Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a Lead and Heavy Metal Reduction System?
A lead and heavy metal reduction system is a whole-house filtration setup designed to help reduce:
Lead that may come from service lines, older plumbing, or fixtures
Certain other metals (depending on media and certification), such as particulate-bound contaminants
These systems commonly use:
Specialty media or cartridges certified for lead reduction
Pre-filtration stages (sediment, sometimes carbon) to protect the lead-reduction media
Proper flow control and sizing to keep water in contact with the media long enough for effective treatment
The goal is to treat water at the main line, so every tap benefits—including showers, sinks, and laundry—while often pairing with dedicated drinking-water systems (like RO) for an extra level of protection at key locations.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Plumbing + treatment perspective: We look at pipe materials, service lines, and treatment together—not just filters.
Test-driven recommendations: We base system suggestions on water testing and certifications, not guesses.
Whole-house integration: We can combine lead/metal reduction with softeners, RO, and other filtration where appropriate.
Code-compliant installs: Proper tie-ins, bypass valves, and service access installed by licensed plumbers.
Straightforward guidance: We explain what the system is designed to do, what it doesn’t cover, and how it fits with drinking-water options.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
If you haven’t already, consider getting your water tested for lead and metals from a qualified lab.
Gather any existing lab reports, city water quality reports, or inspection notes you already have.
Note whether you live in an older home that may have older plumbing or service lines.
Decide if you want whole-home reduction, drinking-only, or both.
Take a few photos of your main water line and water heater area.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask about lead and heavy metal reduction system installation; tell us what testing you have and your main concerns (kids, older plumbing, etc.).
Common Situations Where Lead & Metal Reduction Makes Sense
Whole-house lead and heavy metal reduction is especially worth considering when:
You live in an older home or area where legacy plumbing or service lines are a concern.
You’ve had water test results showing lead or elevated metals.
You want extra peace of mind for kids, pregnant family members, or sensitive individuals.
You don’t want to rely solely on small faucet filters, pitchers, or fridge filters.
You’re already investing in whole-house filtration and want to include targeted metal reduction.
(Lead and metal concerns should always be guided by proper water testing and professional advice. This page is informational and not medical or regulatory advice.)
Water Testing & Plumbing Review
We review existing water test results (or discuss testing options), look at age and type of plumbing, and evaluate the main water entry and distribution to understand your risk profile and options.
Treatment Strategy & System Selection
Based on your water data and goals, we recommend an appropriate lead/metal reduction system—often combining sediment pre-filtration, specialty media, and optional carbon—and explain certifications and what the system is designed to address.
Plumbing Tie-In & Bypass Setup
We shut off the water, tie into the main cold-water line, and install a bypass/isolation assembly so the system can be serviced, tested, or bypassed without shutting off water to the entire home.
Filter Housing / Media Tank Installation
We mount filter housings or media tanks, connect inlet and outlet plumbing, and ensure the layout is secure, accessible, and clearly oriented for flow direction. If part of a larger system, we sequence stages in the correct order.
Startup, Flushing & System Verification
We flush new media and cartridges, bring the system online, check for proper pressure and leak-free connections, and verify that flow and staging match the design and manufacturer’s guidelines.
Homeowner Walkthrough, Testing Plan & Maintenance Overview
We explain what the system targets, how to bypass it, and when to replace cartridges/media, and we discuss ongoing testing recommendations if lead or metals were previously detected.
What’s Included
Costs and timing are influenced by:
System type: Cartridge-based vs larger tank/media-based systems.
Water quality and goals: The number of stages needed and whether you’re combining with other filtration or softening.
Location and access: Straightforward garage or side-yard install vs tight or complex mechanical areas.
Whether you also want under-sink RO or point-of-use systems for specific taps.
We’ll provide a clear written estimate outlining equipment, labor, and any optional additional stages or services, along with expected installation timing.

Insurance & Claims Help
Lead and heavy metal reduction systems are preventive upgrades, not usually covered directly by insurance—but water treatment and plumbing components can be involved in leaks or property damage if they fail.
If a water-related incident arises, we can:
Identify and document which plumbing component or connection was involved.
Provide itemized invoices and estimates for any repairs, replacements, or upgrades.
Answer plumbing-related questions from your adjuster, property manager, or restoration contractor if a claim is opened.
Your insurance company and policy always decide coverage; our role is to provide clear, factual plumbing documentation.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Lead and heavy metal reduction systems are powerful tools, but:
They must be properly selected and certified, based on water testing and target contaminants.
They do not replace all water treatment—you may still need softening, sediment filtration, or RO depending on your concerns.
Cartridges and media must be replaced on schedule; exhausted media won’t provide the same reduction.
For some situations, point-of-use treatment (like RO at the kitchen sink) is recommended in addition to whole-house systems.
This is not a substitute for professional health, legal, or regulatory advice on lead; it’s a plumbing-based mitigation tool.
We’ll be honest about where whole-house treatment fits, and when extra steps (like point-of-use RO and ongoing testing) are a smart addition.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Code-compliant plumbing: All connections are installed to Nevada plumbing code and manufacturer specifications.
Certified components: We recommend systems that use media or cartridges designed and tested for lead and heavy metal reduction, where applicable.
Serviceable layout: Equipment is installed for easy access to cartridges/media, clear labeling, and straightforward bypass operation.
Clear communication: We explain what the system is designed to address, how to maintain it, and how it works with your overall water plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a water test before installing a lead/metal reduction system?
It’s strongly recommended. Proper testing helps ensure the system is appropriate, sized correctly, and targeted to your actual water conditions.
Will this remove all lead from my water?
Systems are designed to help reduce lead and certain metals, often with specific certifications. No system can guarantee “zero” under all conditions; proper selection, installation, maintenance, and testing are essential.
Does this replace the need for RO at the kitchen sink?
Not necessarily. Many homeowners combine whole-house reduction with RO at key taps for an added layer of protection where most drinking water comes from.
Will this change the taste of my water?
If combined with carbon and other filtration stages, many people notice better-tasting, clearer water. The main goal, however, is contaminant reduction, not flavor alone.
How often will I need to change filters or media?
It depends on system type, water quality, and usage. We’ll provide a recommended schedule and can help with ongoing maintenance if you want.
