Including filter system and high-performance Molybdenum filter.
Molybdenum is a naturally occurring metal that can enter drinking water when it dissolves from certain rocks or soils or comes from industrial sources. Because it usually has no color, taste, or smell, the only reliable way to know if molybdenum is in your supply is a laboratory test. Hanson homeowners often learn about it through water testing or routine home inspections, and understanding how molybdenum behaves in water is the first step toward choosing the right treatment.
In finished water, molybdenum is typically present as dissolved mineral species that can pass through simple sediment or carbon filters, so it may not be obvious even when water looks clear. Levels can shift over time with source-water changes, and you might only discover it from periodic testing or during a real estate transaction. Fortunately, there are established treatment methods available for Hanson homes when testing shows removal is needed.
For whole-house removal of molybdenum, the most effective single filter type is a properly sized reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry. Reverse osmosis forces water through a semipermeable membrane that rejects many dissolved minerals and metal ions that other filters often miss. This makes it a good fit for contaminants that are dissolved rather than particulate, and a whole-house RO can protect showers, sinks, laundry, and appliances throughout your Hanson residence.
A quality whole-house reverse osmosis installation typically includes prefiltration to remove sediment and chlorine before the membrane, plus storage or a repressurization tank to maintain steady flow. Choosing the right system depends on your water chemistry—factors like total dissolved solids and hardness affect system sizing and performance—so routine service and membrane replacement keep results consistent. Mr. Pure Water in Hanson can help review your test results and recommend the whole-house reverse osmosis configuration that fits your home.
