Hexavalent chromium six filter?

[notslow]

Hi everyone, I thought this would be the right place to ask. I've read studies that seem to show chromium six is more dangerous in aerosolized forum (I'm thinking steamy shower). I've tried finding a whole house filter that can remove it, but I can't find any filter that is rated to remove or reduce it beside RO. Those seem impractical for large volume.
Is there any filter that can remove or reduce hex six chromium from shower water?

Yes, that's the stuff. Levels are around 30ppm according to the water companies 2019 test results. My result at the faucet was 22ppm with a Hanna tester. Even if I can't completely remove it completely, I'd like to reduce it if possible.

I really don't want to use RO, pipes are copper and I hate the taste. Our water is good except for the hex chromium and these levels are probably safe in liquid form, but studies suggest it is more dangerous in aerosolized form. Maybe there is a whole house filter I could plumb in for the shower to reduce it just there.

I've done a lot of searching and most filter companies don't claim to remove it or reduce it. Only RO systems claim removal. Can filters really not remove any of this?

Water softener won't remove chrome 6.

Thanks for the link. I'm not sure about this company. Their filters are very expensive and they don't offer any large format filters. Those tiny inline shower filters couldn't last long.

If there is a media that can filter Chromium 6, someone must be selling a large format filter that won't clog in a week.
