EPA sets a safe level or Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 0.1 mg/L or 100 parts per billion (ppb). Any concentration over the MCL could cause an allergic dermatitis reaction in some people who drink water contaminated with total chromium over many years. The problem is a higher concentration of this cancer-causing chemical has been found in some major municipal drinking water supplies. A recent laboratory testing by Environmental Working Group (EWG) detected hexavalent chromium (contamination level as high as 12.9 mg/l) in tap water from 31 of 35 American cities. EPA is currently re-evaluating the existing drinking water standards for chromium-6 based on the EWG findings. A good effective chromium filter for your home reduces the level down to a safe and healthy level.

How to Filter Chromium-6 From Drinking Water

EPA recommends that “if a consumer is concerned about chromium in their water, then they can consider installing a home treatment unit that has been certified to remove chromium +6 (hexavalent chromium).” According to the agency, the best and effective methods to filter chromium-6 from drinking water to a safe level include “coagulation/filtration, ion exchange, lime softening, or reverse osmosis.” Multi-Pure has one of the best reverse osmosis systems on the market. And the MultiPure MP750 RO’s unique combination of the NSF-certified carbon block filtration plus reverse osmosis is highly effective in removing up to 99.99% of the cancer-causing hexavalent chromium from drinking water.
