance. Reference gallon capacity is not a guaranteed calendar interval. We’ll review care requirements before purchase; replacement-set ordering is not open yet.
What if I have well water, heavy scale or an existing softener?
Start with a water review. Tell us about your source water, concerns and existing treatment. Keep any existing treatment in place until the proposed setup has been reviewed for your water and installation.
