Filtration + softening in one tank
HALO Hybrid
The HALO Hybrid puts filtration and softening in the same tank. A mid-plate separates a top layer of HALO High Activity Carbon from a bed of ion-exchange softening resin below, so one cabinet does the work of a filter and a softener.
One tank, two processes
Water first passes through the carbon layer, which removes chlorine, contaminants, odours and taste issues by adsorption — and, importantly, protects the softening resin underneath from chlorine damage. It then flows through the resin, where calcium and magnesium are exchanged for sodium or potassium. When the resin is saturated the system regenerates itself automatically.

Why a hybrid
It takes up the space of one tank instead of two, the carbon extends resin life, and you get genuinely soft water plus filtered water from a single system. It does use salt and a drain connection for regeneration, so Milani confirms there is a drain and a spot for the brine tank.
- Filtered and softened water from one unit
- Carbon shields the resin from chlorine
- Automatic regeneration — no manual cycles
- Uses salt and a drain (like any softener)
How Milani installs and looks after it
Milani installs HALO equipment on the main line where water enters the home (or, for drinking-water and point-of-use units, under the kitchen sink), tests your water first so the system is matched to what you actually have, and sets it up with the correct bypass and shut-offs so future service is simple. Where a unit has replaceable cartridges or media, we tell you the schedule and supply the parts.
At a glance
- Carbon and softening resin in one tank (mid-plate)
- Carbon protects the resin from chlorine
- Removes chlorine, hardness and contaminants
- Automatic metered regeneration
- NSF/ANSI Standard 61 certified
Warranty
The HALO Hybrid carries HALO's limited warranty on the tank and control valve; terms depend on registration. Milani registers the system at installation.
