Lead Removal Filters in O Brien, OR

Lead Removal Filters in O Brien, OR

Lead usually does not come from the water plant. It comes from the pipes between the street and your faucet: old lead service lines, lead-based solder on copper joints installed before 1986, and some older brass fixtures. Water that sits in those pipes overnight picks up the most.

O Brien, OR Whole House Water Filtration installs lead removal filters in O Brien, OR homes with media certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for lead reduction. For whole house water filtration, that often means a dedicated lead stage after the sediment filter. For drinking water only, a certified under-sink unit at the kitchen tap is a common and lower cost choice.

A few practical points we explain on every call:

• A filter reduces lead at the point it is installed, not upstream of it
• Lead particles can clog fine media, so a sediment stage in front helps
• Testing before and after shows whether the filter is doing its job

If you are not sure what your service line is made of, a scratch test where the line enters the house is a quick first check. Soft, dull gray metal that scratches shiny silver can be lead.
