Chlorinated Phenols in Golf Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Chlorinated Phenols in the Water Supply of Golf Florida Homes

Chlorinated phenols are a group of compounds that can impart a medicinal, plastic-like or antiseptic taste and odor to drinking water even at very low concentrations. They can form when phenolic substances react with the chlorine used in municipal treatment or enter supply lines from certain industrial sources. Because those tastes and smells travel through your plumbing, Golf homeowners may notice them at the kitchen tap, in the shower, or when cooking — prompting many to seek a whole-house solution rather than relying on bottled water or a point-of-use filter.

Beyond being unpleasant, chlorinated phenols are something many homeowners prefer not to have in any faucet, since they can affect coffee, ice and foods prepared with municipal water. If you in Golf detect a persistent chemical or medicinal note, professional water testing can identify whether chlorinated phenols or another cause is responsible and guide the right action. With clear results, a targeted treatment plan can reduce those compounds throughout your house so water used for drinking, cooking and bathing is more enjoyable.
