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 higher than desired, it can leave a clear chemical taste and an oxidizing odor at the tap and in the shower. Betts homeowners may notice drier-feeling hair or skin after bathing or a persistent smell in hot water—signs that chlorine dioxide or its smell may be contributing to the issue. If your household water suddenly seems harsher than usual, it’s worth considering chlorine dioxide as one possible cause.
Because chlorine dioxide reacts in water, it can form related byproducts that affect taste and odor even when the water appears clear. Those off-odors are often more noticeable in hot water or after water sits in pipes, which makes them obvious in showers and hot taps around Betts. If you’re already using bottled water for drinking but still detect an odor in the rest of the house, treating water at the point of entry treats cooking, bathing, laundry and cleaning water and delivers a more consistent improvement throughout your home.
To reduce chlorine dioxide throughout a whole house, a catalytic carbon whole-house filter is generally the single most effective option. Carbon-based media is commonly used to cut disinfectants and the tastes and smells they cause, and catalytic carbon is designed to work better against certain oxidizing compounds. Installed where water enters your Betts home, this type of system treats every faucet and fixture without changing your daily water use, leaving water that smells and tastes cleaner across the entire house.
A correctly sized catalytic carbon system focuses on sufficient contact time and media capacity to maintain reliable chlorine dioxide reduction, and it avoids the burden of multiple under-sink units or pitchers that don’t help showers and laundry. At Mr. Pure Water we can help Betts homeowners select a whole-house catalytic carbon filter matched to your home’s flow rate and typical water use. If you’d like confirmation before installing equipment, we can arrange a water test to see whether chlorine dioxide is likely contributing to the issues you’re noticing.
