From the public supply to your tap

Make the information
useful for your home.

Bring the report for your actual supplier and tell us what you notice: scale, staining, taste, odour or a concern with existing equipment. We connect the available information with an assessment at your property.

  • Confirm the sourceCheck the supplier on your utility account or identify the private well. Nearby properties can use different water systems.
  • Ask for the right recordsLook for the latest drinking-water analysis and the sample location. A treatment-plant result and a distribution-system result describe different points.
  • Plan around your householdWater chemistry, daily demand, flow, plumbing and service access shape the equipment recommendation.

A LiveSmart recommendation for every home

Better drinking water starts with HydroPure RO.

LiveSmart recommends a HydroPure reverse-osmosis drinking-water system in every home for cleaner, better-tasting water used for drinking, coffee, cooking and ice. Municipal treatment protects the public supply; point-of-use RO provides an additional treatment step at the kitchen tap. Reduction claims depend on the verified system configuration, certification and proper maintenance.

HydroPure RO

Recommended for every home. Final configuration is selected for the household and verified against the water at the tap.

Whole-home treatment

When testing confirms hardness, disinfectant taste or odour, iron, manganese, sediment or microbiological concerns, LiveSmart can add the appropriate SoftFlow, CarbonShield, IronShield or UV Guard treatment.

Results apply to the named supply, date and sample location. A “<” result is below the stated laboratory reporting limit, not zero. Hardness conversions use 1 US GPG = 17.118 mg/L as CaCO₃. Parameters without a reported result remain unverified; a missing value is not a zero reading. Source-water results describe water before treatment. Confirm the water at your home before treatment is selected or programmed.
