The hidden danger of lead in old pipes.

In Germany, drinking water quality is generally high, but in some older buildings there is still a risk of lead contamination in the water. Lead, a heavy metal, can have serious health consequences, especially for children and pregnant women, as it can affect the nervous system.

Lead in drinking water is often caused by old lead pipes, which are mainly found in buildings built before the 1970s. Although the concentration of lead is usually below the legal limits, even small amounts can be harmful to health over long periods of time.

This is where the filbec® nanocarbon filter offers an innovative solution. The filbec® filter uses advanced filtration technology to remove lead and other pollutants such as copper, mercury, arsenic, nickel, aluminum and cadmium from the water. In addition to heavy metals, it also filters pesticides, chlorine and its compounds, drug residues, microplastics, bacteria and cysts from the water. This not only makes drinking water safer, but also improves its taste.

It is important to be aware of the potential risks and take preventative measures to safeguard the water quality in your home. The filbec® filter is an effective and reliable option for this.
