We are on well water and know that it contains some lead and copper. Does this filter remove these heavy metals?

I cannot say it does or doesn't, on the box label it says it reduces heavy metals

It does not, but you may not needed it depending on where you live. Most good water sources, this isn't an issue. If you are using well water, this may be an issue, but then you'll need something like a reserve osmosis (under the sink) filter, rather than a gravity filter. Most gravity filters (ZeroWater, Brita, Pur) will not remove arsenic in high amounts, but will help with trace amounts, but then trace amounts won't hurt you.

I doubt it has lead since it's hooked up to your water supply but I'm not a plumber. Check with the manufacture.

I'm not sure if it filters out arsenic or not, but would imagine it would remove it. What levels of arsenic are in question?? Have you asked the manufacturer?? Would be interested in knowing the answer. Thanks

I have no idea but the filter is made of metal and that is the majority of the filter

Yes, that is recommended if you have high iron and this will take care of any residual left in your water. Install this unit inline after your iron filter. Let me know if you have any other questions. AFW Filters 785-735-9769

Yes, that is exactly my case I have water from a well, the filter works very good but the water is not been softened even when the supplier offer that.

We use county tap water and/or reverse osmosis water. It has a filter. I assumed it's purpose is to filter impurities. If you are using well water with a high iron content, that may reduce the life of the filter.

I recommend it. Its worked for me quite well. Collects water well. I can't say about other contaminants. I don"t see any to speak of. Just push in the air valve underneath to release the water. For what I pd works great. Just don't forget to drain your tank which helps with removing the water. The filter really useful if you use any air tools. Hope I helped you.

No. But if you go to their site they will tell you how to clean the filter that may be clogged with sludge from your water. It is simple to remedy with a non metal cleaning pad to scrape of outer sludge from filter while running under water.

The specs on the filter says it takes out lead dust, but does not mention lead fumes. It's a particulate filter, no mention of any fumes.

I believe the filter allows the water to separate and stay in the filter. There is a fitting at the bottom of the bowel allowing the water and contaminants to be drained off. A must have filtration system for boats

i don't know about well water, but it is supposed to remove everything from tap water.

Hello there is a small magnet set into the filter cartridge. It is there to help remove metals.

I have no idea, but the filter removes calcium, which is why I put it in front of my on demand water heater, to protect the coils. I have both a sediment filter (by the well) and this filter on the hot water line. They serve different purposes. But I am dealing with a fair amount of sediment, since I have well water.

Hi..I doubt this filter will help as it's for sediment ..aka tiny bits of dirt.

Yes, removes chlorine with just the normal black filters! use it all the time to filter my city tap water to make the perfect "berkey" water! The other two supplemental filters are for fluorine and arsenic.
