RKIN OP1L Certified Whole House Lead, Cyst, PFOA, and PFOS Water Filter System

Eighteen million Americans live in areas where the water quality is below the standards put forth by law. According to a new report by CNN, hardly anything is being done to correct the issue.Children affected by lead poisoning can have learning and behavioral problems, hyperactivity, slow growth, and hearing loss. Symptoms like head and stomach aches, fatigue, and low iron deficiencies are often mistaken for other illnesses. The only way to properly diagnose lead poisoning is through a blood test.According to The American Academy of Pediatrics, there are no effective medical treatments for lead poisoning and that prevention of exposure is critical. Moreover, the U.S. Council Of Environmental Quality states that the risk of developing cancer is 93% higher in people who drink or are otherwise exposed to chlorinated water. Chlorine is a potential health hazard to both children and adults.

There is no safe level of lead for the human body, and unlike other metals, it has no useful biological function. Even low concentrations of lead in the water can cause a significant increase in blood lead levels, and any damage is irreversible.

Lead is a potent neurotoxin, and it has significant effects on childhood health and development. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that lead exposure can affect nearly every system in a child's body, inhibiting the growth of both physical and mental abilities.

Stage 1 - KDF Media. Creates a bacteriostatic environment using copper and zinc alloy which helps with the removal of chlorine and heavy metals.

Stage 2 - Catalytic Activated Coconut Shell Carbon Bed. Designed to remove organic contaminants and disinfectant by-products such as chlorine and chloramines.

Stage 3 - EvenFlow Bed. Innovatively designed to maximize water treatment by substantially increasing contact time with the water filtration media.

Designed to filter out sand, silt, clay, and any other sediment.

This 5-micron sediment filter is the largest size available for maximum flow rates and longevity. It's 20 inches high and 4.5 inches wide.

High-Quality Filter Housing with Bacteriostatic Technology will provide years of pain-free filter replacements.

Invisible, odorless, and tasteless, soluble/ionic lead requires a chemical removal process to be eliminated from the water.

RKIN binders produce a chemical reaction with soluble lead, which creates an ionic bond, kinetically removing lead from the water.

The mineral build-up, or scale, can occur in plumbing and household appliances when your water is hard. Solid deposits of calcium carbonate can form when hard water is heated. This scale can reduce the life of appliances, raise the cost of heating your water and clog pipes. Long-term movement of hard water through a pipe results in scale buildup. This can gradually close up the pipe and lower your water pressure.
