CSC 10″ compact city water filtration station - Salt-free - For the whole house
How to filter mains water at the house entrance without a salt softener?
The CSC 9"3/4 Triplex city water filtration station treats incoming water without salt, electricity or electronic programming. It combines three complementary actions: scale inhibition (food-grade silico-polyphosphate), sediment filtration (50 microns) and reduction of chlorine, PFAS, pesticides and VOCs thanks to the activated carbon block. Unlike a traditional softener, it does not alter the water's natural mineral content, and generates no saline discharge.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between an anti-scale filter and a softener?
An anti-scale filter modifies the crystallization of calcium carbonate to limit scale adhesion.
A salt softener exchanges calcium/magnesium ions for sodium.
The CSC station works without salt, without rejects, without electronics or electrical connections, and without water loss.
Is it possible to filter the whole house with a compact system?
Yes. Installed on the cold water inlet with by-pass, the CSC station protects pipes, water heaters and household appliances, while improving domestic water quality.
Does the CSC station reduce PFAS?
Yes, the activated carbon block (Ref. CSC10-3) helps reduce PFAS, VOCs and organic residues in tap water.
Is a point-of-entry station enough to make water completely potable?
No. Complete, safe drinking water potabilization must be achieved downstream, using a non-reservoir osmosis plant with plant mineralization, in order to eliminate a broader spectrum of contaminants that cannot be treated at the point of entry.
How to choose between CSC 10″ and CSC 20″?
- Choose the CSC 10″ if you live in an apartment with a water point, or if your consumption is low to moderate (smaller cartridges, shorter average life).
- Choose the CSC 20″ if you live in a house, with several water points or higher consumption (larger cartridges, higher filtration capacity, less frequent renewal).
→ Fewer changes, fewer constraints for large families or high consumption.
Economical and ecological
Triple filtration station for the whole house. Compact (32 × 42 × 16 cm), ecological and without electronics, it filters, protects against limescale and improves water quality without salt or waste.
Water passes through aging pipes loaded with sediment and limescale. The CSC station acts in 3 stages:
N°1 - Anti-scaling & anti-corrosion (CSC10-1)
Food-grade silicophosphate crystals + micro-filtration foam. Limits limescale formation (≤ 35°F). Water heatable up to max. 80°C; beyond that, the desired anti-scale effect is cancelled.
N°2 - Sediment 50 µ (CSC10-2)
NSF/ANSI 42 expanded polypropylene cartridge. Removes sand, sludge and suspended particles from tap water.
N°3 - Activated carbon block 10 µ (CSC10-3)
Reduces chlorine, PFAS, pesticides, VOCs, COD. Improves taste and odor. NSF/ANSI 42.
COD: "Chemical Oxygen Demand", measures the quantity of organic matter in water (variable according to persistent pollutants, particularly pesticides).
VOC: "Volatile Organic Compounds" (petroleum derivatives, halogenated compounds containing chlorine, fluorine, iodine, etc.).
Simplified maintenance and renewal
N°2 and N°3 cartridges: 12 months*.
N°1 crystals: 12 to 24 months*
(*depending on quality and volume ≤ 15,000 L)
- Clean the bowls each time you replace the cartridges.
- Apply our food-grade grease to the O-rings. Replace seals if pinched.
- Transparent polycarbonate bowls, suitable for standard 10" filters.
- Secure assembly and opening: the black head clamp is positioned higher up, reducing the risk of the key slipping.
Decompression vent: push-button air release.
Installation advice
By-pass recommended to isolate the filter assembly and avoid cutting off the general water supply during maintenance. Ready to install.
