• FAQs:

  Q:What sets the FC-1000 apart from other water filters
  A: What makes the FC-1000 unique is the dual-function design that reduces chlorine taste and odor while preventing scale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and appliances without salt or chemicals.
  Features that set it apart:

  • Upflow, no-backwash design, so there is no need for electricity or regular maintenance.
  • Vortech® distribution plate to improve flow and maximize contact time, allowing for more effective filtration.
  • Scale control media (SCM) to protect plumbing and fixtures without removing beneficial minerals.
  • High flow capacity that can deliver 4 GPM service flow and up to 7 GPM peak flow for whole-home use.
  • Simple, low-maintenance system that involves no salt, no filters to change, and no required routine cleaning.

  Q: What type of water is necessary for the FC-1000?
  A: The A. O. Smith FC-1000 is meant for municipal water or water that has been properly disinfected and treated. This system is not compatible with untreated or microbiologically unsafe water, including well water that may contain bacteria, viruses, or other harmful microorganisms.

  Q: What kind of maintenance does the FC-1000 require?
  A: This system requires minimal maintenance. Filter changes are necessary when it reaches capacity at 500,000 gallons or after the recommended service interval, whichever comes first. The integrated PID display also shows real-time flow rate, gallons remaining, and color-coded alerts to let you know when service is needed.
