Bromate in Piedmont Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Bromate in the Water Supply of Piedmont Florida Homes

Bromate is a contaminant that can form during certain water disinfection and treatment methods, most commonly when ozone reacts in water that contains bromide. You won’t be able to see or smell bromate, so it can be present even when tap water looks and tastes normal. In Piedmont and across North Florida, where municipal and private well sources vary, the only reliable way to know what’s in your water is a local water test.

Because bromate is tied to treatment processes rather than your home plumbing, single point-of-use devices may not address exposure from showers, laundry, and other whole-house uses. Many Piedmont homeowners choose whole-house systems so every faucet and appliance receives the same treated water. A single full-home system also reduces the hassle of maintaining multiple filters—Mr. Pure Water can recommend solutions based on whether your supply is municipal or a private well and on your household goals.
