Chromium-6 contamination in your water isn’t just a hidden chemical — it’s a threat you can taste, see, and feel. From a metallic aftertaste to skin irritation during showers, Chromium-6 can undermine your family’s health and corrode your plumbing. Left untreated, this toxin can lead to costly damage and discomfort that no homeowner wants to face.

The system that fixes it

The Pentair Chromium-6 System is engineered specifically to tackle the stubborn problem of Chromium-6 in residential water supplies.

How the media works

The heart of the system is the strong-base anion resin media, a specialized material designed to capture and remove the chromate anion (Chromium-6) from your water. This resin uses ion-exchange technology, meaning it swaps out the harmful negatively charged chromate ions for harmless ions in the resin. The process effectively traps Chromium-6, preventing it from passing through your taps and showers. This targeted approach ensures your water is free from Chromium-6, restoring safety without compromising flow or pressure.
