Lead in Water: A Risk You Can’t Ignore

You can’t see it. You can’t taste it. But if there’s lead in your water, it could be silently poisoning your family.

Lead contamination is one of the biggest dangers in drinking water, and no amount is safe—especially for children. Even tiny exposure can cause permanent brain damage, developmental delays, and heart disease. If your home has older pipes, you could be at risk without even knowing it.

How Does Lead Get Into Your Water?

Lead isn’t naturally present in water—it leaches from old pipes and plumbing fixtures. If your home was built before 1986, chances are lead pipes or solder were used in the plumbing. Over time, corrosion releases lead into your tap water, contaminating everything from the water you drink to the food you cook.

🔹 Homes built before 1986 are at the highest risk.

🔹 Lead pipes, faucets, and old solder release lead into water as they corrode.

🔹 Boiling water won’t remove lead—it makes it worse by increasing the concentration.

The Silent Health Threat of Lead Exposure

🚸 Children & Infants Are Most at Risk

Even tiny amounts of lead can cause permanent brain damage in children, leading to:

✔ Lower IQ & learning disabilities

✔ Behavioral problems & attention disorders

✔ Delayed growth & speech development

🤰 Pregnant Women

Lead exposure during pregnancy harms fetal development and can cause:

✔ Premature birth

✔ Low birth weight

✔ Lifelong developmental issues

💔 Adults Aren’t Safe Either

Long-term lead exposure can cause:

✔ High blood pressure & heart disease

✔ Kidney damage

✔ Neurological problems, including memory loss

The Only Solution: Removing Lead Before It Reaches Your Tap

Because lead has no safe level, the only way to protect your family is to prevent exposure entirely.

✅ Reverse osmosis filtration removes up to 99% of lead, ensuring safe drinking water.

✅ Whole-home filtration systems block lead at the entry point, protecting all taps and appliances.

✅ Replacing old plumbing fixtures can reduce risk, but lead may still enter from city pipes—filtration is the only guaranteed fix.
