Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine Dioxide filter.
Chlorine dioxide is a potent disinfectant sometimes used in drinking water systems to control microbes. When levels are higher than you’d like, it can give tap and shower water a chemical taste or unpleasant odor that’s easy to notice in the home. Many New Harmony residents describe drier-feeling skin or hair after bathing when oxidizing smells are present. If your household water suddenly seems harsher or smells different, chlorine dioxide is one possible cause to consider.
Because chlorine dioxide reacts as it disinfects, it can produce related byproducts that affect taste and smell even when water looks clear. Those compounds are often more obvious in hot water or after water has sat in pipes for a while. If you find bottled water improves drinking taste but odors persist throughout the house, treating water at the point of entry in your New Harmony home will help—improving water used for cooking, bathing, laundry and cleaning, not just at a single faucet.
The most effective single-filter choice for reducing chlorine dioxide across a house is a whole-house catalytic carbon filter. Catalytic carbon media is designed to do better with certain oxidizing disinfectants and is commonly used to reduce taste and odor from disinfectants. When installed at the main water entry to your New Harmony property, it treats every fixture without changing how you live or use water day to day, leaving water across the home smelling and tasting cleaner.
A correctly sized catalytic carbon system emphasizes contact time and media capacity, which are central to reliably lowering chlorine dioxide. It also removes the need for multiple under-sink units or pitchers that don’t improve showers and laundry. Mr. Pure Water in New Harmony can help pick the right whole-house catalytic carbon filter for your home’s flow rate and daily water use. If you prefer confirmation first, we offer water testing to determine whether chlorine dioxide or related compounds are likely causing the issues you’re noticing.
