Why Water Filtration Matters
Poor water quality doesn’t just affect taste—it can lead to health issues, plumbing damage, and appliance failure. Common water contaminants in Central Iowa include:
Lead – often from aging pipes or solder
Iron & Manganese – cause staining and metallic taste
Chlorine – added for disinfection, but affects taste and odor
Nitrates – common in rural areas due to agricultural runoff
Hard Water Minerals – like calcium and magnesium, cause buildup
Our water filtration systems are designed to target these specific contaminants and give you long-term protection and peace of mind.
The Hidden Danger of Lead Pipes
If your home was built before the 1980s, there's a chance your plumbing includes lead pipes or lead-based solder. Over time, these materials can leach lead into your drinking water—posing serious health risks.
Why is lead dangerous?
At Advanced Plumbing, we help identify lead pipes and offer replacement solutions paired with advanced filtration systems that remove lead and other heavy metals from your water supply.
Water Quality & Filtration
In the past, the only choice to treat these concerns was TWO large tanks – a stand-up carbon filter combined with a softener. These systems were large, inefficient, needed programming, and could waste as much as 500 gallons of water every month!
Thanks to the latest technology, ONE system can efficiently and effectively treat all three concerns without wasting gallons upon gallons of water monthly.
