How does lead get into your water?


As water travels to your home, chemical reactions can occur between the water itself and the plumbing materials that are used in the pipes and faucets. These reactions can corrode the metal pipes, fixtures, and joining agents (solder) introducing metals, like lead, into the water supply. This typically happens in older pipes as they age.

Lead has no taste, smell or color in drinking water, so it is difficult to recognize the risk of lead contamination. One of the best ways to find out if you are at risk is to contact your water provider and ask about the water lines that provide water to your home. It is also important to determine what your home's plumbing lines are made of. Some older home's have lead pipes, presenting the risk of exposure.

How to Reduce Lead Exposure

To find out if your water has any level of lead the EPA suggests having your water tested. You can schedule a water test with a Kinetico water specialist today.
