Chlorine Dioxide in Lower Grand Lagoon Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Chlorine Dioxide in the Water Supply of Lower Grand Lagoon Florida Homes

Chlorine dioxide is a potent disinfectant sometimes used in water systems to control microbes. When levels are noticeable, it can give tap and shower water a sharp chemical taste or a strong oxidizing odor, and some homeowners in Lower Grand Lagoon notice drier-feeling skin or hair after bathing. If your household water suddenly seems harsher or has a persistent off-smell, chlorine dioxide is one possible cause to investigate.

Because chlorine dioxide reacts in the distribution system, it can create related byproducts that affect taste and odor even when water appears clear. Those smells are often more apparent in hot water or water that's been sitting in pipes. If you’re already buying bottled water for drinking but still detect odors throughout your house in Lower Grand Lagoon, point-of-entry treatment — treating water where it enters your home — will improve cooking, bathing, laundry and general cleaning all at once.
