  -> Yes, thank you sir!

disagree  Rahi Moosavi: this is سختی گیر not آب شیرین کن

  -> Thank you for your comment sir. Desalinators are solely used for sea water, but the context suggests "changing the taste of water", which can be interpreted as سختی گیری from potable water.

water filter


Explanation:
All of the other answers are possibly correct, depending on the device.

I suspect the item in question may be something like this product, which is for home use, not industrial. See http://www.brita.com/us/products/faucet-filtration/advanced/ Products like this are not called purifiers or softeners, for legal reasons, I believe.
