Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine Dioxide filter.
Chlorine dioxide is a powerful disinfectant sometimes used in water systems to control microbes. When it’s present more than desired, you may notice a chemical taste or an oxidizing odor at the tap or in the shower in Lake Placid, and some residents report drier-feeling skin or hair after bathing. In our humid subtropical climate and with generally hard groundwater inland in Highlands County, these impressions can be more apparent—so if your water seems harsher than usual, chlorine dioxide is one of the possibilities to consider.
Because chlorine dioxide is reactive it can produce related byproducts while doing its job in the distribution system; those compounds can change taste and smell even when water looks clear. Hot water and water that sits in pipes—like lines serving homes in neighborhoods around Lake Placid—can make those odors more noticeable. If you’re already using bottled water for drinking but still smell or taste issues throughout the house, treating water at the point of entry will improve water used for cooking, bathing, laundry, and everyday cleaning across your whole Lake Placid home.
The most effective single-filter option for reducing chlorine dioxide throughout a home is a whole-house catalytic carbon filter. Catalytic carbon media is designed to perform better with oxidizing disinfectants and is commonly used to reduce disinfectant taste and odor. Installed at the main water inlet, it treats every faucet and fixture in your Lake Placid residence—so you get cleaner-smelling, better-tasting water throughout the house without changing how you use water day to day.
A correctly sized catalytic carbon system emphasizes adequate contact time and sufficient media capacity for reliable chlorine dioxide reduction, and it spares you the upkeep of multiple under-sink units or pitchers that won’t help showers and laundry. Mr. Pure Water can help match a whole-house catalytic carbon filter to your Lake Placid home’s flow rate and water use, considering local hard groundwater conditions. If you’d like confidence before installing equipment, we recommend a water test to see whether chlorine dioxide or its byproducts are likely behind the issues you’re experiencing.
