Stage 1 — Sediment Guard Filter
The Sediment Guard Filter captures sediment and particulate matter before water reaches downstream filtration stages.
Constructed with durable polypropylene and a radial pleat design, this high-flow filter traps both large and small particles while maintaining strong water pressure throughout the home.
Benefits include:
• protects downstream filtration media
• prevents premature clogging
• maintains consistent system flow
• extends overall system performance
This stage is NSF 42 certified and designed specifically for whole-home filtration applications.
Stage 2 — Lead Barrier Pro Filter
Every Santé Smart System refill pack begins with a catalytic carbon foundation, the core filtration standard used across all configurations.
The Lead Barrier Pro configuration enhances this foundation with advanced lead-capturing media designed to target fine particulate lead while maintaining high flow performance.
This filter specializes in addressing contaminants commonly associated with older infrastructure and legacy plumbing systems, including:
• lead
• volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
• chlorine taste and odor
• fine particulate contaminants
The combination of catalytic carbon and specialized lead-capture media allows this configuration to focus on fine-particle filtration and heavy metal reduction without sacrificing flow performance across the home.
Stage 3 — PFOS Ultra Filter
The PFOS Ultra filter provides final-stage protection against PFAS compounds, including PFOS, PFOA, and GenX.
Constructed with proprietary high-density acid-washed coal-based carbon infused with specialized media, this filter is engineered to remove PFOS compounds down to extremely low concentrations.
This stage is NSF 42 and NSF 372 certified and acts as the final safeguard before water enters your home's plumbing system.
