PIONEER LEAD CART, 0.5 Micron Certified Carbon Block, CT-05-CB-AMCYL

The Pioneer™ lead and cyst filtration system is a first-of-its-kind whole-house lead removal system. This point-of-entry (POE) filtration system starts at the source and gives peace of mind throughout the entire home. Soluble lead is invisible, odorless, and tasteless and needs to be chemically removed from water. This product removes soluble and particulate lead forms at 99.62% for 100,000 gallons at 4.51 gal per minute (gpm), including peak flow rates up to 8 gpm.

In addition to lead, the patented Pioneer system removes more than 99.5% of Giardia, Cryptosporidium, chlorine, and chloramine. Giardia and Cryptosporidium are waterborne parasites that cause diarrheal disease, are resistant to chlorine-based disinfectants, and are common in drinking and recreational waters.p> Lead can enter drinking water when service lines that contain lead corrode, especially where the water has high acidity or low mineral content that corrodes pipes and fixtures, most often from the pipes that carry water from the water treatment plant to water mains supplying homes. Lead release is heavily influenced by the chemistry of the water delivered by the water system and by physical disturbances such as road construction or water primary replacements. There is no safe level of lead for the human body, and unlike other metals, it has no proper biological function.

The Pioneer™ POE filtration system houses a designed nominal 0.5-μ filter to remove soluble and particulate forms of lead contamination from the whole house in a single filter.

Pioneer™ is certified by IAPMO R&T against NSF/ANSI Standard 53 for lead, cysts, and material safety requirements and by NSF Intl. against NSF/ANSI Standards 44 and 61 for materials and structural integrity requirements. 0.5 Micron Carbon Block, High Capacity, Lead, Cyst, Chloramine, & CTO Reduction (NSF 53 & 42)
