Including filter system and high-performance Tungsten filter.
Tungsten is a naturally occurring metal that can end up in drinking water at low concentrations. In places where groundwater interacts with certain rock and soils—or where human activity affects local sources—higher amounts are possible. Because tungsten is typically colorless and odorless, you won’t detect it without a lab test. Homeowners in Lely and across Collier County who want peace of mind often begin by checking for metals of concern, including tungsten.
While research into tungsten in tap water continues, a practical, precautionary response is common when tests show elevated levels. Clear, normal-tasting water can still contain dissolved metals, so regular testing is a smart step—especially for private wells, where seasonal rains and regional conditions can shift water quality. If you’re on municipal supply, review the local consumer confidence report and consider a tap test to confirm what’s actually entering your Lely home.
To reduce tungsten at the point of entry, a whole-house reverse osmosis system is generally the single most effective filter option. Reverse osmosis forces water through a semipermeable membrane that rejects many dissolved metals and inorganic contaminants, lowering tungsten before it reaches faucets, showers, and appliances. Simpler media that address taste or odor aren’t designed to capture dissolved tungsten, so a properly designed whole-house RO—typically with prefiltration to protect the membrane from the region’s hard, mineral-rich groundwater and seasonal sediment—gives the best chance of sustained removal.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system can be set up with dedicated storage and distribution to deliver treated water throughout your Lely residence. Long-term performance relies on correct sizing, sufficient pressure, and routine maintenance of filters and the RO membrane, since fouling will reduce effectiveness. For local homes with hard, mineral-rich groundwater, additional pretreatment for hardness, iron, or particulates is often recommended to extend membrane life. Mr. Pure Water can review your Lely water test results and suggest a whole-house RO configuration tailored to reduce tungsten reliably.
