Brevard's Trusted AC & Plumbing Pros

Heavy Metal Filtration Systems

In many homes across Brevard County, especially in older neighborhoods or areas with well water, the water flowing from the tap may look clean, but it could be hiding something harmful. Heavy metals like lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium can quietly seep into your water supply from aging pipes, soil contamination, or outdated infrastructure. These are not just trace minerals; they are toxic substances that accumulate in your body over time and can pose significant health risks.

At American Air & Plumbing, we believe safe water is not a luxury. It is a basic right. Our heavy metal filtration systems remove dangerous contaminants before they reach your faucet. Whether you rely on municipal water or draw from a private well, we will help ensure your home’s water is clean, safe,
and worry-free.

Schedule your free water test and take the first step toward safer, cleaner water in every room of your home.

What Are Heavy Metals and Why Are They in Your Water?

Heavy metals are naturally occurring elements with high atomic weights and densities. While some are safe in tiny amounts (such as iron or zinc), others are dangerous even in small doses. 

The most concerning for homeowners include:

  • Lead from old pipes, solder, or fixtures
  • Arsenic is naturally present in Florida soil and groundwater
  • Mercury often comes from industrial runoff or environmental pollution
  • Cadmium leached from galvanized pipes and fertilizers
  • Chromium-6, a known carcinogen found in groundwater supplies

These metals can enter your water supply through:

  • Corroding plumbing systems
  • Contaminated groundwater wells
  • Old municipal water lines
  • Industrial or agricultural runoff near your home

Because these contaminants are colorless, odorless, and tasteless, you will not detect them with your senses, but your body will. Long-term exposure can lead to kidney damage, nervous system disorders, developmental delays in children, and other serious health concerns.

Signs Your Water May Be Contaminated

Heavy metal contamination is not always obvious, but there are warning signs you can watch for:

  • Metallic taste or odor in your tap water
  • Discoloration such as yellow, red, or brown staining
  • Sediment or buildup on faucets and fixtures
  • Dry or irritated skin after bathing
  • Unexplained fatigue, rashes, or stomach discomfort
  • Use of private healthy water without recent testing
  • Older plumbing systems installed before 1986

Even if your water meets the minimum safety standards, it may still contain trace metals that accumulate over time. That is why proactive filtration is so important.

What Powers Our Heavy Metal Filtration Systems

Our filtration systems go far beyond basic pitcher filters or water softeners. These advanced systems are explicitly designed to remove harmful heavy metals from your water supply.

We offer a range of technologies, including:

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems

Our reverse osmosis systems push water through a semipermeable membrane that blocks up to 99 percent of contaminants. That includes heavy metals, bacteria, pesticides, and volatile organic compounds. These systems are ideal for drinking water stations and can also be integrated into broader home water solutions.

Whole-Home Filtration Systems

We install filtration systems directly at your main water line. That means every faucet, showerhead, and appliance in your home receives filtered water, not just your kitchen sink. This whole-home protection ensures that even the water you bathe in is free of harmful metals and toxins.

Specialized Well Water Solutions

If your home uses well water, we offer filtration systems that combine semipermeable membranes, activated media, and KDF technology. These systems are tailored to neutralize contaminants commonly found in untreated groundwater.

Free Water Testing and System Matching

Before recommending any system, we start with a free, in-home water quality test. We check for heavy metals, chlorine, pH imbalance, and other factors that affect water safety. Based on your home’s test results, we build a solution that fits your water source, plumbing system, and usage needs no one-size-fits-all filters here.

Our team will test your water, analyze the results, and recommend the right system for your home. Everything is custom, with no guesswork and no generic setups.

Let’s build the perfect system for your home.

Whole-House Filtration Is the Best Choice

You may already use a faucet or fridge filter, but these only protect a small portion of your home. When it comes to heavy metals, partial protection is not enough.

Here’s why a whole-house system is the better investment:

  • Every tap is safe to use, including showers, laundry, and outdoor hoses
  • No more dry skin or hair issues from bathing in contaminated water
  • Appliances last longer with fewer mineral deposits or corrosion
  • You avoid scale and buildup that can clog pipes and damage plumbing
  • Your entire family benefits from consistent, safe, and great-tasting water

With one installation, you can eliminate the risk across your entire home and stop worrying about which tap is safe to drink from.
