Including filter system and high-performance Chloramine filter.
Chloramine is a disinfectant many water systems use to keep water protected as it moves through distribution lines; you may also see it called chloramines because it can occur in more than one form. While it helps maintain disinfection, it can leave a faint chemical taste or smell and is often tougher to remove than free chlorine. In Century homes homeowners commonly notice its presence when drinking, showering, or doing laundry.
Chloramine exists in several chemical forms — monochloramine, dichloramine, and trichloramine — and shifts among these can affect odor and how water feels on skin and hair. That can make routine things like making coffee, brushing teeth, or bathing feel less pleasant for some people in Century. Treating water at the point it enters your house is an effective way to lift water quality across every faucet and appliance.
For a single-tank option that treats all indoor water, a whole-house catalytic carbon filter is generally the best single-filter choice for chloramine reduction. Catalytic carbon is engineered to break down chloramine more effectively than standard activated carbon, so it performs well when utilities use a stable disinfectant residual. Installed as one media bed, it treats water used for cooking, bathing, laundry, and drinking throughout your Century home.
A correctly sized catalytic carbon system gives the contact time needed for chloramine conversion and adsorption as water flows through your plumbing, helping improve taste and odor while reducing disinfectant byproducts that cause that “treated” water character. Because monochloramine, dichloramine, and trichloramine behave differently, matching system size and flow rate to your household’s usage is important. Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house catalytic carbon configuration tailored to Century homes and your specific plumbing layout.
