Including filter system and high-performance Selenium filter.
Selenium is a naturally occurring element that can leach from certain rocks and soils or enter waterways from human activities. While small amounts are part of normal nutrition, drinking water isn’t a controlled source, so elevated selenium in a home supply is something to address. You won’t be able to see or taste it, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present in Lockhart plumbing is a water test — and if results show higher levels, the right treatment should be selected.
Selenium can exist in several chemical forms, and some are easier to remove than others. Many whole-house systems that focus on chlorine, smell, or sediment won’t capture dissolved contaminants like selenium, especially in Central Florida’s hard water. That’s why we begin by assessing your household water chemistry here in Polk County and then choose media and technologies that match the challenge. With a tailored plan, you can reduce selenium for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry across your Lockhart home.
For whole-house protection, the single filter type most effective against selenium is a reverse osmosis system configured for point-of-entry use. RO employs a semipermeable membrane to separate dissolved contaminants like selenium — contaminants that standard carbon filters typically won’t catch. A correctly specified whole-house RO includes prefiltration to guard the membrane from sediment and free chlorine, which helps the system run reliably throughout your home.
Because selenium’s behavior depends on its chemical form and the overall water makeup, a whole-house RO should be sized and configured for your Lockhart household’s flow needs and source water. Pretreatment is especially important in hard Central Florida water to reduce fouling and scaling that can harm the membrane, and scheduled maintenance keeps removal effective over time. Mr. Pure Water can assess your water, recommend the right whole-house reverse osmosis setup, and install it so you get consistent selenium reduction without losing everyday convenience.
