The PIONEER lead and cyst filtration system is a first of its kind whole-house Point-of-Entry (POE) device that houses a strategically designed, nominal 0.5-micron filter to remove soluble and particulate forms of lead contamination in a single filter. Soluble lead is kinetically removed from the water by the creation of an ionic bond. Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal (binder/adsorbent) and a metal (lead) exchange electrons.
Particulate lead is removed by physical filtration.
A recent national survey of community water systems suggests the number of lead service lines in the
country could range from 6 to 10 million and may provide water for as many as 96 million people.
Until it was banned in new home construction in 1986, more than 70% of cities in the U.S. were using lead-based products for conveying water because it was less expensive and more durable than iron. Lead pipe could be easily bent, allowing pipes to be shaped to conform to the contours of existing buildings or other structures.
Lead, a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and potent neurotoxin that has no useful biological function, 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. This most often happens in the pipes that carry water from the water treatment plant to water mains and laterals under the street supplying homes.
Not only does PIONEER remove heavy metals such as lead, it also removes and/or reduces chlorine, chloramine, and other harmful contaminants in your water, Cysts, such as Giardia and Crypto.
The system is third-party certified by IAMPO R&T to the NSF/ANSI 53 Standard for lead and cyst removal at a
filtration level greater than 99.62%, and up to 8 gpm peak flow rates.
