Lead Filters and Filtration Systems
Lead contamination in drinking water is one of the most urgent home water quality issues across the United States. At HQ Water Solutions, we help protect your home and health by installing certified lead filters and filtration systems designed to reduce or eliminate lead and other heavy metals from your water supply. If your home was built before 1986, or if you rely on aging plumbing infrastructure, there’s a good chance your water may contain traces of lead, even if it looks and tastes fine.
With a comprehensive water test and a custom-fit filtration solution, we help families enjoy peace of mind with every glass of water they drink.
How Our Lead Filters and Filtration Systems Work
At HQ Water Solutions, we install advanced water filter systems designed specifically to remove lead and other heavy metals from your water supply. Each system is built around high-performance filtration media and technology designed for your specific needs. We offer customized lead removal systems, which can be installed as whole-house lead filters, point-of-entry filters, or under-sink drinking water filter systems—depending on your home layout and needs. Each home’s water quality is different, and lead removal will be addressed based on specific water testing parameters.
Certified Performance You Can Trust
All of our lead filter systems are tested and certified to meet NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53, ensuring their ability to reduce contaminants such as lead, chlorine, and other harmful substances. This certification provides peace of mind that the system installed in your home is both effective and safe.
We work only with trusted manufacturers that use high-quality filter cartridges and long-lasting materials. Many of our systems are rated to treat 100,000 gallons or more before replacement is required, and replacement filters are easily available when it’s time for a change.
Pro Tip: Not all water filters remove lead. Always check for independent third-party certification. Our team will ensure your filter is correctly installed and maintained for optimal performance.
Protect Your Family’s Health
A professionally installed lead filtration system can provide lasting protection for your family. Whether you’re filling a pot for dinner, making baby formula, or just pouring a glass of water from the tap, it’s important to know that what’s coming out of your faucet is safe.
Here’s how our systems make a difference:
- Lead-Free Drinking Water: Reduce exposure to toxic lead at every faucet.
- Improved Taste and Odor: Remove chlorine and other taste-damaging contaminants.
- Appliance Protection: Reduce buildup in coffee makers, refrigerators, and dishwashers.
- Peace of Mind: Know that your water is tested, treated, and trustworthy.
We recommend annual water testing to check for contaminants and ensure your water filter system is still operating at peak performance.
Easy Maintenance and Long-Term Value
One of the benefits of installing a lead filter system from HQ Water Solutions is that it’s built for low maintenance and long-term reliability. Our technicians provide full support with filter replacement reminders and maintenance options to ensure your system always performs at its best.
Most of our filter cartridges are easy to change, with no special tools required. Depending on your water usage and quality, you may only need to replace filters once or twice per year. We also offer maintenance plans that include testing and service for your convenience.
