LotusDY — Under-Sink Drinking Water

Installed under your kitchen sink. Targets chlorine taste, particulates, and improves drinking water at the tap. Patented "Define Yourself" mineral calibration lets you adjust TDS to your taste.

Good for: kitchen drinking water, ice, coffee, cooking, baby formula — when you want bottled-water-quality without the bottles.

Why El Dorado Hills Specifically

The El Dorado Irrigation District delivers water from American River + Folsom South Canal to a population of ~50,000. The biggest practical concern for homeowners and businesses is protecting premium plumbing and tankless water heaters in luxury homes.

The T-18 is designed to address scale at the whole-home level — meaning every appliance and fixture in the house benefits, not just one tap. For drinking water taste specifically, the LotusDY at the kitchen sink is the more targeted solution.

Crystal Flow H2O ships systems anywhere in the U.S. with free delivery, and our in-house team installs directly in El Dorado Hills and the surrounding Northern California area (Folsom, Granite Bay, Cameron Park, Shingle Springs). Customers outside NorCal get systems shipped free and we coordinate a vetted local plumber for them on request.

Common Questions from El Dorado Hills Customers

Will the T-18 fit my existing plumbing?

The T-18 installs inline on your main water supply line with standard 1" connections. Most El Dorado Hills homes are a clean fit; for non-standard installs our team will scope it on a quick call before you order.

Do I need both the T-18 and the LotusDY?

If your priority is protecting appliances and fixtures from scale, the T-18 alone covers it. If you also want bottled-water-quality drinking water at your kitchen, add the LotusDY. Many El Dorado Hills customers run both.

Is installation included?

Free shipping is included nationwide. Direct professional installation is available throughout Northern California (including El Dorado Hills) — call (916) 400-0725 for a quote. Most customers in the area can also have a licensed plumber do the install.

What if I'm outside Northern California?

We ship systems free anywhere in the U.S., and on request we'll coordinate a vetted licensed plumber in your area to do the install — so you're never stuck figuring it out alone. Call (916) 400-0725 or use the contact form to ask.

NSF/ANSI certified?

Yes — the T-18 has been tested and certified to NSF/ANSI 42, 61, and 372 by IAPMO R&T. View certification details.
