Lead in Water! Need help.

[zdanman]

Tested the cold water (well water). NO Lead (0.00 ppm/L).
Tested the hot water. Found Lead (1.00 ppm/L).
Replaced the hot water with brand new one and replaced the shower head.
Tested the hot water again. STILL found Lead (1.00 ppm/L).

I'm stumped!!!

Thanks for any advice!

So, you found 1 part per million on a lead test? I would flush the system and retest.

its the shower head. i tested the hot water with the showerhead off and there is ZERO lead. it was a brand new Delta shower head. Im taking it back and getting a plastic one.

I don't think showering with 1ppm will hurt much.
