Including filter system and high-performance Chloramine filter.
Many municipal systems use chloramine as a long-lasting disinfectant to protect water while it travels through pipes; you may also see it called chloramines. While it helps keep distribution systems safe, chloramine can leave a faint chemical taste or smell and is often harder to remove than simple chlorine. In Craggs homes, residents most commonly notice this residual when drinking tap water, showering, or doing laundry, where the treated water’s character becomes more apparent.
Chloramine occurs in several chemical forms — monochloramine, dichloramine, and trichloramine — and shifts between those forms can change odor strength and how water feels on skin and hair. Everyday tasks in a Craggs household, like making coffee, brushing teeth, or bathing, can feel less enjoyable when chloramine levels are noticeable. To improve water quality at every faucet, treating incoming water at the point it enters your home is an effective, whole-home strategy.
When a single-filter whole-house option is preferred, catalytic carbon is generally the top choice for reducing chloramine. Unlike standard activated carbon, catalytic carbon is engineered to break down chloramine more efficiently as water passes through the media. Installed as one tank with a primary catalytic carbon bed, this setup treats all the water used in a Craggs residence — for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry — making it well suited for a stable disinfectant like chloramine.
A correctly sized catalytic carbon system provides the contact time needed for chloramine conversion and adsorption as water flows through your home, helping reduce that treated-water taste and odor. Because monochloramine, dichloramine, and trichloramine can behave differently, matching system size and flow rate to your household’s demand is important for steady performance. Mr. Pure Water in Craggs can assess your plumbing and usage to recommend a whole-house catalytic carbon configuration that fits your needs.
