Your water may not be safe

About 18 million Americans have contaminated water systems.

Living in an area with older homes (pre-1950's) construction where lead paint, lead pipes and plumbing fixtures were the norm, accounting for up to 24 million homes in the U.S.

The damage is more prominent in children and pregnant women than in adults. The CDC reports that 535,000 U.S. children, ages 1 to 5 years, have blood lead levels high enough to damage their health.

Lead can also be harmful to adults. Increased blood pressure, decreased kidney function and cardiovascular effects according to the EPA.

A federal advisory committee in 2012 estimated that there are nearly a half million children in the United States with blood levels that exceed the CDC threshold.

Children Suffer from Dangerously High Blood Lead Levels

In multiple cities across the United States, tests show a high volume of children with ‘unsafe blood levels’. Troubling amounts of toxic metal in their blood can cause lasting behavioral, mental and physical issues in children.

Lead

Lead

Lead typically enters in to the water stream after it departs the municipally supplied water treatment plant or from a well. The lead is coming from pipes in the home or water transportation system, with the most common cause coming from corrosion of old pipes.

The certification for lead removal, a heavy metal, is done in two steps, one is for lead that is in solution and needs to be adsorbed by the filter, the other is for particulate lead that is in suspension. The pH of the water effects what form the lead presents itself, and this could change throughout the transfer of the water to the home, so we filter at the two different pH’s.

chloramine

Chloramine

Together with chlorine and ammonia, chloramine is produced at municipal water treatment plants. This chemical stabilizes the chlorine with the addition of the ammonia, to prevent the formation of DBP (Disinfectant Bi-Products). It is reported now that greater than 50% of all municipally supplied waters are now using chloramines. With the proper formulation of the carbon block, we remove the chloramine from the water and improve the taste when chloramines are present.
