Los Angeles, CA Water Analysis

Los Angeles, CA Water Report Quality Analysis

The current water report for Los Angeles is at

ladwp.com/ladwp/cms/ladwp014333.pdf

Your water looks good, however, they list some contaminants present, though they are below the action level. Lead was measured as high as 5.6 ppb (maximum contaminant level is 15). Arsenic is listed at 3 ppb with an MCL of 10 and chromium was also detected at 1 to 2 ppb. TTHMs and HAA5s are listed, common in water using chlorine. KDF will reduce lead, arsenic and chromium. Fluoride is listed at 0.90 ppm and is about average. Chloramines is used as the disinfectant and is averaging 1.8 ppm. We have a special cartridge for chloramines.  Our KDF/GAC cartridge will reduce lead, chlorine, iron, TTHMs and HAA5s and our catalytic carbon cartridge will reduce chloramines.

I would suggest our double under-counter filter Model UCD-CH chloramines, chlorine, lead, TTHM and HAA5s, other heavy metals, pesticides and organics (countertop Model CTD-CH).  If you'd like to reduce fluoride, we have a cartridge that removes up to 90 percent in a triple cartridge system.
