Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine Dioxide filter.
Chlorine dioxide is a powerful disinfectant used in some water systems to control microbes. When levels are higher than you'd like, you may detect a chemical taste or an oxidizing odor coming from the tap or the shower in your Red Head home. Some residents also report drier skin or hair after bathing when that smell is present. If your water has suddenly started to seem harsher, chlorine dioxide is one of the common causes worth investigating.
Because chlorine dioxide is reactive, it can create related byproducts that change taste and smell even when water looks clear. Those effects are often stronger in hot water or after water has sat in pipes for a while. If you’re still noticing odors throughout your Red Head house despite using bottled water for drinking, treating water at the point of entry will address cooking, bathing, laundry and cleaning — not just a single faucet.
For whole-home reduction of chlorine dioxide, a catalytic carbon whole-house filter is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Carbon media is commonly used to reduce disinfectants and improve taste and odor, and catalytic carbon is optimized to handle certain oxidizing compounds. Installed where water enters your Red Head property, it delivers treated water to every fixture without changing how you use water day to day.
A correctly sized catalytic carbon system emphasizes contact time and sufficient media capacity to keep chlorine dioxide reduction consistent. It also spares you the upkeep of multiple under-sink units or relying on pitchers that won’t help showers and laundry. Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house catalytic carbon filter matched to your Red Head home’s flow rate and water use, and we can perform a water test first if you’d like confirmation that chlorine dioxide is likely causing the issues you’re experiencing.
