Yeah, our filters filter for taste and particles. I was misremembering what they did.

The pipes in our neighborhood were replaced about 5 years ago, and our property's pipes are rusty galvanized pipes, so we get a lot of iron in our diet.

Friends of ours on capitol hill had a solid lead supply pipe from the street to their house. They had it removed before their first child was born, but the lead in their water is still really high.
