Why the FC-1000 Stands Out
The FC-1000 delivers cleaner, great-tasting water while protecting your plumbing with these features:
- Whole-Home Filtration: Coconut shell-activated carbon reduces chlorine taste and odor in the whole house.
- Salt-Free Scale Control: Prevents scale in your plumbing and hot water systems without salt, chemicals, or electricity
- Efficient Design: Vortech® plate technology and upflow design enhance water flow and minimize pressure loss without backwashing.
- Low Maintenance: No drain line or power connection is necessary to operate.
- Protects Plumbing and Appliances: Efficiently lowers internal scale buildup, which helps prolong the life of your water-using system.
- City Water Only: Not compatible with well water or non-city water sources.

FAQS:
Q: How is the FC-1000 different from other water filters?
A: The dual-function design, which reduces chlorine taste and odor while preventing scale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and appliances without salt or chemicals, is what sets the FC-1000 apart.
Unique Features:
- 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 water is required for the FC-1000?
A: Municipal water or water that has been properly disinfected and treated is compatible with the A. O. Smith FC-1000. Water that isn't treated or microbiologically unsafe, such as well water, that may contain bacteria, viruses, or other harmful microorganisms, is not meant for this system.
Q: What kind of maintenance is needed for the FC-1000?
A: The FC-1000 is an easy-to-maintain system that requires filter changes 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.
