Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine Dioxide filter.
Chlorine dioxide is a powerful disinfectant sometimes added to drinking water to control microbes. When levels become noticeable, you may detect a chemical taste or an oxidizing odor at the tap and in the shower, and some people report drier-feeling skin or hair after bathing. In Maitland—where Orlando-area water tends to be hard and can already affect how water feels—chlorine dioxide can be one of several factors that make water seem harsher than usual and worth investigating.
Because chlorine dioxide is reactive, it can produce related byproducts that affect taste and smell even when the water appears clear; these odors are often more pronounced in hot water or after water has sat in pipes. If you’re using bottled water for drinking but still notice smells throughout your house—during cooking, showering, or doing laundry—treating water at the point of entry in your Maitland home will address those whole-house concerns rather than just a single faucet.
To reduce chlorine dioxide throughout a residence, a whole-house catalytic carbon filter is generally the single most effective option. Catalytic carbon media is specially formulated to handle oxidizing disinfectants and improves taste and odor across every faucet and fixture. Installed at the main water line into your Maitland property, it treats water used for bathing, cooking, and laundry without changing how you use water day to day.
A correctly sized catalytic carbon system emphasizes adequate contact time and media capacity to reliably reduce chlorine dioxide rather than relying on multiple under-sink units or pitchers that won’t help showers and appliances. Mr. Pure Water can help select a whole-house catalytic carbon filter matched to your Maitland home’s flow rate and water use—especially important in the hard-water conditions common to the Orlando aquifer—and we can arrange testing first if you prefer confirmation before installing equipment.
