Including filter system and high-performance Lead filter.
Lead in household water usually comes from plumbing — older pipes, solder, or some brass fixtures — rather than the municipal source. In Angel City homes, water sitting in contact with those materials can leach small amounts of lead into the water you use daily. Because lead has no reliable taste or smell, it can be present even when water looks and feels normal. Most homeowners in the area discover the issue through testing, a utility notice, or during a home inspection.
Lead concentrations can be intermittent and vary by faucet, time of day, or how long water has stood in pipes, which is a common frustration for Angel City residents. Hot water often picks up more lead than cold, so tasks like bathing and cooking can be affected. While replacing lead-bearing plumbing parts is ideal, it isn’t always feasible to do at once. A whole-home treatment that reduces lead at every tap gives families more immediate reassurance while they identify and address specific plumbing sources.
A backwashing carbon filter combined with KDF media is one of the most effective single-tank whole-house options for reducing lead in residential systems. Activated carbon is excellent for chlorine and odor control, while KDF uses a redox process to target heavy metals like lead as water moves through the media. The backwashing function helps keep the media bed clean by flushing out trapped particles, which maintains consistent performance over time. Installed at your Angel City main water line, this setup treats water for every tap so you’re not relying on a single under-sink filter.
Systems like this are sized to your home’s flow rate so showers, laundry, and outdoor uses run without noticeable pressure loss and can also capture fine sediment that may carry lead particles. Treating water as it enters the house helps limit exposure from whatever the water contacts on its way to your faucets. Mr. Pure Water can assess Angel City plumbing and water conditions and recommend the right backwashing carbon/KDF configuration to meet your goals for whole-home protection.
