Pioneer removes Lead, which is a colorless, odorless & tasteless metal. In addition to Lead, the patented Pioneer filtration system removes >99.95% of Giardia & Crypto, as well as Chlorine & Chloramine. WHOLE-HOUSE LEAD, CYST & PFOA/PFOS REMOVAL SYSTEM How Lead Gets into Drinking Water – Lead can enter drinking water when service lines that contain lead corrode, especially where the water has high acidity or low mineral content that corrodes pipes and fixtures, most often from the pipes that carry water from the water treatment plant to water mains under the street supplying homes. Lead release is heavily influenced by the chemistry of the water delivered by the water system and by physical disturbances such as road construction or water main replacements. The Solution – Soluble lead is invisible, odorless, tasteless, and needs to be chemically removed from water. Particulate lead is like a tiny grain of sand that needs to be physically removed from water. PIONEER POE filtration system houses a strategically designed nominal 0.5-micron filter to remove BOTH (soluble and particulate) forms of lead contamination from the whole house in a single filter. The PIONEER Binder is designed to chemically react with soluble lead to create an ionic bond, kinetically removing lead from the water and producing clean water. *The PIONEER™ POE filter has been tested for use at standard and peak flow rates for BOTH forms of lead. The Water Quality Platinum Seal and UPC shield demonstrate the certification by IAPMO R&T.
