How Sentry Filters Remove Contaminants: Technology, Results, and Wellness Benefits

Clean, healthy water is the foundation of wellness in every home. At SentryH2O, our mission goes beyond simply filtering water. We are dedicated to providing solutions that remove harmful contaminants while enriching your water with essential minerals—delivering an unmatched combination of safety, taste, and wellness. If you’re wondering how Sentry filters remove contaminants and what makes our approach unique, this comprehensive guide will take you through our technology, proven results, and the difference it makes for families across Arizona and beyond.

The Problem: Contaminants in Everyday Water

Municipal and well water sources can contain a variety of contaminants. From chlorine, chloramines, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to heavy metals like lead and arsenic, and even persistent threats like PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), the risks in untreated water are real. Many traditional filtration systems struggle to address the full spectrum of these contaminants, and some even strip water of beneficial minerals, leaving it flat and lifeless.

The SentryH2O Solution: Advanced Multi-Stage Filtration

We designed the Sentry filter lineup—from the compact under-sink Wellness System to robust whole-house and shower solutions—to tackle the toughest contaminants while preserving and enhancing water’s natural benefits. Here’s how Sentry filters remove contaminants, step by step:

Under-Sink Sentry Wellness System: Five-Stage Protection

  • Stage 1 & 2: Carbon Block Filter with Sediment Wrap – Captures debris, sediment, and particles as small as 5 microns, while removing chlorine, chloramines, and VOCs that impact taste and odor.
  • Stage 3: Scale Control CT Resin – Neutralizes both soft and hard scale, phosphates, chloride, and fluoride without using salt, making water gentler on plumbing and appliances.
  • Stage 4: Magnesium-Coated Catalytic Carbon – Targets and eliminates persistent chemicals like PFAS, PFOS, PFCs, and pharmaceutical VOCs, while enhancing water’s taste.
  • Stage 5: Trappsorb Media – Captures challenging contaminants such as CO₂, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, phosphorous, and silica, and boosts water’s pH, magnesium, and calcium for natural alkalinity.

The result? Water that’s free from toxins and brimming with health-supporting minerals—no waste, no fuss, and installation in as little as 15 minutes.

Sentry Whole House Wellness System: Two-Stage Comprehensive Defense

  • Stage 1: Catalytic Carbon Blend – Removes chlorine, chloramines, ammonia, boron, hydrogen sulfide, phosphorus, fluoride, arsenic, PFAS, PFOS, and VOCs from all water entering your home.
  • Stage 2: Scale Control CT Resin – Neutralizes scale and further removes phosphates, chloride, and fluoride, softening water without salt and protecting plumbing throughout the house.

This system ensures every faucet, shower, and appliance receives clean, healthy water, drastically reducing dry skin, brittle hair, and damaging scale build-up.

Specialized Solutions for Well Water and Showers

  • Sentry Well Whole House Wellness System – Tailored to address iron, manganese, and nitrates often present in well water, in addition to the contaminants listed above. Every well system also includes our under-sink treatment for the best drinking water quality.
  • Sentry Shower Filter – Designed specifically for shower water, this filter removes lead, iron, ammonia, chlorine, chloramines, chromium, cyanide, and more, ensuring your skin and hair are nourished, not dried out or exposed to toxins.

Lab-Proven Results: Real Reductions, Real Wellness

Our filtration isn’t just about impressive technology—it’s about measurable results, backed by independent lab testing. In multiple water reports, Sentry filters remove contaminants to levels far below EPA limits, providing peace of mind with every glass, shower, and load of laundry:

  • Arsenic, Chromium, and Fluoride: Testing in Tempe and Mesa, AZ, showed Sentry Wellness Systems reduced arsenic from up to 6 ppb to <0.5 ppb, chromium from 12 ppb to <0.1 ppb, and fluoride from 0.615 ppm to <0.5 ppm, while increasing healthy magnesium and calcium.
  • PFAS Family: Independent laboratory results demonstrated a greater than 99.9% reduction in a broad range of PFAS compounds—those persistent, dangerous chemicals making headlines for their health impacts.
  • Vinyl Chloride: In a 2023 Ohio water sample, the Sentry Wellness System eliminated all detectable vinyl chloride after treatment.

Our commitment is simple: when you want the best for your family, trust the science and transparency behind every Sentry filter.
