Water Filtration - Contaminants in Water

Uranium Removal

How Much is too Much?
You will need to have your water tested and the result tell you how much uranium is in your water.
The amount is measured in micrograms per liter (or ug/l) so  compare your numbers to these below:

Above 30 micrograms per liter …. you need to act!
Switch to bottled water. Check out treatment systems.

From 20 to 30 micrograms per liter …  use less tap water for drinking and beverages.

Below 20 micrograms per liter …. there is no need to act.

If you have a problem …  Talk to a few water treatment companies to choose a uranium removal system. How to treat depends on what else is in your water and how much water you need to treat.

Granular activated carbon can remove uranium effectively at controlled pHs and for limited duration.

Activated alumina is a good choice and is available from us as our optional Fluoride Filter.
