Default Lead

I have a two year old daughter and her health checkups over the past year has shown an increasing Lead level from 10 a year ago to over 12 now. I am sure the Lead is coming from our well as it is very yucky water. I installed two 10" big Blue filters over a year ago and use the dual gradient 75/25 and 25/1 Micron filters. This has not seemed to do anything about the lead. The water does appear clean now. I am looking for a test kit that shows how much lead I have not just a yes or no answer. What is the best way to eliminate this lead if it is high? I am not sure if it would be better to use a different filter typee in the big blues or use a point RO or something.

Default Re: Lead

Your main concern should be with the water she consumes, i.e. drinking and cooking water. A point of use RO system will eliminate the lead problem along with many other issues. See our RO systems here: Reverse Osmosis Systems and RO Water Filters for RO Systems

You need a laboratory quality water analysis like this: Professional Laboratory Testing for Water Quality Analysis

This is the only way to get the scientific results you want and need.

Thank you,
