Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine filter.
Many homeowners in Bascom notice a pool-like smell or lingering aftertaste from chlorine in their tap water. Water systems often add chlorine as a disinfectant to protect water as it travels through distribution lines, and some of that disinfectant can remain in finished water and be noticeable at the faucet. While it helps with treatment, the presence of chlorine can make drinking, cooking, and bathing less pleasant around the house.
You might notice a chlorine taste in cold drinks, ice, or water that's been sitting in pipes, and that same sharp flavor can linger on the tongue. A chlorine odor often becomes more apparent in hot water and steamy showers when the scent is released into the air. Some Bascom homeowners also report skin or hair feeling drier after bathing when disinfectant levels are higher. If you want water that smells and tastes more neutral throughout your Bascom home, cutting chlorine is a common and effective step.
For a single-filter whole-home solution, a tank-style activated carbon system is usually the best choice. Catalytic carbon is especially effective at removing disinfectants and maintains good flow for showers, laundry, and multiple fixtures common in Bascom houses. Unlike small under-sink cartridges, a properly sized whole-house carbon unit treats water as it enters your Bascom plumbing, helping control chlorine taste and chlorine odor at every tap instead of just one sink.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house catalytic carbon filtration to reduce chlorine as water enters Bascom homes, improving taste and smell in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spigots. These systems adsorb chlorine onto the carbon media as water flows through, without adding chemicals. Proper sizing is important for sufficient contact time and consistent flow throughout the day. With the right setup for your Bascom residence, you’ll enjoy more comfortable showers and cleaner-tasting water across the whole house.
