Including filter system and high-performance Lead filter.
In many homes the source of lead isn't the municipal supply but the plumbing that delivers water to your taps. When water sits in contact with older pipes, solder, or some brass fixtures, tiny amounts of lead can leach into the water you use every day. Because lead has no reliable taste or smell, it can be present even when water looks and smells normal—so Pine Hills homeowners often only discover it through testing, notices from the utility, or during a home inspection.
Lead levels in a home can be inconsistent, changing by fixture, time of day, or how long water has been standing in the lines. Hot water is especially prone to picking up more lead, which is important for bathing and cooking in Orange County homes. While replacing plumbing that contains lead components helps, it isn’t always feasible to find and swap every fitting at once. A whole-house treatment that reduces lead at the point where water enters the home gives added peace of mind while you address potential sources.
A single-tank backwashing carbon filter combined with KDF media is one of the most effective whole-house choices for reducing lead in residential systems. Activated carbon handles taste, chlorine, and odors, while the KDF media works on heavy metals through a redox process that helps reduce dissolved lead as water flows through the tank. The backwashing feature periodically flushes the media bed to remove trapped particles and maintain consistent performance. Installed on the main line, this setup treats water for every tap in Pine Hills so you’re not relying on point-of-use filters alone.
These whole-house filters are sized to your home’s flow so showers, laundry, and outdoor use in the Orlando metro area run without a noticeable pressure drop, and they also capture fine sediment that can carry lead particles. Treating water where it enters the house helps limit exposure from fixtures and piping, which is useful in our hard, mineral-rich local water that can stress plumbing over time. Mr. Pure Water can help choose the right configuration for your Pine Hills home based on plumbing, flow needs, and your goals for whole-home protection.
