Chlorinated Phenols in Tang O Mar Beach Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Chlorinated Phenols in the Water Supply of Tang O Mar Beach Florida Homes

Chlorinated phenols are a group of compounds that can create a medicinal, plastic-like or antiseptic taste and smell in drinking water even at very low concentrations. They can form when phenolic substances react with chlorine used in treatment or come from certain industrial sources, and that odor or taste can travel through your plumbing so it’s noticeable in drinking water, showers, and in cooking. In Tang O Mar Beach many homeowners prefer a whole-house solution rather than relying on bottled water or a single under-sink filter so the problem is addressed at every tap.

Although often thought of as a taste-and-odor complaint, chlorinated phenols are something many homeowners want to reduce everywhere in the house. They can make clear water taste off and affect coffee, ice, and foods prepared with tap water. If you notice a persistent chemical or medicinal note in Tang O Mar Beach water, consider professional testing to identify the cause and exclude other common odors; from there a treatment plan can be designed to target chlorinated phenols and raise overall water quality throughout your home.
