Contaminant Guide
Lead in Your Drinking Water
Lead has no safe level of exposure, especially for children under 6. Homes built before 1986 across SC and NC are at greatest risk from lead pipes and solder.
Key Facts
- • The EPA action level for lead is 15 ppb
- • The CDC states that no safe blood lead level in children has been identified
- • Lead typically enters water through plumbing rather than the source water
- • Pre-1986 homes are at higher risk, as lead solder was permitted before then
- • Lead cannot be detected by taste, color, or odor — testing is required
The Solution
Point-of-use reverse osmosis systems and filters using lead-reduction media are commonly used to address lead at the tap. ClearFlow installs systems whose lead-reduction performance and certifications are published by the manufacturer.

Lead doesn't typically come from the water source — it leaches from lead service lines, lead solder in plumbing joints, and brass fixtures. Homes built before 1986 are at highest risk.
