XL Softener + Filtration

48,000 grain softener with carbon filtration · single tank

Same softener-and-carbon design as the standard, with a wider tank and a third more resin. It regenerates less often and keeps up with more people and harder water.

Best for: Larger households or very hard water.

Bluejay XL Softener + Filtration system with brine tank

What it fixes

  • Hardness
  • Scale and spots
  • Chlorine taste and smell

How it works

In plain terms.

  1. Carbon layer

    Takes out chlorine taste and smell as water enters.

  2. Larger resin bed

    More resin means more capacity between regenerations.

  3. Automatic regeneration

    The valve tracks your use and recharges only when it needs to.

Bluejay Standard Whole-Home Softener + Filtration system with brine tank
Top pick for city water

Standard Whole-Home Softener + Filtration

36,000 grains. Softening and chlorine filtration in a single tank.

Takes care of the two problems most city-water homes around Gainesville and Lake City have: hard water that scales up your pipes and water heater, and chlorine you can taste in your coffee and feel on your skin and hair. One tank, one control valve, one clean install.

Best for: Most 3 to 4 bedroom homes on city water

Bluejay Dual Tank City Water softener and filter system with brine tank

Dual Tank, City Water

Separate softening and carbon tanks for big homes.

A dedicated softening tank and a separate self-cleaning carbon tank. Splitting the jobs means more capacity and longer media life for homes that use a lot of water.

Best for: Large homes on city water with high use.

Bluejay Tankless RO system
Top pick for drinking water

Tankless RO

800 gallons a day, 7 stages, and no storage tank under your sink.

Compact tankless reverse osmosis with seven stages of filtration and built-in alkaline remineralization. It works to remove heavy metals, chlorine and dissolved solids, and it adds beneficial minerals back in. The coconut-carbon filter gives you a smoother, fresher taste. Its 2:1 drain ratio wastes far less water than a standard RO, and with no storage tank it frees up space under your sink.

Best for: Anyone who wants cleaner water for drinking and cooking

Questions

About the XL Softener + Filtration

How do I know if I need the XL?

We size it from your hardness reading and how many people live in the house. If the standard would regenerate too often, we'll recommend the XL and show you why.
