Default whole house cartridge water filtration systems

I was considering purchasing this product:

It claims to be a 7 stage filter (kdf, ion exchange resin, carbon,
etc.).


Do cartridge filters like this reduce lead? Even a 50% reduction would
be enough for me.

Does the price seem too low to be realistic or useful?


The material says that it does reduce lead. For the price, i think
it is worth a try. the simple whole house filter I installed for my
house cost about 1/3 that price so it sounds about right.

The real cost is in the replacement filters. I have found that the
more effective the filter the more often it has to be replaced
sometimes as often as monthly which can add up.
