What is Lead:
Lead in water is a significant public health problem. Understanding how it gets there and what it is can help address and reduce its presence. Lead is a naturally occurring heavy metal found in the Earth's crust. Historically, lead has been used in various applications, such as in pipes and paints. Lead can enter water supplies through the corrosion of pipes and plumbing materials that contain lead.
Before the dangers of lead were fully understood, it was widely used in water distribution systems. When water sits in lead pipes or plumbing systems containing lead, it can cause lead to leach into the water. This process is exacerbated by water's acidity or low mineral content, which corrodes the pipes and releases lead into the water supply.
Lead is toxic and poses serious health risks, especially to children and pregnant women. It can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and various physical health issues. The CDC and EPA recommend that there is no safe level of lead exposure. To reduce lead in drinking water, it is crucial to replace old lead pipes and fixtures. Using water filters certified to remove lead and flushing water to remove lead particles can help reduce exposure.
What is activated carbon:
Activated carbon, especially when produced from coconut shells, is an amazing natural product, with which the Primato UltraPB activated carbon filter is made. It appears as a fine, odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic black powder. This unique form of activated carbon comes from coconut shells, a renewable and environmentally friendly source. The production process involves heating the coconut shells in a controlled environment without air, creating a highly porous surface. These tiny pores can significantly improve the carbon surface area, ranging from 500 to 1500 m²/g. This extensive surface area allows activated carbon to effectively bind and absorb various substances, whether in liquid or gas form, multiple times its weight. One cubic centimeter of this activated carbon is equivalent to a surface area of 50,000 square meters. Using activated carbon from coconut shells, the Primato UltraPB activated carbon filter ensures efficient and environmentally friendly water purification, making it the best choice for environmentally conscious consumers.
