Pentek Heavy Metals System
Head valve + tank + media, matched to solve heavy metals — sized and shipped free.
Heavy metals lurking in your home’s water can create a silent hazard—metallic tastes in your drinking water, stubborn stains on sinks and fixtures, and even premature pipe corrosion. Left unchecked, lead, mercury, copper, and nickel quietly erode your plumbing system’s integrity and threaten your family’s health with long-term exposure. These contaminants don’t just affect water quality; they impact comfort, safety, and your wallet through costly repairs and medical concerns.
The system that fixes it
The Pentek Heavy Metals System is expertly engineered to target and remove harmful heavy metals from your household water supply, restoring safety and peace of mind. Central to its performance is the Pentek-series air-injection control valve, a high-quality head valve that regulates water flow through the media bed with precision. This valve’s air-injection design prevents media clogging and extends system life, ensuring your water remains consistently clean. Unlike generic valves, this genuine brand valve is fully serviceable, meaning maintenance is straightforward and parts replacement reliable—saving you headaches and expense down the line.
The system rests on a robust air-injection multi-media tank, specially designed to maximize contact time with the media layers inside. Inside the tank, the working media is a carefully balanced blend of KDF-55, catalytic carbon, and garnet. This multi-media bed effectively captures heavy metals—including lead, mercury, copper, and nickel—through a combination of chemical reduction and filtration. The result is water free from metals that cause damage and health risks.

How the media works
The Pentek Heavy Metals System employs a sophisticated media blend that targets heavy metals at the molecular level. KDF-55 media uses a high-purity copper-zinc alloy that prompts a chemical redox reaction, transforming harmful heavy metal ions into harmless forms that can be trapped. Catalytic carbon adsorbs organic contaminants and enhances the breakdown of metals, improving overall water clarity and taste. Garnet, a dense and durable mineral, supports the media bed by filtering out fine particles and ensuring even flow distribution. This multi-media combination works seamlessly to capture lead, mercury, copper, and nickel, effectively removing them from your water stream before they reach your taps.
