Filtered water systems will prevent unwanted contaminants including heavy metals, pesticides, and arsenic from getting into your drinking water. These systems will leave minerals such as calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Most filtered water systems use activated carbon to treat tap water. Filtered water systems also don’t reduce scaling.
Why do people select an activated carbon filtration system for their homes? The biggest reason is to remove a chlorine tastes and smell from the water.
Iron/Odor Filtration Systems
A perfect compliment to your water softener system, Kohley’s iron filtration systems help to lengthen the life of your appliances, water heaters, and water softeners. These filtration systems help eliminate impurities that may cause that iron taste and the sulfur smell in your water.
The Smart Water Plus Extractor
The Extractor System reduces undesirable iron and sulfur levels in water supplies without the use of harmful chemicals. The Extractor operates on two basic principles; Oxidation and Filtration. When the oxygen component of air is induced into water it reacts with iron, sulfur, and manganese to form particles or oxides.
The second principle, filtration, uses granular media to filter out the precipitated oxides. The filtered water, still rich in dissolved oxygen, leaves the system virtually free of iron and sulfur. Clear, odor-free and iron-free water is provided at every turn of the tap.

Lead and Cyst Filtration Systems
Pioneer™ Lead and Cyst Whole House Filtration System
Pioneer™ is specifically designed at a 0.5-micron nominal filtration level, to remove both particulate and soluble lead from your drinking water. Soluble lead is invisible, odorless, tasteless, and needs to be chemically removed from the water. Particulate lead is like a tiny grain of sand that needs to be physically removed from the water.
Not only does Pioneer™ remove heavy metals such as lead, but it also removes and/or reduces PFAS chemicals PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) and PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonic acid). These chemicals are bio-permanent, resistance to direct oxidation, and do not break down naturally in the environment or the human body. The Pioneer™ has been tested and third-party certified as required in the NSF/ANSI P473 standard for PFOA/PFAS.
Product Features
- Whole house cartridge filter
- Reduces lead, PFAS chemicals, chlorine, chloramine, and other harmful contaminants in your water, including >99.95% of Cysts
- Long filter life for up to 100,000 gallons or 1 year
- Eliminates bottle water purchases
- Best whole house flow rate production
- Metered so homeowner knows when the filter needs to be changed, increasing safety
- State-of-the-art snap-ring technology for easy filter replacement
