Hexavalent Chromium Contaminates Your Water
The problem
Hexavalent chromium (chromium-6) contamination in drinking water is a growing concern, especially in Southwest and industrial areas. This toxic contaminant, made infamous by the Erin Brockovich case, is flagged in many water quality reports due to its harmful health effects. Chromium-6 can enter water supplies through industrial pollution and natural deposits, making it a persistent and dangerous presence in tap water.
Exposure to chromium-6 through drinking or cooking water is linked to serious health risks, including cancer and organ damage. Unlike common impurities, chromium-6 is not removed by standard water filters, allowing it to accumulate in the body over time. This invisible threat can compromise your family's health and peace of mind, especially when detected in your water report.
The damage caused by chromium-6 extends beyond health. It affects taste and odor, making water unpleasant for daily use. Moreover, it poses challenges for households seeking safe water solutions, as many systems cannot fully reduce chromium-6 levels. Addressing this problem is critical to ensuring clean, safe water that protects your family’s well-being every day.
How it works — the reverse osmosis membrane that fixes it
The Chromium-6 Removal System utilizes a multi-stage reverse osmosis (RO) process designed specifically to combat hexavalent chromium contamination. Water first passes through sediment and carbon pre-filters that remove debris and chlorine, protecting the RO membrane. The heart of the system is the RO membrane, a semi-permeable barrier that rejects chromium-6 and other dissolved metals, allowing only pure water molecules to pass through.
After purification, water flows through a post-carbon filter that improves taste and removes any residual odors, delivering clean, fresh water directly to a dedicated faucet with an included storage tank. For whole-home protection, an optional anion-exchange stage is added to treat water at every tap, ensuring comprehensive chromium-6 reduction throughout your household.
Maintenance is straightforward: pre-filters require periodic replacement to maintain flow and filtration efficiency, and the system is factory-programmed to your water test to optimize performance. Regeneration is not required for the RO membrane, and the included instructions and fittings make upkeep manageable without specialized tools or plumber-only parts.

Frequently asked questions
How does this system reduce chromium-6 in my water?
The system uses a multi-stage reverse osmosis membrane that physically blocks chromium-6 molecules, along with other dissolved metals, ensuring they do not reach your drinking water.
Is this system effective for the whole house?
Yes, the whole-home option adds an anion-exchange stage that treats water at every tap, providing comprehensive protection throughout your home.
How often do I need to replace filters?
Sediment and carbon pre-filters typically require periodic replacement as specified in the instructions to maintain optimal performance; the RO membrane lasts longer and does not require frequent replacement.
Will this system affect my water taste?
Yes, the post-carbon filter stage improves taste and removes odors, delivering fresh, clean water for drinking and cooking.
Do I need a plumber to install this system?
No, the system ships pre-assembled with all necessary fittings and clear instructions, and contains no plumber-only parts, making installation accessible for most homeowners.
