Water Conditioners
When hard water comes with iron, manganese, or pH problems, a standard softener isn’t always enough. Evolve Conditioners use exclusive Crystal-Right™ media to tackle multiple water problems in a single system.

A water conditioner looks similar to a softener from the outside — but what happens inside is fundamentally different. Instead of standard resin, Evolve conditioners use Crystal-Right™, a proprietary engineered media that simultaneously addresses hardness, iron, manganese, and low pH in a single pass.
If your water test reveals multiple issues working together — which is common in northeast Iowa well water — a conditioner often makes more sense than stacking separate systems. One unit, one maintenance routine, one salt source.
Conditioners also include a built-in chlorine generator that disinfects the media bed during each regeneration cycle, keeping the system sanitary without any additional chemicals.
Crystal-Right™ Media
Crystal-Right™ is an engineered zeolite media developed exclusively by Mineral-Right in Phillipsburg, Kansas. Unlike natural zeolite or standard resin, Crystal-Right™ is precision-manufactured to achieve specific ion-exchange properties — giving it the ability to simultaneously soften, filter, and correct pH that natural materials can’t match.
It’s exclusively available in Evolve Conditioners — you won’t find it in any other brand’s product. Two formulations are available to match different water conditions.
Learn More About Crystal-Right™ →Formulated for moderate water conditions — hardness up to 25 GPG, iron up to 3 ppm, mild pH issues. The right choice for most Iowa well water situations.
Engineered for more demanding conditions — higher iron and manganese levels, more significant hardness, or lower pH. When CR-100 isn’t enough, CR-200 is.
EV1, EV2, and Twin Models
Two media formulations, two capacity options. Your water test tells us which one is right for your home.
The EV1 uses Crystal-Right™ CR-100 media to address moderate hardness, iron, and pH issues in a single unit. Ideal for most northeast Iowa well water situations where multiple problems coexist but aren’t at extreme levels.
When water conditions are more demanding — higher iron, elevated manganese, very hard water, or significant pH drop — the EV2 with CR-200 media steps up. It’s engineered to handle what the EV1 can’t, without requiring additional systems.
Twin conditioner systems use two tanks in alternating demand mode — so when one tank is regenerating, the other is actively treating water. No gaps, no interruptions, no periods of untreated water reaching your taps. Available with either CR-100 or CR-200 media depending on your water profile.
