Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine Dioxide filter.
Chlorine dioxide is a powerful disinfectant sometimes added to drinking water to control microbes. When it shows up at noticeable levels, you may detect a chemical taste or an oxidizing odor from the tap or shower—issues Marathon Shores homeowners often spot first when bathing or cooking. Some people also describe hair and skin feeling drier after showers when that smell is present. Living in the Keys’ humid, coastal environment can make these sensory changes more obvious, so if your water recently seems harsher than usual, chlorine dioxide is one possible cause to investigate.
Because chlorine dioxide reacts as it disinfects, it can generate related byproducts that affect taste and odor even when the water appears clear. Those scents and flavors can be more pronounced in hot water, or after water has sat in your pipes—something Marathon Shores residents may notice in older or seaside-exposed plumbing. Using bottled water for drinking doesn’t remove smells from showers, laundry or dishwashing; treating water where it enters the home makes the biggest difference for cooking, bathing and everyday cleaning across the whole house.
To address chlorine dioxide across your entire home, a whole-house catalytic carbon filter is generally the single most effective option. Catalytic carbon media is designed to reduce disinfectants and improve taste and odor, and when installed at the point where water enters your Marathon Shores house it protects every faucet and fixture without changing how you use water. That means cleaner-smelling, better-tasting water for everything from showers after a day at Sombrero Beach to cooking and laundry.
A correctly sized catalytic carbon system prioritizes contact time and media capacity, which are essential for steady reduction of chlorine dioxide and its byproducts. It also saves you the hassle of multiple under-sink units or pitchers that don’t treat showers and washing machines—important in homes exposed to sea air and the corrosion challenges of the Florida Keys. Mr. Pure Water can help select a whole-house catalytic carbon filter matched to your home’s flow rate and water-use patterns in Marathon Shores, and we can perform a water test first if you’d like confirmation that chlorine dioxide is contributing to the issues you’re experiencing.
