Water Quality Analysis

Water Quality Analysis Redwood City, CA

The water report for Redwood City, CA is online at:
redwoodcity.org/publicworks/water/pdf/Water Quality/2010_RWC_WaterReport.pdf

The water looks good. However, they list some contaminants present, though they are below the action level. Lead averages 3.9 ppb (maximum contaminant level is 15 ppb), which is below the action. TTHMs and HAA5s are listed, common in water using chlorine. Fluoride averages  0.3 ppm which is low. Chloramine is used as the disinfectant and averages 2.27 ppm which is high. Our KDF/GAC cartridge will reduce chlorine, lead, arsenic, TTHMs and HAA5s. We have a special cartridge for chloramines using catalytic carbon.

I would suggest our double under-counter filter Model UCD-CH for chlorine, chloramines, lead, arsenic, TTHM and HAA5s, other heavy metals, pesticides and organics (countertop Model CTD-CH). If you'd like to reduce fluoride, up to 90 percent, use our triple under-counter Model UCT-CH-F or CTT-CH-F for countertop
