Invisible and insidious, lead lurking in your water can silently corrode your home’s safety and your family’s health. Cloudy water, strange metallic taste, or unexpected stains on fixtures might seem minor, but these symptoms signal a dangerous contaminant that can lead to costly plumbing damage and serious health risks, especially for children and pregnant adults. Ignoring lead in water jeopardizes comfort, well-being, and peace of mind.

The system that fixes it

The Pentair Lead in Water System is purpose-built to tackle the stubborn problem of lead contamination head-on, delivering clean, safe water throughout your entire home. At its heart lies the Pentair-series backwashing control valve, a robust and serviceable head valve designed to automate media cleaning by reversing water flow, preventing clogging and ensuring peak performance without constant manual maintenance. This genuine brand valve means reliability and easy servicing over the system’s lifespan—no cheap imitations or complicated parts here.

Encasing this is a whole-house adsorption tank crafted to fit your home’s scale, housing a proprietary blend of KDF-55 media and catalytic carbon. Together, they chemically bond and remove dissolved lead ions from your water supply. This isn’t just filtration—it’s a powerful redox reaction that transforms harmful lead into harmless compounds before it reaches your taps.

How the media works

The core of this system’s effectiveness is the specialized media inside the tank: a powerful combination of KDF-55 and catalytic carbon. KDF-55 initiates a redox reaction—a natural chemical process—that bonds dissolved lead particles, transforming them into solid, harmless compounds trapped within the media. Catalytic carbon complements this by adsorbing organic impurities and further enhancing lead removal efficiency. This two-pronged approach continuously cleans water at a molecular level, far beyond simple mechanical filtration, ensuring that lead is effectively immobilized before it reaches your taps.
