Including filter system and high-performance Boron filter.
Boron is a naturally occurring element that can leach into drinking water from soils and bedrock, and it can also be present after certain industrial activities. Because it usually has no taste or smell, boron often goes undetected unless a lab test or a private well report identifies it. Lantana homeowners — whether on municipal or groundwater supplies in Palm Beach County — commonly discover it when reviewing water quality results and may choose to tackle the issue for the whole house rather than treating single taps.
Boron remains dissolved in water, so it won’t settle out like particulate sediment and standard carbon filters typically won’t remove it effectively. That can be disappointing for families in the Lantana area who already run whole-house systems for chlorine, taste or odor, especially given our hard water and the increased potential for mineral scale in plumbing and fixtures. Addressing dissolved inorganic contaminants like boron usually calls for a more specialized treatment tailored to your local water chemistry and how you prefer filtered water to be delivered throughout your home.
When the goal is to lower boron across a household supply, a reverse osmosis membrane is generally the best single-filter technology. RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects many dissolved substances — including boron — more effectively than typical carbon media. Because boron can be difficult to remove, choosing the right membrane and sizing the system properly is important to get dependable results rather than relying on taste or smell.
In whole-house setups, reverse osmosis is commonly installed as a point-of-entry system with a storage tank and prefiltration to protect the membrane from sediment and chlorine, plus post-filtration to polish water before it reaches fixtures. For Lantana homes — where hard water and scale are common concerns in Palm Beach County — proper pre-treatment helps the membrane last and keeps flow steady for showers, sinks, laundry, and cooking. Mr. Pure Water can test your water for boron and recommend the right RO configuration to match your home's flow needs and local conditions.
