Hexavalent chromium, known famously from the Erin Brockovich case, is a cancer-causing contaminant that poses a serious risk when consumed over time. This toxic form of chromium can seep into water supplies unnoticed, creating a hidden hazard in everyday drinking water. Prolonged exposure elevates health risks, making it crucial to address this contaminant before it affects your family.

This system transforms your home’s water quality by continuously targeting and removing chromium-6 contaminants, helping reduce potential health risks. Its whole-house coverage means every outlet delivers safer water, relieving concerns about invisible chemical exposure from drinking, cooking, or bathing.

Why it works

At the heart of this system is a strong-base anion (SBA) exchange resin specifically engineered to target chromium-6 in water. Chromium-6 travels through water primarily as a chromate anion, a negatively charged particle. The SBA resin attracts and binds these chromate ions, effectively exchanging them out of the water. When the resin’s capacity is reached, the system initiates an automatic brine regeneration cycle that flushes out the captured chromium and recharges the resin. This process repeats on a metered schedule, ensuring continuous chromium-6 removal without manual maintenance. The chemistry behind this ion exchange provides a reliable, efficient method to reduce chromium-6 concentrations to safer levels in your household water.

Sizing it right

Choosing the correct system size depends on your household water usage, flow rate needs, and the chromium-6 concentration in your supply. An undersized system may require overly frequent regenerations, while an oversized unit could be unnecessarily expensive. We offer free sizing assistance to help you select a system that fits your unique water profile and household demands. Whether you have a small family or a larger home, our experts will guide you in matching the right metered resin-tank system to ensure optimal chromium-6 reduction and performance throughout your plumbing.

Common questions

Q? How does the system know when to regenerate?
A The system uses a metered valve that tracks water usage and triggers regeneration automatically once the resin approaches its capacity for chromium-6. This ensures continuous contaminant removal without wasting brine or water.

Q? Will the system remove other contaminants besides chromium-6?
A This system is specifically designed with a contaminant-selective resin targeting chromium-6. While it may reduce some other anionic species, it is not intended as a general filtration system for all contaminants.

Q? How often do I need to refill the brine for regeneration?
A Frequency depends on household water usage and chromium-6 levels, but generally, brine needs to be replenished periodically as part of routine maintenance. We provide clear guidelines to keep the system running effectively.
