Then I was curious as to how these specialty filters were rated as far as chemical contaminants. I must say that I was rather surprised at the disparity between the various filters’ ability to handle lead, as to its competency at controlling contaminants in the water. One of the first things I was to pick a company that was highly rated, and then I searched for their most effective lead water filter.

I know, I know, I was strictly looking for a
