Including filter system and high-performance Tungsten filter.
Tungsten is a naturally occurring metal that can end up in drinking water at low concentrations. It can leach from certain rock and soil types or be influenced by industrial activity, and because it’s usually colorless and odorless you won’t detect it without testing. Old Town homeowners who want peace of mind often begin by checking their water for metals like tungsten so they know what’s coming from their tap.
While studies about tungsten in drinking water continue, many Old Town residents take a practical approach when tests show elevated levels. Clear-looking water can still contain dissolved metals, so private well owners in the area benefit from regular testing to track seasonal or usage-related changes. If you receive municipal water, reviewing the local water quality report and doing a sample test at your faucet are good ways to confirm what’s actually entering your home.
To reduce tungsten at the point where water enters your house, a whole-house reverse osmosis system is generally the most effective single-filter option. Reverse osmosis relies on a semipermeable membrane that rejects many dissolved metals and inorganic contaminants, lowering tungsten before it reaches your showers, faucets, and appliances. Because tungsten is present as dissolved species, simpler media that focus on taste or odor won’t remove it as well; a whole-house RO also needs prefiltration to protect the membrane from sediment and chlorine where applicable.
A whole-house reverse osmosis installation can include dedicated storage and distribution so treated water is available throughout an Old Town home. Performance depends on correct sizing, sufficient water pressure, and routine maintenance of filters and the RO membrane, since fouling reduces effectiveness over time. If your property is on a well, additional pretreatment for hardness, iron, or particulates may be recommended to extend membrane life—Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and suggest a whole-house RO system tailored to address tungsten concerns.
