Just Because It’s City Water…
Doesn’t Mean It’s Clean.
City water may be treated—but that doesn’t mean it’s pure. From chlorine and chloramine to lead leaching through old pipes, municipal water can carry a hidden load of chemicals and contaminants straight to your tap.
If you're trusting your city to protect your home and your family, you might be trusting too much.
CITY
FILTERS
MUNICIPAL SUPPLIED WATER
What’s Lurking in Your City Tap?
CHLORINE & CHLORAMINE
Harsh disinfectants that dry out skin, ruin hair, and leave your water smelling like a pool.
LEAD &
COPPER
Can leach into water from aging infrastructure or outdated plumbing in your own home.
PFAS & FOREVER CHEMICALS
Found in drinking water across the U.S. linked to cancer, hormone issues, and more.
BAD TASTE & ODORS

At Defcon Water we believe in building your own line of defense.

TESTIMONIALS
Hear What Our Clients Have to Say
“I sleep better knowing we’re ready for anything.”
After Hurricane Ian, our neighborhood was without clean water for three days. I promised my wife we’d never be in that position again. Defcon Water built a system tailored to our well, and now we have full-home protection—no matter what happens
James T., Ocala, FL
“The only system that made me feel truly protected.”
I looked at a lot of options, but nothing compared to Defcon. The fact that it’s built for biological and chemical threats really set it apart. Our city water has had boil notices twice this year—now I don’t even worry about it.
Melissa R., Dallas, TX

Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered Clearly
Is city water already filtered?
It’s treated to meet minimum safety standards, but that doesn’t mean it’s free from all contaminants—or that it tastes good. Chlorine, lead, and other chemicals are still common.
What’s the white buildup on my faucets and shower doors?
That’s hard water scale—caused by calcium and magnesium. Our Defcon 3 softener removes these minerals, protecting your fixtures, appliances, and skin.
Does carbon filtration remove chlorine and bad taste?
Yes. Activated carbon is highly effective at removing chlorine, chloramine, and many chemicals that cause poor taste or odor in your water.
Is this just for off-grid or prepper families?
Not at all. While many off-grid families choose us for our resilience features, most of our clients are everyday homeowners who just want to know their water is safe—now and if something goes wrong.
Why add RO if I already have a carbon filter?
Carbon filters clean your water broadly. RO takes it to the next level—removing the smallest and most stubborn contaminants at the point of use. It’s the difference between filtered and purified.
Will this system help my skin and hair?
Absolutely. Hard water and chlorine can irritate skin and dry out hair. Softening and filtering your city water can make a noticeable difference in just days.
Will it remove chlorine taste and smell?
Absolutely. Our systems not only remove chlorine and chloramines but improve the overall taste, smell, and clarity of your water—even in the shower.
What is the lifespan of a Defcon Water system?
With proper maintenance, our systems are built to last 10–15 years or more. Components like carbon filters and RO membranes will need routine replacements, which we provide as part of our ongoing support.
Does your system remove fluoride?
Only our point-of-use reverse osmosis system (included in Defcon 1) effectively removes fluoride. Most city water contains added fluoride, and RO is one of the few filtration methods that can reduce it to safe levels.
Can I use this system in an apartment or rental home?
Yes, but usually only the point-of-use RO system. It’s compact and easy to install under most kitchen sinks. For softeners and whole-home filters, we recommend checking with your landlord or property manager first.
Will this reduce water pressure in my home?
Our systems are engineered to maintain strong water pressure throughout your home. Proper sizing and professional installation help ensure performance stays high, even with added filtration.
How do I know which Defcon level is right for me?
We offer free consultations and can analyze your current water quality. From there, we’ll recommend the best system based on your goals—whether it’s basic protection, full-home filtration, or maximum drinking water purity. To book a free consultation, CLICK HERE
What maintenance is required?
It depends on your system. Softeners require salt refills. Carbon filters and RO membranes need scheduled replacements. We offer reminder services, maintenance plans, and even auto-ship options to keep everything running smoothly.
