Including filter system and high-performance Cadmium filter.
Cadmium is a metal that can enter household water when it leaches from certain plumbing components, industrial runoff, or soil that reaches water sources. Because it has no color, smell, or taste, the only reliable way to know if cadmium is present is a laboratory water test. Many Dellwood homeowners first investigate cadmium after seeing it on a test report, and when levels are elevated it’s wise to consider treatment where water enters the house.
Though cadmium is often mentioned in relation to food and industry, it can also be a concern for tap water. Boiling won’t remove dissolved cadmium, and it can be present in both hot and cold lines—meaning it may reach kitchen faucets, showers, washers, and other fixtures around a Dellwood home. Installing whole-house filtration reduces exposure by treating water before it’s distributed to any tap.
For addressing cadmium in a whole-house application, a point-of-entry reverse osmosis system is commonly the most effective single-filter option. Reverse osmosis uses a semi-permeable membrane to reject many dissolved metals, including cadmium, instead of only improving taste or odor. Installed at the main water line, it supplies filtered water throughout your Dellwood residence—at sinks, showers, and appliances—without relying on a small under-sink device.
A whole-home reverse osmosis system is typically paired with prefilters and post-treatment to protect the membrane and make the water comfortable for daily use. Sediment prefiltration prevents grit from clogging the membrane, while carbon stages reduce chlorine that can shorten membrane life. Because RO systems produce a concentrated waste stream as they operate, correct installation and sizing matter for Dellwood households.
