Including filter system and high-performance Chromium-6 filter.
Chromium-6, also called hexavalent chromium, is a dissolved form of chromium that can appear in tap water without any taste, smell, or visible sign. Many Fountain homeowners only become aware of it after reviewing a water test or an annual report. It can enter drinking water through industrial sources or when water contacts chromium-containing materials, so understanding how it behaves and how it’s treated can give you more confidence in the water at every faucet in your home.
Because chromium-6 stays dissolved, a basic sediment or particulate filter won’t reliably remove it. While many Fountain houses already use filters for chlorine taste or sediment, those systems aren’t specifically designed for hexavalent chromium. Effectively reducing dissolved contaminants requires media targeted to attract and retain them. A whole-house filter treats water at the point of entry, protecting showers, sinks, and appliances rather than relying on a single under-sink unit for daily use.
The single filter type most often used for whole-house chromium-6 reduction is a catalytic activated carbon system designed for chromium performance. This specially formulated carbon can help convert chromium-6 into a state the media can capture as water passes through, while also improving overall water quality throughout your Fountain home. It’s important to choose carbon media selected for chromium-6 reduction rather than standard taste-and-odor carbon to get effective results.
Contact time and flow rate are as important as the media itself in a correctly sized whole-house catalytic carbon filter. At Mr. Pure Water we size systems so the carbon has adequate capacity and exposure to treat dissolved contaminants, including chromium-6, at the point of entry to your Fountain home. That approach helps protect every bathroom, kitchen, and laundry line with a low-maintenance, set-it-and-forget-it system many homeowners find practical.
