Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine Dioxide filter.
Chlorine dioxide is a powerful disinfectant sometimes applied in water systems to control microbes. When levels run higher than homeowners prefer, you may notice a chemical taste or an oxidizing odor at the tap and in the shower — or skin and hair that feel drier after bathing. In Pine Hills, where Orlando-area water is often hard and mineral-rich, that harsh sensation can stand out more; if your water seems suddenly more abrasive or has a lingering smell, chlorine dioxide could be one of the causes to investigate.
Because chlorine dioxide reacts while it disinfects, it can create related byproducts that affect taste and smell even when water looks clear. Those odors are often stronger in hot water or after water has been sitting in pipes. If you find yourself still smelling chemicals throughout the house — in the shower, laundry or kitchen — using bottled water for drinking won’t address those whole-home issues. Treating water at the main entry point makes a noticeable difference for cooking, bathing, cleaning and every faucet in your Pine Hills residence.
To reduce chlorine dioxide throughout a home, a whole-house catalytic carbon filter is generally the single most effective option. Catalytic carbon media is specially suited to handle certain oxidizing disinfectants and helps cut taste and odor concerns. Installed where water enters your Pine Hills property, this point-of-entry system protects every fixture without changing daily water habits, delivering cleaner-smelling and better-tasting water across the whole house.
A correctly sized catalytic carbon system focuses on sufficient contact time and media capacity, which are essential for reliable chlorine dioxide reduction and to avoid frequent service. It also spares you the complexity of multiple under-sink units or pitchers that don’t help showers and appliances — an important consideration for homes in the hard-water Orlando area. Mr. Pure Water can match a whole-house catalytic carbon filter to your home’s flow rate and usage, and we offer water testing if you’d like confirmation that chlorine dioxide or related byproducts are contributing to the issues you’re experiencing in Pine Hills.
