Description
Reduce hexavalent chromium (chromium-6) in your water
Hexavalent chromium, or chromium-6, is an industrial contaminant that can enter groundwater from manufacturing, plating, and other sources — the same contaminant made famous by real-world pollution cases. It is a recognized health concern, and like most dissolved metals it gives no warning in taste or appearance. Only a laboratory test reveals it and its concentration.
Certified-grade reduction
This system is designed specifically to reduce chromium-6 rather than to soften or clarify water. Because chromium-6 is a small dissolved ion, it requires targeted treatment media and adequate contact time to bring levels down dependably.
How chromium-6 is removed
Depending on your water, chromium-6 is addressed with specialized reduction and adsorption media or reverse osmosis, sized so the water spends enough time in contact with the media to achieve consistent reduction. The right capacity depends on your measured level and your household's flow rate.
Getting it right
- Verify the level: chromium-6 is measured in parts per billion by a certified lab.
- Contact time is critical: undersizing lets the contaminant slip through.
- Plan media service based on your concentration and usage.
Send us your chromium-6 analysis and flow requirements and we will confirm the right build and settings and size it to your home. Ships free in the US with manuals and expert support to keep a well-known industrial contaminant reliably in check.
How it enters water and why it matters
Hexavalent chromium can occur naturally in some aquifers but is most associated with industrial discharge from plating, manufacturing, and cooling operations. It drew national attention through well-documented groundwater contamination cases, and regulators continue to evaluate tighter limits. Because it is measured at very low concentrations, a certified test that specifically reports chromium-6, not just total chromium, is what you need.
Keeping it effective
Consistent chromium-6 reduction depends on the media staying within its working capacity, so we help you set a sensible service schedule around your measured level and usage. You get the manuals to install it properly and a knowledgeable team to consult as you retest, so a serious industrial contaminant stays dependably controlled year after year.
