Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine Dioxide filter.
Chlorine dioxide is a powerful disinfectant sometimes used in water systems to control microbes. When levels are noticeable, you might detect a chemical taste or an oxidizing odor coming from faucets and the shower in your Bascom home. Homeowners also sometimes report hair or skin feeling drier after bathing when that chemical smell is present. If your water feels harsher than normal, chlorine dioxide is one of the likely culprits to consider.
Because chlorine dioxide reacts in the distribution system, it can form related byproducts that affect taste and smell even when the water looks clear. Those odors tend to be stronger in hot water or after water has sat in pipes for a while. If you’re using bottled water for drinking but still notice the smell throughout your Bascom house—in the shower or laundry—treating the water at the point of entry makes a bigger difference than point-of-use fixtures. A whole-house system improves water used for cooking, bathing and cleaning across the home.
To reduce chlorine dioxide throughout the entire house, a whole-house catalytic carbon filter is generally the single most effective filter type. Carbon media is commonly used to reduce disinfectants and the tastes and odors they cause, and catalytic carbon is tailored to handle certain oxidizing compounds more effectively. Installed at the main water entry, it treats every faucet and fixture so your Bascom household enjoys cleaner-tasting, better-smelling water without changing daily routines.
A correctly sized catalytic carbon system emphasizes sufficient contact time and media capacity to consistently reduce chlorine dioxide and its byproducts. It also spares you the upkeep of multiple under-sink units or pitchers that don’t address showers and laundry. Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house catalytic carbon filter for your Bascom home’s flow rate and water use. If you’d like confirmation first, we can arrange a water test to see whether chlorine dioxide is likely causing the issues you’re experiencing.
