Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine Dioxide filter.
Chlorine dioxide is a powerful disinfectant sometimes used to control microbes in water systems. When levels are higher than homeowners prefer, you may notice a chemical taste or an oxidizing odor at the tap or in the shower—things Hanson residents often point out when water feels different. Some people also report drier skin or hair after bathing when that smell is present. If your household water suddenly seems harsher than usual, chlorine dioxide is one of the possible causes worth investigating.
Because chlorine dioxide reacts in the distribution system, it can form byproducts that affect taste and smell even when the water appears clear. Those odors are often more obvious in hot water or after water has sat in pipes, which means the nuisance can show up in showers, laundry and during cooking. If you rely on bottled water for drinking but still notice an unpleasant smell or taste throughout the house, treating water where it enters your Hanson home will address the whole-house issues rather than just one faucet.
To reduce chlorine dioxide throughout the entire house, a whole-house catalytic carbon filter is generally the single most effective choice. Catalytic carbon media is designed to perform better with oxidizing disinfectants and is widely used to improve taste and odor caused by those compounds. Installed at the point of entry, this system treats every fixture in your Hanson home so showers, laundry and cooking water smell and taste cleaner without changing your daily routines.
A correctly sized catalytic carbon system emphasizes adequate contact time and enough media capacity—both important for steady chlorine dioxide reduction. That approach avoids juggling multiple under-sink units or pitchers that don’t help with showers and clothes washing. Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house catalytic carbon filter matched to your Hanson home’s flow rate and household water use. If you prefer confirmation first, we can arrange a water test to see whether chlorine dioxide or related compounds are likely causing the issues you’re experiencing.
