Reddit reviews 2 Pack Long Last Replacement Filters for Brita Water Pitchers

Before the hysteria kicks in

95% of all the waterlines in the city of Regina are non-lead. Majority of those pipes are PVC with maybe a few lines downtown still being clay tile but they are also being replaced with new PVC.

What the news articles are missing is that majority of the lead pipes in the city are individual services running from the water curb box in your front yard to your house. This is not a City issue. This is an individual homeowner issue.

Do you think the you may have a lead service running into your house? Then here are some questions to ask yourself:

1. Have you had your sewer service replaced recently? If so then you could have also had your water service updated already.
   
2. Is your house older than 1960? You may have a lead service but then again read #1 again. You have most likely had to replace your sewer service already and had your waterline replaced. Thank you elm trees
   
3. If you are still concerned then get your water tested. City will do it for free but there will be a long wait list now.
   
4. Do you want to pay out of pocket for the testing? You can go to places that sell reverse osmosis systems and they can test your water. Remember they are salesmen and want to generate business. Another option is to talk to Sequoia Environmental Engineering or environmental and testing engineering companies.
   
5. Still concerned and can't wait for the City or other companies to test your water then purchase a reverse osmosis system ~$1,000 a few years ago or buy a Brita Longlast Filter. A Brita will remove 90% 99.5% of all lead from your water. Here is the data sheet on the Longlast Filter
   
6. Home testing you can do yourselfhttps://www.regina.ca/home-property/water/water/lead-service-connections/
   
   The City of Regina water from the distribution system is safe to drink. It maybe your water service that is the problem
