The WGB32B-PB whole house water filter is an ideal "point of entry" filtration system for cleaning up well water. Unlike "point of use" RO systems that are installed to supply water to a specific faucet, the WGB32B-PB filters water from the source. This means water from every output will have passed through the three filtration stages. The stage 1 housing holds a 5-micron high-capacity polypropylene sediment filter. It removes dirt and other larger sized particles from the water. The second stage houses a 5-micron CTO coconut shell carbon block filter. Block carbon is more effective than other forms of carbon in that it is finely ground up carbon packed into a solidified block. This means they have a higher density than other types of carbon filters, and are therefore more effective in removing their targeted contaminants. The carbon block filter knocks out bad tastes and odors, removes over 90% of chlorine, and is highly effective on chemicals like pesticides, herbicides, and industrial chemicals. The third stage houses an iron and lead reducing filter. It reduces filter removes potassium, cesium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, radium, chrome, manganese, iron, nickel, copper, silver, zinc, cadmium, mercury, aluminum, tin, and lead.
