Filtration designed for today’s drinking water concerns

Culligan with MaxClear Technology gravity filtration systems are designed to help reduce contaminants commonly found in drinking water, including microplastics, PFAS, lead, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides.
PFAS
Linked to long-term health concerns and increasingly detected in U.S. water supplies. Over 143 million Americans are estimated to have PFAS in their drinking water.
Lead
A toxic heavy metal that can leach into water through aging pipes and household plumbing. An estimated 9 million U.S. homes still receive water through lead service lines.
Microplastics
Tiny plastic particles that can enter drinking water from environmental and household sources. A global study found microplastics in over 80% of tap water samples tested worldwide.
Pharmaceuticals
Compounds from prescription and over-the-counter drugs that can persist in water sources. Testing at 25 U.S. water treatment plants detected 118 distinct pharmaceutical compounds in treated drinking water.
Pesticides
Chemicals used in agriculture that can migrate into groundwater and surface water sources. Pesticides were detected in 41% of U.S. public drinking water supply wells tested.
Chlorine & Chloramines
Commonly used disinfectants that can impact taste, odor, and overall water enjoyment. About 98% of U.S. water treatment systems use chlorine-based disinfection to help provide safe drinking water.

Our filters are made with a ceramic shell, high-flow carbon block, and granular activated carbon. While many competitive filters only use carbon elements, our hybrid approach to water filtration works to effectively reduce harmful contaminants while maintaining a strong flow rate.

The more filters you use, the more capacity you get. Choose what fits your needs and scale as you go.

1 filter: 50 gallons
2 filters: 100 gallons
3 filters: 150 gallons

Scout systems are certified for use with 1 and 2 filters.
Venture systems are certified for use with 1, 2, and 3 filters.

Yes. The activated carbon inside MaxClear filters is derived from coconut shell, a natural, environmentally friendly material known for its effective filtration properties. Coconut is a safe, non-leaching option that helps reduce contaminants and improve taste.



Not at all. A steady, controlled flow is part of the design. It allows for deeper filtration and more effective and powerful contaminant reduction.
