Including filter system and high-performance Lead filter.
Lead in household water is most often tied to the plumbing inside your home rather than the municipal supply. When water sits in contact with older pipes, solder, or some brass fixtures it can leach small amounts of lead into the water you use every day. Because lead has no reliable taste or odor, it can be present even when taps in Atlantis seem normal; many homeowners only discover it through testing, a utility notice, or a home inspection.
Low or variable lead levels are frustrating because they can differ by faucet, time of day, and how long water has been standing in the pipes. Hot water is more likely to pick up lead than cold, which is important for bathing, cooking, and appliances. While replacing plumbing parts can reduce risk, it isn’t always practical to find and swap every lead-containing fitting at once. A whole-home treatment that reduces lead throughout an Atlantis residence gives steadier protection while you address plumbing sources.
A single-tank backwashing carbon filter blended with KDF media is one of the most effective whole-house options for reducing lead in residential systems. Standard activated carbon is great for chlorine and odors, while KDF works on heavy metals through a redox process that helps remove dissolved lead as water flows through the media. The backwashing feature periodically flushes trapped particles, keeping the media bed cleaner and performance more consistent—important in hard Palm Beach County water that can cause mineral scale. Installed at the main line, this setup treats every tap in an Atlantis home rather than relying on a point-of-use filter.
These whole-house units are sized to your home’s flow so showers, laundry, and irrigation run without a major pressure drop, and they help capture fine sediment that can carry lead particles. Treating water where it enters your Atlantis home limits exposure from anything the water contacts on its way to faucets, fixtures, and appliances—especially useful in our hard-water conditions that can stress plumbing. Mr. Pure Water can assess your plumbing and water quality to recommend the right backwashing carbon + KDF configuration for reliable whole-home protection.
