Lead In Water

  • Removes lead if testing confirms its presence in your water.
  • Works seamlessly as part of a whole-home filtration system.
  • Delivers high-capacity flow for consistent lead protection.

Lead in Your Water? Here’s How to Fix It in Minneapolis–St. Paul

Removing lead from drinking water is critical for your family’s health. Even small amounts can cause serious risks, especially for children — including developmental delays, lower IQ, and organ damage. In the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, where water is moderately hard and chlorine-treated, lead can still enter your water through aging pipes and old fixtures.

An effective solution combines proven filtration methods. Activated carbon or reverse osmosis can remove most lead, while also tackling PFAS, chlorine, and other contaminants. A whole-home system with a particulate filter adds extra protection, shielding your plumbing and appliances from buildup and corrosion.

Regular maintenance and professional water testing help confirm that lead levels stay low and your system works as intended. For maximum peace of mind, Northern Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® proudly installs Brita PRO whole-home filtration systems — trusted technology designed to remove lead and keep your water safe at every tap.
