Not a tier. A commission.
Every other AION system is engineered for a range of homes. Estate is engineered for exactly one — yours.
We begin with a 111-contaminant laboratory analysis of your water. We measure your home's actual peak flow, your supply line, your plumbing. Then we design a system around what we find. Not a template adjusted at the margins. A system that exists because your water exists.
Pricing provided after consultation.
Designed for municipal water. AION systems are engineered for city-supplied water; we do not sell them for private wells or surface water.
Who Estate Is For
If your home is larger than our standard line covers, or your water test shows something our standard media doesn't target, Estate is the answer.
How Estate Works
Every Estate build begins with a SimpleLab Level 2 analysis — 111+ contaminants, third-party laboratory, sampled at your address. Not a strip test. Not a general regional profile. The actual chemistry of the water entering your home.
Most companies sell you a system and hope it fits. We find out what's in your water first, then decide what the system needs to be. Zero guesswork.
Peak flow. Service line diameter. Plumbing configuration. Fixture count and simultaneous-demand profile.
Our standard systems are sized to cover the peak demand of a typical home in their range. Estate is sized to cover your measured peak — the actual worst-case moment when every fixture in your house is running. That's the difference between a system that holds specification most of the time and one that holds it always.
Media selection, bed volumes, tank sizing, stage sequence, contact time — every variable is specified to your water and your flow. Including stages that don't exist anywhere else in the AION line.
You hire a licensed local plumber, and we can provide system specifications and answer product questions. Your contractor is responsible for the work and for compliance with local code. AION does not perform installations.
Third-party laboratory testing before and after installation, sampled at the same fixed point, so your results are directly comparable. Your name on the report.
Stages Available Only in Estate
Estate includes everything in the standard AION line — AION GUARD sediment protection, AION CORE catalytic carbon, AION REDOX electrochemical treatment, AION CORE MAX broad-spectrum media, and AION NANO final filtration.
It also unlocks dedicated stages that no standard system carries, each specified only when your laboratory analysis confirms the contaminant is present:
A high-capacity titanium-dioxide adsorbent engineered specifically for arsenic — the contaminant most residential systems quietly fail to address. Also reduces chromium-VI, lead, selenium, and uranium. NSF/ANSI 61 certified.
Parts of the Southwest, including areas of Arizona, have naturally elevated arsenic in groundwater that reaches municipal supplies. If your test shows it, this is the stage that handles it.
Specified when your water test confirms elevated arsenic.
Two PFAS-reduction beds in series — the configuration our media manufacturer specifies for maximum PFAS removal. Doubling the bed doubles the contact time, which is what PFAS adsorption actually depends on.
This is the only AION configuration where we can quantify PFAS removal against your specific water, verified by pre- and post-installation laboratory testing.
Specified when your water test confirms elevated PFAS, or when guaranteed removal performance is the priority.
The Engineering Principle
Filtration only works if water stays in contact with the media long enough to be treated. Our media works up to 3× faster than the commodity carbon most systems use — but "fast enough" still depends on your flow.
Every AION standard system publishes the home size whose peak demand it covers with full contact time. Estate is the only system engineered to your measured peak flow specifically — which means full specification held through your home's actual worst-case demand, not a typical home's estimate.
For a 6-bathroom home with a 1.25" service line and simultaneous morning demand across three floors, "typical" isn't a number we're willing to guess at.
What Estate Includes
The Honest Part
Estate costs more than our standard line, and it takes longer — the laboratory analysis alone adds time before we can even quote you.
If your home is under 4 bathrooms and your water is standard municipal supply, you probably don't need Estate. AION MAX will serve you completely, at a published price, shipping sooner. We'll tell you that on the call.
Estate exists for the homes and the water that our standard line can't serve honestly. If that's you, this is the only way we'll build it.
A 30-minute call to understand your home, your water, and your goals. We'll confirm whether Estate is the right fit and outline what a custom build looks like for your specific situation.
No commitment required. Or view AION MAX — our standard-line flagship.
Before you order
AION systems are designed to reduce chlorine, chloramine, disinfection byproducts, sediment, and a broad range of contaminants in municipal water. Performance figures refer to component testing under stated conditions; results in your home depend on incoming water and proper installation and maintenance.
AION systems are not disinfection systems and are not designed or sold for water of unknown microbiological quality, including private wells and surface water. If your home is not served by a municipal utility, these systems are not the right fit. Do not rely on an AION system to make unsafe water safe to drink.
Installed by you, or by a licensed plumber you hire. AION ships the system with step-by-step instructions and technical specifications. Push-fit connections simplify many installations, but plumbing and site-specific fittings vary by home. AION does not send technicians, perform installations, or take responsibility for work performed by you or your contractor. Follow local plumbing code; if you have unusual pressure, nonstandard connections, or a drain requirement, consult a licensed plumber before ordering. For AION MAX, we recommend a licensed plumber because its valves require a drain and power.
