Enjoy Better Water Throughout Your Home
Living in New Mexico presents unique challenges for municipal water. Homeowners often notice unpleasant tastes, odors, and contaminants such as chlorine in their tap water. Even minor water issues can impact your cooking, your family’s health, and the reliability of appliances and plumbing. The RainSoft QRS whole-home carbon filtration system is designed as a comprehensive solution for New Mexico homes, helping reduce unwanted tastes and odors, support longer-lasting appliances, and provide better water for drinking, cleaning, and bathing.
How the QRS Whole-House Carbon Filtration System Works
The QRS carbon filter system provides a straightforward way to deliver cleaner water to every tap in the home. When municipal water enters your home, it first passes through a tank filled with highly activated carbon media. This specialized carbon attracts and absorbs chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other contaminants through reduction processes certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42. The filtered water then flows to each faucet, appliance, and shower, improving water quality where it is needed most.
For hard water or advanced purification (like PFOA/PFOS or heavy metals), you may consider pairing the QRS with a RainSoft EC5 water conditioner or the Ultreflo Protect Whole Home Filter for complete home water quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
A carbon filter like the QRS is designed to reduce chlorine, foul tastes and odors, and certain chemical contaminants. By contrast, a water softener addresses hardness minerals, while a reverse osmosis system targets a broader range of dissolved impurities in a single tap (typically drinking water). Many homeowners choose to combine these technologies for a comprehensive solution.
The structural components of the QRS carbon filtration system are built for long-term durability and include a limited lifetime warranty. The activated carbon media inside the unit requires periodic replacement, which depends on your water quality and usage, but is generally less frequent than for cartridge filters.

What Our Customers Say
Matt Bowen did a great presentation and we decided to go with the system. Main reasons was we recently remodeled our bathroom and wanted to protect it from the calcium build up. We also wanted to get away from the bottled water and get some good clean drinking water. I'm able to use it for my coffee, ice tray, and cooking. We noticed a difference with the shower and my hair looked pretty and soft. We highly recommend the system and Matt for any of your water treatment needs. The plumber Izaiah was really nice and did a great job with the install.
Great customer service and communication! Matt was helpful to work with and identified our need for Rain Soft through several tests of visibility, feel and taste. There is an immediate difference noticed in the quality with a Rain Soft Water System and we are happy to be converting to clean water. Thank you!
We had a great experience getting our water system installed! The customer service was excellent from start to finish. Sean, the gentleman who came to our home, was polite, professional, and very knowledgeable — he took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we understood how the system works. We’re very happy with the results and highly recommend this company for anyone considering a water system in New Mexico.
