Including filter system and high-performance Antimony filter.
Antimony is a naturally occurring element that can appear in drinking water at low concentrations and is also used in some industrial processes. When it reaches a water supply it’s usually present as dissolved ions you can’t see, smell, or taste, so Scanlon homeowners often only discover it through a private test or a utility report. If testing shows elevated results, treating the water where it enters your home is the most straightforward way to protect every faucet and appliance.
Because the same incoming water serves showers, sinks, laundry and outdoor hoses, antimony won’t be limited to a single tap—so localized under-sink fixes can leave parts of your home exposed. Many Scanlon residents choose whole-house treatment after seeing changes in overall water quality or as a precaution following testing. The aim is reliable, housewide reduction of dissolved metals rather than piecemeal solutions that only protect one fixture.
For reducing antimony, a whole-house reverse osmosis system is commonly the most effective single filter type because it forces water through a semipermeable membrane that rejects many dissolved contaminants. Antimony typically exists in forms that standard sediment filters won’t capture, and with RO the water is pushed through the membrane while unwanted ions are routed away. That makes whole-house RO a strong option when Scanlon homeowners want meaningful reduction at the point of entry for their entire house.
A correctly designed whole-house reverse osmosis installation includes prefiltration to protect the membrane and maintain steady performance. Prefilters remove sediment and particulates that would otherwise foul the membrane, allowing the RO stage to focus on dissolved metals like antimony. Regular maintenance—timely prefilter and membrane changes—is important to preserve removal rates and water flow. Mr. Pure Water can help Scanlon families select and size a system so every tap in the home benefits, not just the kitchen sink.
