| Abstract |
This fact sheet is concerned with drinking water submersible well pumps. Some submersible well pumps are made of stainless steel and plastic components but the majority are constructed with brass fittings contained in a cast brass housing. While the plastic and stainless pumps do not pose a problem with lead leaching, EPA is concerned for residents of homes and other buildings with submersible well pumps made with brass fittings, because the brass alloys used in such pumps contain lead. These pumps have the potential to leach high levels of lead into drinking water, especially if the water is soft and corrosive. |
