LeadSafePlus: A Revolutionary Lead and Cyst Filtration System
Transforming Water Safety at Home
LeadSafePlus is an innovative whole-house lead removal system, designed to tackle the challenges of lead contamination in residential water supplies. As the first-of-its-kind point-of-entry (POE) filtration system, it addresses the issue of soluble lead - a colorless, odorless, and tasteless contaminant that can be detrimental to health.
Unmatched Filtration Efficiency
LeadSafePlus sets a new standard in water purification by removing over 99.62% of soluble and particulate forms of lead for up to 100,000 gallons of water, maintaining a consistent flow rate of 4.51 gallons per minute (gpm). Even at peak flow rates of up to 8 gpm, its efficiency remains uncompromised.
In addition to lead, this system is highly effective against Giardia and Cryptosporidium, two chlorine-resistant waterborne parasites known to cause diarrheal diseases. The system also removes more than 99.5% of chlorine and chloramine, further ensuring the safety and quality of drinking water.
Addressing the Lead Contamination Challenge
LeadSafePlus is crucial, especially in areas where water has high acidity or low mineral content, conditions that often lead to corrosion in lead-containing pipes and fixtures. The release of lead into drinking water can also be influenced by factors like water system chemistry and physical disturbances such as road construction or pipe replacements. With no safe level of lead for the human body, LeadSafePlus offers a much-needed solution.
Advanced Filtration Technology
The system houses a specially designed nominal 0.5-μm filter, capable of removing both soluble and particulate forms of lead from the entire household water supply through a single, efficient filter.
Certifications and Standards
LeadSafePlus is certified by IAPMO R&T against NSF/ANSI Standard 53 for lead, cysts, and material safety, and by NSF International against NSF/ANSI Standards 44 and 61 for materials and structural integrity. The 0.5 Micron Carbon Block technology ensures high capacity lead, cyst, chloramine, and CTO (Chlorine, Taste, Odor) reduction.
Nelsen Filtration Cartridge Systems Integration
The system incorporates the Nelsen Filtration Cartridge Systems' revolutionary One™ Water Filtration Simplified Cartridge tank. This unique design yields higher flow rates and longer cartridge life than traditional systems, and is suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
The residential system includes a complete cartridge tank system with a black 8x40-inch pressure vessel, pressure relief cap, and 1-1/4" plumbing connections. It's designed for high flow rates and particulate loading while minimizing pressure drop.
User-Friendly Features
The system is remarkably user-friendly, featuring a unique snap-ring design for easy assembly and installation without the need for tools. Its 100% plastic, non-corrosive design is an ideal alternative to more expensive stainless steel systems. Additionally, an integrated bypass with industry-standard threaded fitting kit connections allows for easy water shutoff during filter changes, which further simplifies maintenance.
