Looked around for a well water filter to eliminate low levels of arsenic with no luck, anyone here have any ideas to filter this?

I read in another thread that person was using a reverse osmosis in his home and was looking for suggestions for watering plants.

Since this is in home care I assume you want something for inside the home.

Have you look in the reverse osmosis filter system?  That is what we use since our water is alkaline.

It looks like a reverse osmosis system or one of the commercial absorption systems are what are readily available.

I did find a link to some research using an absorption layer in a sand filter that looked interesting. I only skimmed the beginning though. https://iwaponline.com/washdev/article/15/8/652/108796/A-review-on-the-application-of-bio-sand-filters
