Does Boiling Water Reduce Lead? Why Carbon Water Filtration Systems are a Better Option

Does Boiling Water Reduce Lead?

Contrary to popular belief, boiling water does not reduce the amount of lead in it. In fact, boiling water can actually increase the concentration of lead in water. This is because when water is boiled, some of the water evaporates, but the lead remains behind, leading to a more concentrated solution. Additionally, boiling water can actually make other contaminants more concentrated as well, making it an unreliable method for removing harmful substances from your water.

Why a Carbon Water Filtration System is a Better Option?

If your water source contains lead, the best way to reduce the amount of lead in it is to use a water filtration system that is certified to remove lead. Carbon Water Filtration systems are a highly effective option for removing lead and other harmful contaminants from your drinking water. These systems use activated carbon to filter out contaminants, including lead, chlorine, and other impurities.

Not only are carbon water filtration systems effective at removing harmful substances from your water, but they are also affordable and easy to use. They come in a variety of sizes and styles, so you can find one that fits your budget and your needs.

If you live in apartments/condos

Carbon filters come in various forms, including pitcher filters, faucet filters, Under The Sink RO Systems and Whole-house Systems. If you live in a condo or apartment, a faucet filter or pitcher filter can be a convenient and affordable solution for short term. For those who are concerned about quality in their drinking water, installing a Reverse Osmosis system can be a great solution. Reverse Osmosis is a water purification process that uses a membrane to remove impurities from water. These systems are highly effective at removing lead, as well as other contaminants, and are especially useful for those who live in areas with high levels of lead in their water. With our 6-stage Reverse Osmosis systems, we add a Alkaline filter as the last stage to add healthy minerals back to your drinking water make it tasty.

If you live in a house

However, if you own a home or have a larger family, a Whole-house Carbon Filtration System and Water Softener may be a better option.

Here are some reasons why you should consider using a carbon water filtration system for your entire home:

Removes harmful contaminants:

Carbon water filters are highly effective at removing a wide range of harmful contaminants from your water, including lead, chlorine, pesticides, herbicides, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These contaminants can have serious negative impacts on your health, so it's important to remove them from your drinking water.

Improves taste and odour:

Carbon filtration systems also improve the taste and odour of your water. By removing chlorine and other contaminants, the water tastes and smells fresher and cleaner, making it more enjoyable to drink.

Protects your appliances:

Installing a carbon water filtration system together with a water softener can also help protect your appliances from damage caused by hard water. Hard water can cause scale buildup in your pipes and appliances, reducing their lifespan and efficiency. Carbon filters can remove the minerals that cause hard water, protecting your appliances and saving you money in the long run.

Reduces plastic waste:

By installing a carbon filtration system for your whole home, you can significantly reduce the amount of plastic waste produced by bottled water. This is a great way to reduce your environmental impact and help protect our planet.

Convenience:

A whole-house carbon water filtration system provides you with clean, healthy water from every tap in your home. You don't need to worry about filling up pitchers or changing filters on individual faucets. This can save you time and hassle, and provide peace of mind knowing that your water is always safe to drink.
