Lead Removal Whole House Water System
Lead Removal Whole House Water Purification System. Lead (Pb) is a soft metal that is used in a large amount of commercial applications. Lead can easily leach into drinking water. Unfortunately, as late as 1986 it was used everywhere to deliver drinking water, like lead pipes, fixtures and solder. Once dissolved in water, lead is odorless, tasteless and colorless and is very hard to detect in water.
In order to select the right whole home lead removal system, you need to consider maximum / peak flow that system should be designed for.
In 2015 , at least 17.6 mln. people in US were served water that had at least 1 violation of EPA lead guidelines.
This unit has a time-initiated regeneration via an electronic backwash controller. Regeneration takes 30 minutes and will run water backwards through the system down the drain.
Lead removal systems work similar to water softeners. The process is called ion exchange. Media that removes lead would have to be periodically regenerated with salt.
3 Stage Filtration Process:
- First stage, 20″ sediment cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand and dirt. Also extends the life of water softeners and water filters, and prevents damage to control valves.
- Second stage, Lead removing multi-media mix – GAC, Eagle Redox and Ion exchange mineral tank that contains Lead Selective media (dual tank for 12-18 GPM systems)
- Third stage 20″ solid carbon cartridge for removing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s), insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents.
