Home / Drinking Water Filters / Heavy Metals Filters
We get asked this question a lot - "Do we need to filter for heavy metals?"
Our answer is "Only if you live in an older house that still has lead pipework."
Lead in water is usually only associated with old buildings where the Victorian piping hasn't been replaced with modern copper or plastic. Lead is hazardous to health, however, if you run the taps for a few minutes before drinking it then the water that's been standing in the pipes that has lead dissolved in it drains away.
Remembering to always let that water stand could be a problem which is why so many people choose to install one of our drinking water filters that will remove heavy metals including lead.
If you need any help or advice about whether you should invest in a heavy metals drinking water filter then please call us on 01352 838 281, or send us a message through our help desk.
What our customers have to say about us
Great 3-way tap, which was well packaged, with clear instructions. Our plumber commended the tap as good quality and easy to plumb in and connect to both water supply and under-sink filter. Looks brilliant in our new kitchen. Thanks to Fountain Filters for a helpful website and speedy delivery service.
Great product, simple to install including hints on common installation challenges which I did have and overcame instantly because of the care taken by the seller. Whole of house now has soft water without a noticeable drop in pressure. Has made a massive difference throughout.
It was a small but important order: replacement o-ring with silicon for my water filter housing. when I told them I had not received the articles after 7 days, they without fuss dispatched a replacement with the result I received the original and replacement 3 days later! Very responsive customer service.
After moving into a property with a fresh water supply, I turned to Fountain Filters for advice on replacing the water filter system. I purchased the Moby Twin Sediment System and it has been a worry-free system. Even changing the filters was far easier than the old system. Cannot fault this company on speed of service or quality of advice.
