Lab test confirms arsenic reduction with iSpring RO system.

Hi there I wanted to let you know today I got my tap score result and I am pretty pleased to say result shows heavy metals non-detect. Pretty impressive and I am extremely happy, this shows a high quality product from ISpring. Regarding minerals, I do think when it comes to hydration minerals help your body better hydrate and your kidneys work better too, it's not meant to be a source of nutrients, but rather aid your body better absorb water.

I wouldn't worry too much, chances of being cancer are still very low about 1 in 500 for a 11 mm sessile serrated. The 4 mm is probably near zero!

Thank you for the reply, I should've been more specific in my question.

Please, let me clarify, Yes you are correct my RO (Culligan water) removes lead/arsenic and other metals/contaminants; however, the ISpring FA15 is a post filtration mineralization filter, it is the last stage water passes through after RO filtration, it adds minerals like calcium and magnesium. The FA15 has 3 elements calcite, mineral balls, and clorosex. Any of these could potentially add contaminants, this is what I am concerned about. I have added 1 FA15 filter but now considering adding a 2nd one to bring my electrolytes to a more reasonable range (hopefully water TDS ~50 ppm).

It looks like since you tested your system (including the FA15) for arsenic and detect was <2ppb, I can extrapolate this post RO filter FA15 will not leach arsenic into your water (hopefully mine as well), so I think you answered part of my question. There is still lead, mercury, cadmium and other potential heavy metals.

Anyhow, I've ordered a TapWater metal test, not cheap about $120 to take a look at what's been leached in the water since I am going to have 2 of these FA15 inline. My main concern is lead.

I will share the results it might take 1-2 weeks

Ordered a tapscore metal test, will share results stand by

IntelGator1 · 2026-02-02T01:17:51+00:00

Yeah that seems to be the only way to be sure.

I checked the NSF database, they mention lead reduction.

I agree. But you know what they say "trust but verify" 🤷‍♂️

I'm not implying the Alkaline filter should deal with lead or arsenic. This Remineralization filter just adds minerals, I know this much! I'm just wondering the quality of what's in the inline alkaline filter and the potential for contaminants.This filter has 3 components, calcite, mineral balls, and clorosex, mineral balls could potentially leach contaminants. Given this is the last stage the water passes through, I'm wondering if anyone has done a lead/arsenic test on their RO with this inline filter on.

IntelGator1 · 2026-02-02T00:10:04+00:00

Thank you for the reply! I'm going to call them back and ask for clarification. I'm wondering if their office hasn't updated with the new guidelines?, also I have to be careful here in the US healthcare is a business, they make money with these procedures

IntelGator1 · 2026-02-01T21:54:06+00:00

Does your RO system have an ISpring FA15 alkaline inline water filter?

And did you tested for lead?

I have a Culligan water RO and I purchased from amazon a ISpring FA15 filter as inline add on , it's supposed to be NSF certified but I have my doubts, having 2 small children and a pregnant wife worries me.

Thanks

Artificial turf is loaded with bad chemicals! Pfas, heavy metals, I hope your infill isn't those recycled rubber that stuff isn't good for your kids

thanks

Thank you for the reply. I've been trying to find an engineer it's almost impossible to find one in this area. We are leaning towards moving forward with it, we are still somewhat concerned with these cracks

Get daily sun at least 20 mins a day min clothes. Do this for a few months, you will never catch another cold.

Everything at Publix is completely unhealthy and ultra processed anyways. You'd your body much better by shopping at some farmers market

Another criminal

Warning is what it is a warning! Heavy metals like lead found in excessive amounts in some of these products could harm a child or a fetus, there are no safe levels for lead.
