Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine Dioxide filter.
Chlorine dioxide is a powerful disinfectant sometimes employed to control microbes in drinking systems. When levels are higher than you’d like, it can give tap and shower water a sharp chemical taste or odor and can leave skin and hair feeling drier after bathing. If your Portland home’s water suddenly seems harsher or has a strong oxidizing smell, chlorine dioxide is one possible cause to consider.
Because chlorine dioxide is reactive, it can form byproducts that affect taste and smell even when water looks clear, and these sensations can be stronger in hot water or stagnant pipes. If you’re using bottled water for drinking but still notice odors throughout your Portland home, treating water at the point where it enters the house makes a bigger difference. Whole-house treatment improves the water used for cooking, bathing, laundry and everyday cleaning across the entire home.
To reduce chlorine dioxide throughout a residence, a whole-house catalytic carbon filter is generally the single most effective option. Catalytic carbon media is designed to handle oxidizing disinfectants and to improve taste and odor, and when installed at the main water entry it treats every faucet and fixture without changing daily water use. The result for Portland homeowners is cleaner-smelling, better-tasting water throughout the house, not just at one sink.
A correctly sized catalytic carbon system emphasizes sufficient contact time and media capacity to deliver steady reduction of chlorine dioxide, avoiding the inconvenience of multiple point-of-use devices or pitchers that don’t treat showers and laundry. Mr. Pure Water in Portland can help select a whole-house catalytic carbon unit matched to your home’s flow rate and usage. If you prefer confirmation before installing equipment, we can arrange a water test to see whether chlorine dioxide is likely contributing to the issues you’re experiencing.
