New Bedford, MA Water Report Quality Analysis
The current water report for New Bedford, MA is online at:
newbedford-ma.gov/dpi/water/WATERQUALITY.pdf
Generally, your water looks okay, though Lead is at 12 ppb (maximum contaminant level is 15 ppb) but KDF will remove it along with small amounts of other metals like chromium, copper and barium. You do have HAA5s and TTHMs, present in all municipal systems, but our KDF/GAC cartridge reduces them. Fluoride is at 0.9 ppm and we have a cartridge that will remove it. Chlorine averages 1.73 ppm and is above the 1 ppm average, but KDF will also remove it. See our NSF-53 test at:

With the above information, I would recommend a single under-counter KDF/GAC filter system for chlorine and heavy metals, our Model UC at $109.95. If you want to remove the fluoride, use our Model UCD-F double under-counter system for $189.95.

We also have countertop versions of our filters.
