Tyler, TX Water Report Quality Analysis

Tyler, TX water report is online at:
cityoftyler.org/Portals/0/docs/departments/water/Water Production & Quality/Water Quality Reports/Water Quality Report 2010.pdf

The water looks good. However, they list several contaminants present, though they are below the action level. Lead was measured at 4.1 ppb (maximum contaminant level is 15). Arsenic is listed at less than 2 ppb (MCL is 10).  Chloramines is used as the disinfectant (chlorine combined with ammonia), and averages 2.38 ppm. Our KDF/GAC cartridge will reduce arsenic, lead, chlorine, chromium and reduce TTHMs and HAA5 (common in water using chlorination).You will need a chloramines cartridge. Fluoride is very low from 0.05 to 0.45 ppm. I would suggest our double under-counter filter Model UCD-CH for chlorine, chloramines arsenic, chromium, lead, TTHM and HAA5s, other heavy metals, pesticides and organics. If you'd like to reduce fluoride, we have a cartridge that removes up to 90 percent. That would be Model UCT-CH-F for under-counter use. I would check with your water company to verify that the fluoride averages less than 0.45 ppm (average across the US is 1 ppm).  If it's that low, then you probably don't need to get an extra fluoride filter.
