Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine Dioxide filter.
Chlorine dioxide is a powerful disinfectant sometimes used in water systems to control microbes. At noticeable levels it can give tap and shower water a chemical taste or sharp odor, and some Ashville homeowners mention drier-feeling skin or hair after bathing when the water smells oxidizing. If your household water suddenly seems harsher than usual, chlorine dioxide is one possible cause to investigate.
Because chlorine dioxide reacts as it disinfects, it can create related byproducts that affect taste and smell even when the water looks clear, and those effects can be stronger in hot water or after water sits in pipes. If you rely on bottled water for drinking but still notice odors around your Ashville home — in the shower or laundry, for example — treating water where it enters the house will address the problem at every faucet and fixture.
To reduce chlorine dioxide through your entire house, a whole-house catalytic carbon filter is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Catalytic carbon media is designed to perform better against oxidizing disinfectants and will improve taste and odor when installed at the point where water enters your Ashville home. It delivers treated water to every sink and shower without changing how you use water day to day.
A correctly sized catalytic carbon system emphasizes contact time and media capacity to provide consistent reduction of chlorine dioxide, avoiding the inconvenience of multiple under-sink units or pitchers that don’t treat showers and laundry. Mr. Pure Water can help Ashville homeowners select a whole-house catalytic carbon filter that matches their home’s flow rate and usage patterns, and we can arrange a water test if you’d like confirmation before installing equipment.
