Including filter system and high-performance Chloride filter.
Chloride is a naturally occurring ion that shows up in many water sources and can also enter drinking water from road salts, water softener discharge, or industrial inputs. At home, the most obvious sign of elevated chloride is a salty or brackish flavor in cold tap water. While chloride isn’t a microorganism, its presence points to higher dissolved salts overall — something Franklin Park homeowners, especially those on private wells or in coastal-influenced parts of South Florida, often monitor given local variations in source water and plumbing conditions.
Besides altering taste, chloride can accelerate corrosion in certain plumbing materials when paired with factors like pH and total dissolved solids, leading over time to pinhole leaks, staining, or shorter appliance life. Because chloride is dissolved, it won’t be captured by basic sediment or many “taste and odor” cartridges. The best first step for Franklin Park residences is a proper water test to determine if chloride is elevated and to guide the most suitable treatment for your particular supply and household plumbing.
For reducing chloride in household water, reverse osmosis (RO) is the single-filter option most capable of removing dissolved ions rather than just particles. An RO membrane provides a fine barrier that can significantly lower chloride and other dissolved salts that cause a salty taste, which is why it’s recommended when the aim is to reduce total dissolved solids rather than merely improve smell. In many Franklin Park homes, RO is installed at the point of use for drinking and cooking because whole-house RO requires greater flow capacity and storage to meet all household demands.
When planning a whole-house approach in Franklin Park, match the system to your measured chloride level and household water needs: whole-house RO systems can be built to serve an entire home but typically need prefiltration to protect the membrane and a storage tank to handle peak demand. Keep in mind a conventional water softener treats hardness but does not remove chloride and can increase sodium and chloride in its discharge. Mr. Pure Water can help identify the source of salty taste in your Franklin Park home and design a whole-house RO layout sized and configured for your situation.
