Chlorinated Phenols in South Miami Heights Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Chlorinated Phenols in the Water Supply of South Miami Heights Florida Homes

Chlorinated phenols are a group of compounds that can give water a medicinal, plastic-like, or antiseptic taste and smell even at very low concentrations. They can form when phenolic substances react with chlorine used in treatment, or they may enter the supply from certain industrial sources. Because tastes and odors travel through plumbing, you might notice them in drinking water, while showering, or when cooking in your South Miami Heights home — from Goulds to Leisure City — and many homeowners prefer a whole-home solution instead of relying on bottled water or a single faucet filter.

Beyond being unpleasant, chlorinated phenols can affect everything you make with tap water: coffee, ice, soups and more. South Miami Heights residents who detect a persistent chemical or medicinal note often have their water professionally tested to determine the cause and rule out other common odors. Once testing identifies chlorinated phenols, a targeted treatment plan can address the issue at every faucet across your Miami-Dade County property so water tastes and smells better throughout the house.
