LeadShield
Whole house water filtration for toxic heavy metals
Protect your water from lead, arsenic, fluoride and other heavy metal contaminants with LeadShield Whole House Water Filtration System.
Are You Living with Unsafe Levels of Lead, Arsenic or Fluoride?
Water contaminated from lead and other heavy metals has been getting a lot of attention since stories like Flint, Michigan, have surfaced. As a result, many families are more concerned about the safety of their water and what can be done to protect it.
We designed LeadShield to be the whole house solution for homes impacted by toxic levels of lead, arsenic and fluoride. Its high surface area media provides advanced oxidation filtration and adsorption to remove these contaminants. LeadShield also removes other heavy metals and sediment from your home’s water.
Removes Lead
The EPA has set the maximum contaminant level goal for lead in drinking water at zero because lead is a toxic metal that can be harmful even at low levels.Â
Removes Arsenic
Long-term exposure to low levels of inorganic arsenic in drinking water is known to cause health problems including cancer, high blood pressure and heart disease.
Removes Fluoride
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), approximately 70 percent of the U.S. population ingests fluoride through their community drinking water.
Learn How LeadShield Works
- In Service—Untreated water enters the filter. Contaminants are trapped in the natural media while dissolved oxygen is added to the water.
- Backwash—Upward flow of water lifts the filter bed, removing trapped contaminants and increasing the life of the media.
- Fast Rinse—Media has been regenerated without the use of chemicals. Filter bed is packed down to prepare for the next filtration cycle.
Our City’s Aging Infrastructure
As you can see from this photo of a city water main, our nation’s drinking water system and supply lines are in troubled. American Society of Civil Engineers gave them a grade of D-. In water systems that serve more than 100,000 people, about 40% of drinking water pipes are more than 40 years old.Â
According to the Center for Disease Control, there is no safe level of exposure to lead. (Source)
