The H1-15LRC filtration system is a great choice when it comes to the filtration and reduction of lead and other heavy metals for drinking water. The technologically advanced cartridge ensure that the reduction of heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, chrome, copper and many more, as well as hazardous chemicals such as chlorine are removed from your drinking water, along with a monumental amount of other VOC’s and THM's. With our ageing water supplies it is not uncommon to have elevated levels of heavy metals in our treated water supplies. These elevated levels of heavy metals combined with the different chemicals being used to treat our water supplies can have serious health effects and can also cause severe problems within our homes. The specially formed and manufactured carbon used in the LRC cartridge make this an exceptional system that does what it's designed to do. In addition to lead and heavy metal reduction, the unique structure of the carbon block enables it to reduce Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba and Toxoplasma cysts and fine sediment particles down to 0.5 microns.
