yes, the Brita can eliminate better than 98% of lead

some of the Culligan faucet filters may even do a better job

you can help these filters do an even better job yet, by running the tap for
2 full minutes each morning before drawing any water into the filter

also run them for at least two minutes any other time that you have not used
the water for several hours, such as returning from a vacation, or when you
get home from work if you live alone and no one has been using the water all
day

the water leeches the lead from the "main to house" link over time, so the
less time the water has been sitting in the lead pipes, the less lead will
have to be removed, and the better job the Brita or Culligan can do

I use a Culligan FM-4 faucet filter

also, do not use hot water for drinking or cooking, if a recipe needs hot
water, draw some cold, filter it, then microwave

also, do not use hot water in Brita or Culligan or other filter, will
promote bacteria growth

Will a Brita filter filter out lead from water due to lead pipes in my
house. Actually I have lead pipes coming in from the water main into the
house so that is the main concern.
