Lead and Arsenic Removal
Lead usually enters water from service lines and home plumbing, not from the utility’s source. A certified filter or reverse osmosis system reduces lead and arsenic at the tap. [NEEDS DATA: Minneapolis lead service line inventory and replacement program.] Check your service line material as well as filtering.
Chloramine and Chlorine Removal
Chlorine and chloramine are disinfectants, and the City treats its supply at the Fridley and Columbia Heights plants. A catalytic carbon filter reduces both, along with the taste and smell they leave. [NEEDS DATA: whether the City uses chlorine or chloramine, from its water quality report.]
Fluoride Filter Installation
Minnesota requires public water systems to add fluoride to the water [VERIFY: confirm the City of Minneapolis fluoride level from its current report]. A reverse osmosis or specialty media filter reduces fluoride at the tap for homeowners who want it lower.
PFAS Water Filter
PFAS are a group of persistent chemicals, and a carbon block or reverse osmosis filter certified for PFAS reduces them at the tap. [NEEDS DATA: the City of Minneapolis PFAS results from its current report.]
Nitrate Filter Installation
Nitrate is a concern mainly for private wells and for infants, and an ion exchange or reverse osmosis system reduces it. [NEEDS DATA: nitrate result from the City’s report against the 10 ppm limit.]
VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) Filter
A carbon filter reduces volatile organic compounds, which come from solvents and fuels. A water test shows whether any are present before a filter is chosen.
Not a good fit if… your test shows no contaminant of concern. A filter adds cost without benefit, and the technician tells you so.
Which contaminants matter in your water?
Your test decides. A free water test shows what to treat before you buy a filter.
