Including filter system and high-performance Chloride filter.
Chloride is a common dissolved ion that shows up in many water sources and can also enter drinking water from road salts, water softener discharge, or industrial runoff. At home you’ll often notice it first as a salty or brackish flavor—especially in cold tap water. While chloride isn’t a microorganism, its presence can signal elevated dissolved salts overall, so Century Village homeowners should be aware of it given Palm Beach County’s typically hard water.
Besides affecting taste, chloride can worsen corrosion in certain pipes and fixtures when other factors like pH and total dissolved solids are present, leading over time to staining, pinhole leaks, or shortened appliance life. Because chloride is dissolved, simple sediment filters and many basic taste-and-odor cartridges won’t remove it. The most reliable way to know if chloride is an issue in your Century Village home is a water test, which guides the right treatment choice.
Reverse osmosis is generally the most effective single-filter option for reducing chloride because RO membranes are built to remove dissolved ions rather than only particles. An RO system can significantly reduce chloride and other dissolved salts that cause a salty taste, which is why it’s often recommended when the goal is lowering total dissolved solids instead of just addressing smell or sediment. Many homeowners install RO at the kitchen for drinking and cooking water, since whole-house RO requires more capacity to meet flow and storage needs.
When considering a whole-house approach in Century Village and the wider Palm Beach County area, match the system to your measured chloride level and household demand. Whole-house RO can be built to serve every tap but normally needs prefiltration to protect the membrane and a storage tank to handle peak use. Remember a water softener reduces hardness common in our area but does not remove chloride and can increase sodium and chloride in discharge. Mr. Pure Water can test your water, identify the source of any salty taste, and design a whole-house RO setup tuned to your needs.
