It usually comes from natural minerals in rock and soil, which is why it shows up most often in groundwater and private wells. Ordinary carbon is not built to hold it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eArsenic reduction media\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eArsenic reduction media give dissolved arsenic a surface that binds it, pulling it out of the water as it passes. Binding takes contact time. A pitcher filters by gravity, so water moves slowly and spends that time with the media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSMART media\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SMART blend handles the rest of the job: copper-zinc redox alloy reduces chlorine through an exchange of electrons, ion exchange resin captures dissolved metals, and activated carbon adsorbs the organic compounds behind off tastes and odors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it reduces\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary target:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eArsenic\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso reduced\u003c\/strong\u003e by the SMART media: chlorine and chloramines and their by-products, inorganic compounds and heavy metals.
