Filtration to Eliminate Lead in Water
There is no safe level of lead in drinking water. If testing of your water supply indicates the presence of lead, the solution is the Brita PRO Lead Titanium Series as part of your whole-home water filtration system.
Lead in Your Water? Here’s How to Fix It in Minneapolis–St. Paul
Removing lead from drinking water is critical for your family’s health. Even small amounts can cause serious risks, especially for children - including developmental delays, lower IQ, and organ damage. In the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, where water is moderately hard and chlorine-treated, lead can still enter your water through aging pipes and old fixtures.
An effective solution combines proven filtration methods. Activated carbon or reverse osmosis can remove most lead, while also tackling PFAS, chlorine, and other contaminants. A whole-home system with a particulate filter adds extra protection, shielding your plumbing and appliances from buildup and corrosion.
Regular maintenance and professional water testing help confirm that lead levels stay low and your system works as intended. For maximum peace of mind, Northern Benjamin Franklin Plumbing**®** proudly installs Brita PRO whole-home filtration systems - trusted technology designed to remove lead and keep your water safe at every tap.
