Epic Smart Shield MAX
Smart Shield Max – Built for What’s in Your Water Today
Our original Smart Shield uses solid carbon block technology, a proven method since the 1970s. But today’s contaminants demand more. Smart Shield Max features CoreXchange™ Technology, a three-layer system designed to handle what traditional filters can’t.
-
Stage 1: A carbon-impregnated nano fabric outer layer traps bacteria, viruses, cysts, VOCs, and microplastics.
-
Stage 2: A carbon fiber block targets chlorine, heavy metals, PFAS, pesticides, and trace pharmaceuticals.
-
Stage 3: An inner fluoride and arsenic filter layer removes the most stubborn contaminants.
More protection. More performance. Just as easy to install. Smart Shield Max delivers advanced, triple-layer filtration with the same simple DIY under-sink installation. It's the ideal upgrade for anyone looking to elevate their home's water quality, without the cost or hassle of hiring a plumber.

Three Layers. One Seriously Smart Filter.
Smart Shield Max uses advanced filtration to tackle contaminants at every level—without slowing your flow.
Stage 1: Nano Fiber Layer
This ultra-fine layer grabs tiny intruders like microplastics, bacteria, and trace chemicals.
It’s naturally charged, so it pulls in pollutants like a magnet, before they go any further.
Stage 2: Carbon Fiber Block
This powerhouse layer traps chlorine, pesticides, VOCs, and heavy metals like lead and mercury.
Its smart structure keeps water flowing clean and smooth, no clogs, no slowdown.
Stage 3: Granular Resin
The final layer targets the stubborn stuff, like fluoride and arsenic, that many filters miss.
Together, all three layers give you water that’s cleaner, safer, and better tasting.
