Cost-Effective Chromium Removal from Groundwater
Reliable Chromium Removal for Safer Groundwater
Hexavalent chromium (Cr-6) is a toxic heavy metal that can contaminate groundwater through both natural sources and industrial activity. It’s been linked to serious health risks and is tightly regulated, especially in California. Water utilities with impacted wells must act decisively to ensure regulatory compliance and public health protection.
ATEC Water Systems delivers reliable, affordable filtration systems specifically designed for the removal of chromium from groundwater—backed by field-proven success and engineered for ease of operation.
Why Chromium in Water Is a Public Health Concern
Chromium-6 is a known carcinogen that can seep into groundwater through natural geologic formations or as a result of industrial pollution. Exposure through drinking water has been tied to various long-term health effects. Regulatory pressure is growing, with California already enforcing strict limits, and more states expected to follow.
Whether required by law or driven by community health concerns, the need for efficient chromium treatment is rising fast.
