Arsenic Removal Water Filters Aerus AR100

The AR100 is a specialized whole-house arsenic removal system designed to protect homes on private well water from dangerous levels of naturally occurring arsenic. Arsenic is a tasteless, odorless, colorless toxin that can leach into groundwater from certain bedrock formations, making it a silent threat in many rural or semi-rural areas.

Why Arsenic in Well Water Is a Serious Concern

Private wells are not regulated like municipal water, so homeowners are responsible for testing and treatment. Areas with granite or sedimentary rock often have elevated arsenic (common in parts of the Northeast, Southwest, Midwest, and West Coast). Long-term exposure, even at low levels above the EPA's 10 ppb limit, is linked to:

• Increased risk of skin, bladder, lung, and other cancers

• Cardiovascular disease and heart damage

• Skin lesions, darkening, or warts

• Developmental issues in children

• How the AR100 Removes Arsenic

  It uses adsorptive media (like iron-based or alumina-based resin) that selectively binds arsenic (both As(III) and As(V) forms) as water passes through the tank. The media irreversibly captures the arsenic, producing safe water downstream. The system includes automatic backwashing to flush out any trapped sediments, extending media life.

• Key Features & Benefits

  • Whole-House Protection → Treats water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry—removing arsenic exposure from all taps.

  • Low Maintenance → Electronic valve handles periodic backwashing; media lasts several years (depending on arsenic levels and usage) before replacement.

  • No Chemicals Added → Safe, effective reduction to below EPA standards.

  • Peace of Mind → Especially critical for families with children or long-term residents

  • Strongly Recommended If:

    • You have a private well

    • A water test shows arsenic above 5–10 ppb (even low levels add up over time)

    • You live in a known high-arsenic area
