Heavy metals lurking in your water silently erode your home’s plumbing, taint your drinking supply, and threaten the health of every family member. Discolored water stains, metallic tastes, and unexplained appliance failures are just the surface symptoms — but the real cost is in the potential exposure to lead, mercury, copper, and nickel. Left untreated, these contaminants degrade your comfort, safety, and even increase costly repairs around your home.

The system that fixes it

Introducing the Pentair Heavy Metals System — engineered precisely to neutralize those stubborn heavy metals from your water supply. At its core is the Pentair-series air-injection control valve, an advanced head valve designed to optimize flow, regulate regeneration cycles, and extend the life of your media. This valve isn’t just a component; it’s a genuine Pentair part that guarantees reliable operation and straightforward servicing, ensuring your system runs smoothly for years. The treatment chamber itself is built on a robust air-injection multi-media tank, housing a specialized blend of KDF-55, catalytic carbon, and garnet layered media. This unique multimedia bed captures and locks in lead, mercury, copper, and nickel molecules, delivering cleaner water directly to every faucet.

• Air-injection control valve precisely manages water flow and media regeneration for maximum contaminant removal.
• Serviceable brand valve design simplifies maintenance and prolongs system lifespan.
• Multi-media tank construction ensures efficient heavy metal capture through layered filtration.
• KDF-55 media targets heavy metals through redox reaction, reducing toxic elements naturally.
• Catalytic carbon and garnet media improve filtration depth and remove residual impurities.

How the media works

The heart of this system’s success lies in its multi-media bed, combining KDF-55, catalytic carbon, and garnet layers. KDF-55 employs a natural redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction that chemically converts heavy metal ions like lead, mercury, copper, and nickel into harmless compounds that become trapped in the media. Catalytic carbon further enhances contaminant removal by adsorbing residual chemicals and improving overall filtration performance. The garnet grains add density and depth, ensuring thorough contact time as water passes through. Together, these media components lock heavy metals away securely, delivering water that’s not only cleaner but truly safer for your family’s daily use.

Common questions

Q? How does the Pentair Heavy Metals System handle high levels of lead in well water?

A The system’s KDF-55 media specifically targets and reduces lead via a redox process that converts lead ions into stable forms trapped in the media bed. This ensures heavier contamination is efficiently removed before reaching your taps.

Q? Why is the Pentair-series air-injection control valve important for heavy metals removal?

A This valve precisely regulates water flow and regeneration cycles, optimizing media performance and longevity. Using a genuine, serviceable Pentair valve means reliable operation and simplified maintenance, critical for consistent heavy metal reduction.

Q? Can this system handle homes larger than 6 bathrooms?

A For homes beyond 6 bathrooms, multiple systems or a custom setup may be recommended. Our free sizing service can assist you in choosing the best configuration to meet your household’s heavy metals removal needs.
