Microplastics & Metals in Lemon Grove, CA.
Microplastics & Metals for Lemon Grove homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. Microplastics have been detected in tap water sources globally, including treated municipal water.

What microplastics & metals looks like in Lemon Grove
Lemon Grove's older housing stock, particularly homes built before 1986, may have plumbing that introduces lead or copper into the water between the main and the tap. Combined with the microplastics and trace metals that travel in the county supply itself, a certified under-sink filter or RO system at the drinking tap provides the most direct protection for drinking and cooking water. The free in-home test identifies your starting point.

Are microplastics in San Diego tap water?
Microplastics have been found in municipal water supplies in numerous studies. San Diego has not published specific tap water microplastic data, but the research suggests treated municipal water broadly contains detectable microplastic particles. The health implications are still being studied. What we can do is install certified filtration that reduces particulate contamination at the tap.
