Including filter system and high-performance Lead filter.
In Pace, lead in household water most often comes from plumbing rather than the public source. When water sits against older pipes, solder, or certain brass fixtures, tiny amounts of lead can leach into the water you use for drinking, cooking, and bathing. Because lead has no dependable taste or smell, it can be present even when water looks and smells normal. Many homeowners in the area first discover it through testing, a home inspection, or a notice from their utility.
Lead levels in a home can fluctuate—between faucets, times of day, and how long water has been standing in the pipes—making the issue hard to pin down in Pace homes. Hot water often picks up more lead than cold, which is important for bathing and food preparation. Replacing plumbing pieces helps, but finding and removing every lead source in an older system isn’t always practical. A whole-home treatment that reduces lead at the point where water enters your house gives added peace of mind while you address any plumbing updates.
For whole-house lead reduction in Pace residences, a single-tank backwashing carbon filter combined with KDF media is among the most effective residential options. While activated carbon is commonly used for chlorine and odors, KDF works on heavy metals through a redox process that helps reduce dissolved lead as water moves through the media. The backwashing feature periodically flushes the media bed to remove trapped particles and maintain consistent performance. Installed at the main service line, this setup treats water to every faucet so you’re not limited to a single under-sink or pitcher filter.
These whole-house systems are sized to your home’s flow so showers, laundry, and outdoor use keep normal pressure while reducing lead risk. They also capture fine sediment that can carry lead particles and address other water-quality stressors that affect plumbing. Because lead exposure often depends on what water contacts on its way to the tap, treating water as it enters your Pace home helps limit exposure across everyday uses. Mr. Pure Water can assess your plumbing and water conditions to recommend the right configuration for whole-home protection.
