HTO Whole House System
Unique 2- Tank system that filters out hardness, odor and bad taste. Truly Refined water thoughout your home.
630-896-2511
A Complete Water Refining System For Your Home
Rid your water of hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) plus filter out bad tastes and odor caused by chlorine, chloramines or organic matter.
The unique two tank system keeps the two media beds separate, allowing for more carbon contact which greatly improves the removal of chlorine, chloramines and organics. Because the carbon typically needs to be replaced before the softening resin, the two tank system allows for easy cost effective replacement. You get the same benefit as a separate water softener and whole-house carbon filter for a much lower price as the single control valve operates both systems.
Features:
- Two tank carbon system keeps media beds separate, allowing for more carbon contact for improved chlorine, chloramines and organic removal.
- Carbon can be replaced without replacing the resin bed
- Same benefit as separate systems but with cost of only one control valve
- Salt-efficient Up Flow Regeneration
- Exclusive NSF Certified electronic control valve with seven year warranty featuring proven piston, seal & spacer technology
- Fully adjustable cycles allow customization to the most efficient settings based on specific water quality requirements
- Backlit LCD display screen with no confusing codes or symbols. The 89 Control features a large 4 line / 80 character touch pad screen. The 785 control features a 2 line / 32
character display with rotating information display (i.e. date last regenerated, volume
remaining).
Now You can enjoy Truly fefined water throughout your home.
- Great tasting water
- Odor-free. No chlorine!
- Soft skin & silky hair
- Spot free dishes

What the HTO Whole‑House System Actually Offers
At its core, Barrett’s HTO Whole‑House System is an integrated water refining solution designed to:
- Eliminate hardness minerals—namely calcium and magnesium—that cause scale buildup in pipes, fixtures, and appliances.
- Filter out chlorine, chloramines, and organic contaminants that create unpleasant tastes, odors, and potential health concerns.
The system achieves this through its distinct two‑tank design, which separates the two media beds:
- One tank houses the softening resin, dedicated to exchanging hard minerals for sodium ions (the softening process).
- The other tank contains activated carbon media, specialized for adsorbing chlorine, chloramines, and organic compounds.
Why Contacting Barrett’s Is a Smart Move:
A. Local Expertise Means Tailored Solutions
Barrett’s serves communities across DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will Counties—including your area—so they understand local water profiles (e.g., chlorine levels, hardness ratings, seasonal variations, and any unique concerns).
- They can perform onsite testing to confirm your water’s specific characteristics.
- Then they’ll size the HTO system appropriately—tailoring resin and carbon quantities to match your household needs and local water demand.
B. Professional Installation Ensures Reliability
- Proper installation of a whole-house system matters: it must maintain sufficient pressure, allow for future servicing, and maximize media effectiveness.
- Barrett’s reputation for clean, efficient installation—with clean-up included—gives you peace of mind that everything will be done right.

Michael - Yorkville, IL 60560
I couldn’t be happier with the service Tony at Barrett’s provided. We needed a water filtration system and softener installed urgently, and he was able to accommodate us on short notice. He arrived on time, completed the installation quickly, and made sure everything was set up correctly. What I appreciated most was how clearly he explained the system—how it works, what maintenance looks like, and what to expect from our water quality. Top-notch service, great communication, and extremely professional. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for water system installation
Excellent service
Jerry - Sugar Grove, IL 60554
Very satisfied with the knowledge and service. Ryan checked out our water softener and recommended a new one. He came back after hours and installed one for us. He was very respectful in our home and definitely made sure we were taken care of before leaving. We would highly recommend Barrett’s Water Softener
Great service
Ashley - St. Charles, IL 60175
My system is from another company. I was having issues and other companies and plumbers wouldn’t come out and help me. Ryan came to my house and went above and beyond to help me. My osmosis system has not been looked at it since I bought it which was five years ago and no one told me those filters needed to be changed. He helped me find the filter i need for my older system. The company that put on my system was rather messy and he came in and organized it and showed me how to keep an eye on things. I appreciated how he went out of his way to help me. I already recommended them to a family member. Very impressed. Thank you
