Best for homeowners who want a one-time install with no controller programming, no scheduled backwash, no electrical outlet at the install location, and no plumbed drain. Suitable for cabins, off-grid homes, hunting camps, detached well houses, basements without floor drains, and any whole-house install where simplicity and zero ongoing power use matter more than automatic gallon tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot for:\u003c\/strong\u003e water with iron above 0.3 ppm or manganese above 0.05 ppm; pre-treat with an iron filter first because iron will foul the arsenic resin and shorten media life dramatically. Not for water with elevated phosphate, silica, sulfate, selenium, or vanadium without a water test review, since these competing anions reduce arsenic capacity. Not the right pick for arsenite-dominant (trivalent As III) water without an upstream oxidation step that converts arsenite to arsenate; most US well water arsenic is already in the arsenate (As V) form, but a $25 lab test confirms speciation. Not for municipal water on a public water system. Not for a household that would prefer a built-in metered alarm; choose the metered 10 GPM Clack WS1 arsenic system instead if you have power and a drain at the install point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTalk to Aidan Before You Buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFree expert phone consultation before you buy. Call or text Aidan at 800-460-5810, 7 days a week, 8 AM to 5 PM Eastern. Send your certified well water lab test results (we recommend a National Testing Labs or Tap Score panel) and Aidan will personally confirm whether this non-backwashing system is the right fit, whether you need iron pre-treatment first, and whether your arsenic is arsenate or arsenite. No upsell, no hard sell, no commission. Mid Atlantic Water is a national online-only water treatment company shipping to all 50 states; the consultation, sizing, water test interpretation, and post-install support are delivered remotely by phone, text, and email regardless of where you live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Arsenic-Selective Ion Exchange Resin Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost low-cost whole-house arsenic filters use granular adsorptive media, typically titanium dioxide or iron oxide coated alumina. They physically trap arsenic on the surface of each granule. They are inexpensive and they work, but they have one serious flaw: when the adsorptive bed reaches capacity, accumulated arsenic can desorb and \"dump\" back into the treated water at concentrations higher than the source water. In a non-monitored installation like a cabin or off-grid home where you are tracking media life by periodic water testing rather than a metered alarm, an arsenic dumping event between tests means your family is drinking water with elevated arsenic without knowing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWQA Gold Seal arsenic-selective hybrid ion exchange resin is structurally different. The resin is a polymer matrix with hydrated iron oxide monoatomically dispersed throughout the bead, not just coated on the surface. Even when operated past its exhaustion point, effluent arsenic levels never exceed influent arsenic levels. There is no arsenic dumping. That single property is why we put this resin in every arsenic system we ship, and why we chose it over cheaper titanium dioxide and iron oxide alumina alternatives that competing whole-house arsenic systems use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTreatment Order for Wells with Iron and Arsenic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf your well water has both iron and arsenic, the install order is fixed: iron filter first, then water softener if hardness is elevated, then arsenic filter last. The water reaching the arsenic resin must be effectively iron-free (under 0.3 ppm) because residual iron will coat the resin beads and reduce arsenic exchange capacity. Aidan walks customers through this sequencing on every consultation call. If your iron is above 5 ppm, our Katalox Light catalytic iron filters will also remove some arsenic as a coprecipitant, but for arsenic above the EPA MCL we always recommend a dedicated arsenic-selective resin downstream as the polishing step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNumbered Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduces arsenate (As V) from elevated well water to below the EPA MCL of 10 parts per billion\u003c\/strong\u003e using WQA Gold Seal certified arsenic-selective hybrid ion exchange resin, with capacity of approximately 500,000 gallons per cubic foot reducing 50 ppb to under 10 ppb under ideal conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZero arsenic dumping at media exhaustion.\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike titanium dioxide or iron oxide alumina adsorptive media, effluent arsenic level never exceeds influent arsenic level even past the resin's working capacity, the safest property a residential whole-house arsenic media can have.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstalls anywhere with pressurized water.\u003c\/strong\u003e No electrical outlet required, no floor drain required, no backwash cycles, no controller programming, no scheduled service intervention.

After upstream oxidation, also reduces arsenite (As III), trivalent arsenic, the more toxic and harder-to-remove form found in some reducing-environment wells. Reduces total dissolved arsenic to below the EPA Maximum Contaminant Level of 0.010 mg\/L (10 parts per billion) under the recommended operating conditions. Does not remove iron, manganese, hardness, hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell), chlorine, sediment, bacteria, viruses, lead, copper, mercury, uranium, nitrate, fluoride, or volatile organic compounds; pair with the appropriate dedicated treatment if any of those are present in your well water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlumbed inline on the cold water service entering the home, downstream of the well pressure tank and downstream of any iron filter or water softener.

No electrical outlet at the install location, no floor drain, no programming. The system arrives pre-loaded with 2 cubic feet of arsenic-selective resin and ready to install in 1 to 2 hours by a homeowner with basic plumbing skills, or by any local plumber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWater Testing and Media Life\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArsenic is invisible, tasteless, and odorless, so the only way to know what your well water contains, and the only way to know when this system's media is approaching capacity, is a certified lab test. Test the raw well water before purchase to confirm arsenic concentration and to check for the upstream conditions (pH, iron, manganese, phosphate, silica, sulfate). Then test the treated water annually after install. Resin life depends on raw arsenic concentration and total volume of water treated: 1 to 5 years is the typical residential range. A well at 30 ppb arsenic with high household water use will exhaust faster than a well at 12 ppb arsenic with normal use. When the treated water arsenic begins to climb (still well below the influent level thanks to no-dumping resin chemistry), the resin tank gets a media swap and the rest of the system continues for the life of the tank and valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and Ongoing Support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e10 years on the Vortech mineral tank, 5 years on the Clack C1190 in\/out service head, and lifetime free phone and text support from Aidan at 800-460-5810, 7 days a week, for installation questions, water test interpretation, sizing changes, and media replacement timing.

Many state health departments and pediatric guidance recommend treating private well water above 5 ppb arsenic, particularly when young children, pregnant women, or immunocompromised household members are present, because long-term arsenic exposure is linked to skin, bladder, and lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, and developmental effects in children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is arsenic in well water common in the United States?\u003c\/strong\u003e Naturally occurring arsenic from bedrock geology is common in private wells across New England (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts), the Upper Midwest (Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, parts of the Dakotas), the Southwest United States (Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, parts of California, parts of Colorado), Appalachia (parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia), and parts of the Pacific Northwest. USGS arsenic-in-groundwater mapping is the best regional reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between arsenate and arsenite?\u003c\/strong\u003e Arsenate (As V), pentavalent arsenic, is the dominant form of arsenic in oxygenated groundwater and the form most well water arsenic is already in. Arsenic-selective ion exchange resin removes arsenate efficiently. Arsenite (As III), trivalent arsenic, is more toxic and more mobile and is found in some reducing-environment wells. Arsenite must be oxidized to arsenate (via chlorination, ozonation, or an oxidizing filter) for selective resin to remove it. A speciation lab test confirms which forms are in your water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the water need to be iron-free before the arsenic filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e Iron in the influent water coats the arsenic-selective resin beads and blocks arsenic exchange sites. As little as 0.3 ppm iron will measurably shorten media life. The fix is an upstream iron filter (Katalox Light catalytic iron filter is our standard recommendation) that drops iron below the threshold before the water reaches the arsenic resin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy this resin and not titanium dioxide or iron oxide alumina?\u003c\/strong\u003e Titanium dioxide and iron oxide coated alumina are common, cheaper adsorptive media for arsenic. They work well until the bed approaches capacity, at which point accumulated arsenic can desorb and release back into the treated water at concentrations higher than the source. Arsenic-selective hybrid ion exchange resin does not exhibit this dumping behavior; effluent arsenic stays below influent arsenic even past exhaustion. For non-monitored residential installations like cabins, off-grid homes, and well houses where you cannot watch a metered alarm, the no-dumping property is the most important safety characteristic the media can have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need a water softener with this system?\u003c\/strong\u003e Only if your hardness is elevated and you want softened water for the household. Hardness does not directly compete for arsenic exchange sites the way iron and phosphate do, but a softener installed before the arsenic filter is the standard sequence when both are present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know when to replace the media?\u003c\/strong\u003e Test the treated water arsenic annually. As the resin nears capacity, treated arsenic begins to creep up but stays below the raw influent level. Replace the media when treated arsenic approaches the action threshold for your household (5 ppb if you have small children, 10 ppb otherwise). Aidan will help you read the test results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I install this myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The system arrives pre-loaded with 2 cubic feet of resin and ready to install. A homeowner with basic plumbing skills can install it in 1 to 2 hours, or any local plumber can install it. Free phone and text support from Aidan at 800-460-5810, 7 days a week, before, during, and after install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Mid Atlantic Water","offers":[{"title":"Default

risk), or your municipality has a documented lead service line inventory, OR you have a positive in-home lead test at or above the EPA action level of 15 parts per billion at the tap, OR you have parents and young children (under 6 years old) and want whole-house treatment for both drinking and bathing water because lead absorbs through skin, especially in infants. The Pioneer is also appropriate for confirmed PFOA \/ PFOS contamination at municipally reported levels and for cyst protection (Giardia, Cryptosporidium) on private wells with surface-water influence. Do not use the Pioneer as your only line of defense if your water has high iron above 0.3 ppm (install an iron filter upstream first), heavy chlorine or chloramine that would consume the carbon-block capacity prematurely (install a whole-house catalytic carbon filter upstream), or visible sediment and turbidity (install a 5-micron sediment pre-filter upstream).

They do not treat bathing water, brushing-teeth water, ice-maker water (unless plumbed to it), bathroom sink water, or laundry water. Lead absorbs through skin, especially in infants, and inhalation of aerosolized lead during showering is a documented exposure pathway. Whole-house point-of-entry treatment with the Pioneer means the same NSF 53 certified lead reduction is delivered to every fixture in the home, including the shower head, bathroom sinks, the bathtub used for bathing infants, the kitchen sink, the ice maker, and the dishwasher. For households with a confirmed lead service line, with children under 6 years old, or with a positive in-home lead test above the EPA action level of 15 ppb, point-of-entry is the medically conservative configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a Whole-House Lead Filter Beats a Reverse Osmosis System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhole-house reverse osmosis is technically possible but practically uncommon: residential whole-house RO systems require an atmospheric storage tank, a permeate booster pump, drain water of typically 2 to 4 gallons per gallon of treated water, and significant electrical infrastructure. The Pioneer requires zero electricity, zero drain water, and zero waste. RO is the right choice for a single drinking-water tap (under-sink RO at the kitchen sink, paired with the Pioneer at the point of entry is the strongest configuration). The Pioneer is the right choice for whole-house lead, PFAS, and cyst reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pioneer installs at the point of entry of the home, immediately after the well pressure tank or immediately after the city water meter, before any branch lines run to the rest of the plumbing. Required plumbing: 1 inch threaded MNPT connections on both inlet and outlet via the integrated bypass valve, no glue, no special tools. The system requires no electrical connection, no drain line, no salt, and no backwashing. The system ships pre-loaded with the CT-05-CB-AMCYL cartridge installed and the LED meter cap pre-fitted. Most installations take 2 to 3 hours for an experienced homeowner with basic plumbing skills, or 1 to 2 hours for a licensed plumber. Cartridge replacement is a 15-minute snap-ring procedure with no tools required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and Ongoing Support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Enpress E3-M tank carries the manufacturer limited warranty on tank and head. The CT-05-CB-AMCYL cartridge is a consumable replacement part rated for up to 100,000 gallons or 12 months of lead reduction, whichever comes first, with the LED meter providing real-time gallon-usage tracking. Ongoing support is delivered remotely by Mid Atlantic Water at 800-460-5810, 7 days a week, 8 AM to 5 PM Eastern. We answer the phone, we walk you through cartridge replacement, we help interpret follow-up water tests, and we coordinate with your local plumber on configuration questions. We are an online-only national ecommerce business; the consultation and ongoing support are remote, the system ships to all 50 states, and you self-install or hire your own local plumber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Pioneer remove all forms of lead?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Pioneer is certified to NSF\/ANSI Standard 53 for 99.62% reduction of both soluble (dissolved ionic) lead and particulate lead. Soluble lead is the form that passes through ordinary 5-micron and 25-micron cartridge filters; the Pioneer's 0.5 micron certified carbon block uses ionic bonding to capture it. Particulate lead is the visible flake form from corroding lead pipes; the 0.5 micron mechanical rating captures it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Pioneer remove PFAS?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Pioneer is certified to NSF P473 for 97.8% reduction of PFOA and PFOS, the two most-studied PFAS compounds. Reduction of newer-generation PFAS (GenX, PFBS, PFHxA) is associated with the same carbon-block media but is not separately certified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the Pioneer work on city water with chloramine?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The cartridge is rated for 150,000+ gallons of chloramine taste-and-odor reduction. If your municipal water has heavy chloramine and you want to extend lead cartridge life, install a dedicated whole-house catalytic carbon filter upstream of the Pioneer. Aidan can size the upstream carbon filter for your usage on a 5 minute phone consultation at 800-460-5810.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the Pioneer work on well water?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, with two pre-treatment caveats. If your well has total iron above 0.3 ppm, install a dedicated iron filter upstream first; iron will foul the carbon block prematurely. If your well has visible turbidity, install a 5-micron sediment pre-filter upstream. With those two pre-treatments handled (or already absent from your water), the Pioneer is appropriate for whole-house lead, PFAS, and cyst reduction on a private well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow often do I replace the cartridge?\u003c\/strong\u003e The cartridge is rated for up to 100,000 gallons or 12 months for NSF 53 lead reduction, whichever comes first. The LED meter cap tracks gallons used in real time, color-coded green to yellow to red as you approach replacement. No calendar guessing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to test my water before buying?\u003c\/strong\u003e We strongly recommend it. For private well water, a certified lab water test (EPA-method analysis for lead, total iron, pH, hardness, sulfate, nitrate, total coliform) is the right starting point. For city water, your utility's annual Consumer Confidence Report names the contaminants of concern; a confirmatory in-home lead test at the tap (point-of-use lab kit) is recommended for any home with copper plumbing pre-1986 or any documented lead service line. Mid Atlantic Water sells lab-analyzed water test kits and Aidan will interpret the results for free at 800-460-5810.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the Pioneer as my only filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e If your only goal is whole-house lead, PFAS, and cyst reduction, and your water has no other contamination issues (no iron, no hardness, no sulfur, no sediment, neutral pH), yes. If you have other water issues (hard water, iron staining, acidic water, sulfur smell), the Pioneer is a polishing filter that pairs with cluster-specific upstream treatment. Aidan will lay out the recommended whole-house configuration on a free phone consultation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy not just use a point-of-use under-sink lead filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e Point-of-use lead filters protect one tap. They do not treat the shower water your children bathe in, the bathroom sink they brush their teeth at, the bathtub they sit in, or the ice and dishwasher water. Lead is absorbed through skin (particularly in infants) and inhaled as an aerosol during hot showers. For households with documented lead exposure or children under 6, point-of-entry treatment is the medically conservative configuration; the Pioneer is the right choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere does the Pioneer ship from?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Pioneer ships from the manufacturer in 1 to 2 business days. Free shipping to all 48 contiguous United States. We ship to Alaska and Hawaii on a freight basis (call for a freight quote). The system arrives pre-loaded with the cartridge installed, the LED meter cap pre-fitted, and the integrated bypass valve attached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Pioneer made in the USA?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The Enpress E3-M tank is manufactured in the United States and the cartridge is manufactured in the United States. NSF 53 and NSF P473 certifications are issued by IAPMO R\u0026amp;T, a U.S.-based third-party certification body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know whether to choose the Pioneer or a different lead-rated system?\u003c\/strong\u003e Call 800-460-5810.

GAC is a general-purpose adsorption media: it works well on chlorine, taste, and odor, but its binding sites are non-selective, so dissolved organic matter and other contaminants compete with PFAS for the same capacity. Independent studies of point-of-entry GAC systems show average PFAS reduction around 73 percent with very high variability between sites, between compounds, and over time. Ion exchange resins like ResinTech SIR-110-HP are engineered with functional groups that preferentially bind PFAS molecules, providing higher selectivity, faster kinetics, more consistent removal across a wide spectrum of PFAS compounds, and longer effective media life on real residential supplies. For homes where PFAS reduction is the primary treatment goal, ion exchange is the technology recommended by EPA-affiliated PFAS treatment guidance documents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduces PFOA and PFOS to non-detect levels\u003c\/strong\u003e at typical residential influent concentrations using WQA Gold Seal certified ResinTech SIR-110-HP PFAS-selective ion exchange resin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTargets a wide spectrum of additional PFAS compounds\u003c\/strong\u003e including PFNA, PFHxS, GenX (HFPO-DA), PFBS, and other long-chain and short-chain PFAS species, going well beyond the two most-publicized compounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhole-house protection\u003c\/strong\u003e at the point of entry, addressing dermal exposure during bathing and inhalation exposure from steam during showering, not just drinking water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo electricity, no drain line, no backwashing, no programming.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Clack In-Out head is a fixed downflow service valve.

The system ships pre-loaded with media and the Clack In-Out head pre-mounted to the Vortech tank. No electrical outlet and no drain connection are required at the install location. For homes with documented heavy PFAS contamination, a lead-lag configuration with two systems plumbed in series is the conservative choice; the first vessel takes most of the breakthrough load, the second polishes to non-detect, and you swap the lead vessel into the lag position when the first one exhausts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and ongoing support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clack In-Out head and Vortech tank carry the standard manufacturer warranties for control valves and mineral tanks (5 years on the head, 10 years structural on the tank).

This system reduces PFOA and PFOS to non-detect at typical residential influent concentrations and provides reduction across a wide spectrum of additional PFAS species including PFNA, PFHxS, GenX, and PFBS. Removal of any specific compound at any specific concentration should be confirmed by post-installation testing if non-detect is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this NSF\/ANSI 53 P473 certified?\u003c\/strong\u003e The ResinTech SIR-110-HP resin used in this system is WQA Gold Seal certified. NSF\/ANSI 53 P473 and NSF\/ANSI 58 (point-of-use reverse osmosis) are point-of-use certifications and apply primarily to under-sink and pitcher-style filters tested at point-of-use flow rates. This is a point-of-entry whole-house system; the relevant validation is the WQA Gold Seal on the resin itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I choose whole-house ion exchange or under-sink reverse osmosis?\u003c\/strong\u003e Reverse osmosis under the kitchen sink is the cheaper point-of-use option for drinking-water-only protection. Whole-house ion exchange is the right choice when bathing and showering exposure is also a concern, since PFAS can be absorbed dermally and via inhaled steam. Call 800-460-5810 if you are unsure which is right for your situation; we will tell you honestly when reverse osmosis under the sink is the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long will the resin last?\u003c\/strong\u003e Media life depends on PFAS concentration in the influent water, total water volume treated, and the presence of competing organic matter and oxidants. On a typical 4-person household with moderate PFAS contamination and proper sediment pre-filtration, expect multi-year service life. The conservative practice is to retest your treated water annually and plan resin replacement when treated-water PFAS approaches your action threshold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know if PFAS is in my water?\u003c\/strong\u003e Check your utility's most recent EPA UCMR 5 results, your state environmental agency's PFAS map, the EWG Tap Water Database, and any annual Consumer Confidence Report from your utility. For private wells, request a certified-lab PFAS panel; we sell test kits. The April 2024 EPA national primary drinking water regulation sets enforceable PFAS Maximum Contaminant Levels of 4 parts per trillion for PFOA and PFOS and 10 parts per trillion for PFNA, PFHxS, and HFPO-DA, with utility compliance required by 2029.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need a sediment pre-filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. A 20 inch Big Blue sediment pre-filter upstream of the PFAS tank is strongly recommended. Suspended particulates will foul the ion exchange resin and shorten its life materially. The pre-filter is sold separately so you can match the micron rating to your specific water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if I also have iron, hardness, or chlorine in my water?\u003c\/strong\u003e Treat those upstream of the PFAS system. Iron oxidizes and physically fouls ion exchange resin. Hardness competes for binding sites and prematurely loads the resin. Chlorine and chloramine degrade most polymeric resins over time. A typical sequence is sediment pre-filter, then any iron or oxidation step, then a softener if hardness is high, then the PFAS ion exchange tank, with the home plumbing downstream.

They physically trap arsenic on the surface of the granules and they are inexpensive, but they share one critical flaw: when the media reaches capacity, accumulated arsenic can dump back into the treated water at concentrations higher than the influent. Arsenic-selective ion exchange resin behaves differently. The resin is a hybrid anion exchange polymer with hydrated iron oxide monoatomically dispersed throughout the matrix, WQA Gold Seal certified for potable water contact. Even when operated past its exhaustion point, effluent arsenic levels never exceed influent arsenic levels. There is no arsenic dumping. That single property is why this is the safest residential arsenic media available, especially for installations where the family relies on the system for daily drinking water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemoves arsenate (As V) from 50 ppb down to below the EPA MCL of 10 ppb\u003c\/strong\u003e for over 500,000 gallons per cubic foot of WQA Gold Seal certified arsenic-selective ion exchange resin.

Trivalent arsenite (As III) only after upstream oxidation to As V. Some incidental reduction of selenium, antimony, vanadium, and chromium VI may occur depending on raw water chemistry, though this resin is purpose-built for arsenic and is not a multi-contaminant heavy-metal filter. Removal does not degrade with normal exposure to chlorides, bicarbonates, or sulfates at typical well-water concentrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRaw well water enters the 13 inch by 54 inch Vortech mineral tank through the 1 inch metered control valve and flows downward through 2 cubic feet of WQA Gold Seal arsenic-selective ion exchange resin. The resin contains hydrated iron oxide monoatomically dispersed throughout an anion exchange polymer matrix. Arsenate ions in the water are selectively bound by the iron oxide sites and held in the resin. Treated water exits through the underbed distributor and on to the home. The control valve continuously meters gallons treated and triggers a programmable service reminder when capacity is approaching, prompting a treated-water arsenic test to confirm the resin still meets the 10 ppb MCL. Unlike granular adsorptive arsenic media, the resin does not release accumulated arsenic when capacity is exceeded, so effluent levels never exceed influent levels even past exhaustion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis system installs at the point where the main water line enters the home, typically near the end of the well water treatment train. Recommended treatment order: sediment pre-filter, then iron filter (if iron is present), then acid neutralizer (if pH is below 6.5), then water softener (if hardness is elevated), then this arsenic removal system, then UV disinfection (if bacteria are a concern), then drinking water reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink. Sediment, iron, and pH adjustment all impact arsenic resin capacity, so removing them upstream protects the more expensive arsenic media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe plumbing connection is 1 inch threaded inlet and outlet with the included bypass valve. You will need a nearby drain (floor drain, utility sink, sump, or condensate pump), a standard 110 to 120 volt grounded outlet within reach of the valve, and basic copper, PEX, CPVC, or SharkBite plumbing supplies. Most experienced DIYers complete the installation in 2 to 3 hours; a licensed local plumber typically charges 500 to 1,000 dollars for the install. The tank ships pre-loaded with media so there is nothing to fill on site in the standard install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTest first, buy right\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArsenic is invisible, tasteless, and odorless. The only way to know what is in your well water is a certified lab test that measures arsenic at parts-per-billion precision and ideally also reports the arsenate vs arsenite speciation (As V vs As III). Before ordering, we strongly recommend a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/well-water-test-kit\"\u003ewell water test kit\u003c\/a\u003e that measures arsenic alongside 52 other contaminants. Testing first ensures you buy the right system the first time and tells us whether you also need pre-treatment for arsenite, iron, manganese, low pH, or competing anions. Call or text Aidan at 800-460-5810 with your results and he will personally confirm whether the 10 GPM metered system is the right fit, whether the non-backwashing Clack version makes more sense, or whether a lead and lag pair is appropriate for your raw arsenic level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and ongoing support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1 inch metered control valve is covered by a 5 year manufacturer warranty.

We have shipped this exact resin to homeowners with verified well-water arsenic levels across the United States. The very small number of cases where it has not met the target are usually unaddressed arsenite (As III), iron interference, very high silica or competing anions, or a household demand that should have been a lead and lag pair from the start. Aidan will troubleshoot directly with you to confirm the cause before any return is processed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the 10 GPM metered system handle my arsenic level?\u003c\/strong\u003e If your certified lab water test shows arsenate (As V) up to roughly 50 ppb, household demand at 10 GPM service flow, influent pH between 6.5 and 8.5, iron below 0.3 ppm, and low competing anions, yes. If raw arsenic is above 30 ppb or you want belt-and-suspenders protection, a lead and lag pair is the right answer. If raw arsenic is below 5 ppb, a less expensive non-backwashing setup or even a point-of-use arsenic RO system at the kitchen sink may be sufficient. Call 800-460-5810 with your test results and we will tell you which configuration is correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from the non-backwashing Clack arsenic filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both use the same 2 cubic feet of WQA Gold Seal arsenic-selective ion exchange resin and remove arsenate to the same effluent quality. The differences are operational: this 10 GPM system uses a 13 inch by 54 inch Vortech tank with a 1 inch metered control valve that requires a 110 volt outlet and a drain line, and it carries a higher service flow rating sized for 4 or more bathroom homes with 5 or more occupants. The Clack non-backwashing version uses a 12 inch by 52 inch Vortech tank with a Clack C1190 in\/out head that requires no power and no drain, sized for 2 to 3 bathroom homes, cabins, off-grid setups, and any install location where running power and a drain is not practical. Same media, different valve and tank, different install requirements, different price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a lead and lag setup and do I need one?\u003c\/strong\u003e Lead and lag means two arsenic systems plumbed in series. The lead vessel does the bulk of the arsenic removal. The lag vessel polishes the water and guards against breakthrough if the lead resin is exhausted before the homeowner notices. When the lead resin is exhausted, swap positions: the old lag (still mostly fresh) becomes the new lead, and the old lead vessel gets new media. This setup gives uninterrupted protection and maximizes media utilization. We recommend it when raw arsenic exceeds 30 ppb, when the family is medically sensitive (pregnancy, infants, immunocompromised), or when the cost of a brief breakthrough event would be unacceptable. Call us to discuss whether your situation justifies it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is arsenate vs arsenite, and why does it matter?\u003c\/strong\u003e Arsenic in well water exists in two main forms. Arsenate (As V) is the oxidized form and is what arsenic-selective ion exchange resin removes. Arsenite (As III) is the reduced form, more common in deeper anoxic wells, and is not effectively removed by this resin until it is oxidized to As V. Most US well water has arsenic predominantly as As V, but a certified lab speciation report is the only way to know for sure. If your test shows significant As III, you will need an upstream chlorination, ozonation, or oxidizing filter (potassium permanganate or proprietary catalytic media) to convert it to As V before this system can remove it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does iron need to be removed first?\u003c\/strong\u003e Iron above 0.3 ppm fouls the arsenic resin by coating the active sites and dramatically reducing its capacity for arsenate. Manganese above 0.05 ppm causes similar fouling. Always install an iron filter upstream of an arsenic system if your water test shows meaningful iron or manganese. The iron filter not only protects the more expensive arsenic resin but also addresses staining, taste, and odor problems independent of arsenic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow often does the resin need to be replaced?\u003c\/strong\u003e Typical media life is 1 to 5 years depending on raw arsenic concentration, daily water use, and competing contaminants. The metered control valve gives a programmable signal when scheduled replacement is approaching, but the only way to know the resin is still meeting the 10 ppb effluent target is annual treated-water lab testing. We recommend testing every 12 months and again whenever the meter triggers the service reminder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I install this myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, if you have basic plumbing experience (sweating copper, working with PEX or SharkBite fittings, running a 1\/2 inch drain line, terminating a 110 volt outlet). Most DIY installs take 2 to 3 hours. If you would rather hire a local plumber, expect 500 to 1,000 dollars for the install. We walk both DIYers and plumbers through programming and start-up by phone at no charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this system NSF certified?\u003c\/strong\u003e The arsenic-selective resin is WQA Gold Seal certified for potable water contact, which is the certification specifically issued for arsenic-selective ion exchange media.
