Turner Mechanical Engineering is the exclusive manufacturer of the original Proteus® System, a simple water treatment device with amazing results. Originally designed in the 1960's to inhibit corrosion in steel plumbing, the Proteus® also stops lead from precipitating out of plumbing, and into the water.

Although lead has long been recognized as poisonous at high dosages, recent studies have shown it is damaging at lower levels than previously believed. As a result, lead exposure levels considered acceptable have been lowered.  While some effects of lead poisoning may diminish if exposure is reduced, others are irreversible.  An amount of lead which would have little effect on an adult can greatly effect a child.  Also, growing children more rapidly absorb any lead consumed.  A child's mental and physical development can be irreversibly stunted by lead.

Why spend tens of thousands of dollars or more to replace your worn, but functional, plumbing system?  Our solution not only remedies lead in water from your plumbing system, it captures lead entering your facility from outside water sources.  Neither lead or electrolytic corrosion is an issue with the patented Proteus® System.

For plumbing that was installed, or permitted for building prior to 1987,
the solder joints most likely contain lead!
