Does Your Water Filter Remove Lead?

 . . . many don't remove enough to meet current standards I firmly believe that our Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System is the best bargain in home filtration systems available. Yes, there are cheaper ways to purify water, but do you really get a pure, safe product? A recent article in The Chicago Tribune reported that many popular pitchers with built-in filters, including Brita and PUR, don't reduce lead enough to meet current standards. If you purchased one of these pitchers before 2007, it may have been sold as reducing lead, but that was before industry standards required that filters remove lead particles as well as dissolved lead. The water pitcher type filters simply can't do this. Certification now requires that a filter take water with 150 parts per billion (ppb) of lead and reduce it to 10 ppb or less. Our Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System not only meets these certification requirements, but greatly exceeds them. The two causes of disease are nutritional deficiency and toxicity. Water is one of our greatest sources of toxicity. To give but one of thousands of possible examples, chlorine and fluoride, two toxins found in almost all water, interfere with the production of stomach acid. Chlorine and fluoride are removed by our Reverse Osmosis system.   Gabler E. Many popular water filter pitchers aren't certified to remove lead.
