Lead in Your Water? Here’s What You Need to Know
Many Indianapolis residents have received notices about potential lead in their water supply—Cooper’s Water is here to help you understand what it means and what to do next.
How Lead Affects You
Lead exposure is most dangerous when consumed or inhaled, especially by children and those with sensitive immune systems. It can enter the body by:
- Drinking contaminated tap water
- Cooking with water that contains lead
- Inhaling steam from hot showers (especially in small children)
- Absorption through the skin in areas with abrasions
Even small amounts of lead can accumulate in the body over time and contribute to serious health risks.
The Smart Solution: Reverse Osmosis
The most effective and affordable solution for removing lead from your drinking water is Reverse Osmosis (RO). Reverse osmosis removes 96-98% of lead, along with over 40 other common contaminants. It’s the best choice for safe, great-tasting water—without needing to re-pipe your home.
RO is ideal for protecting the water you drink, cook with, and make ice from. It’s compact, efficient, and fits neatly under your kitchen sink.
Don’t Forget System Maintenance
RO systems do require yearly maintenance to continue working properly. Filters need to be replaced annually, and the membrane is typically replaced every 3-5 years. Cooper’s Water offers:
- Annual RO system checkups
- Free testing of total dissolved solids (TDS)
- Filter replacements
- Reminders and support to keep your system effective
We track TDS levels to make sure your system continues providing high-quality water that meets drinking standards (TDS ≤ 50 is considered ideal).
Whole-Home Protection Options
If you’re concerned about all the water in your home—including what you bathe or shower in—we also offer the Encore IonX5 whole-house system, which reduces:
- Lead and other heavy metal
- Chlorine and chloramines
- Other skin-drying and plumbing-damaging contaminants
This solution helps ensure safer water from every tap.
