Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine Dioxide filter.
Chlorine dioxide is a strong disinfectant used in some water systems to control microbes. When levels are higher than desired it can give water a chemical taste or odor you notice at the tap or in the shower, and some people report drier-feeling skin or hair after bathing. If your Scanlon household suddenly has harsher-smelling or tasting water, chlorine dioxide is one possible cause to consider and investigate.
Because chlorine dioxide reacts as it disinfects, it can create related byproducts that affect taste and smell even when water appears clear. Those odors often become more obvious in hot water or after water has sat in pipes. If you find bottled water helps for drinking but the whole house still smells or tastes off in Scanlon, treating the water where it enters your home addresses cooking, bathing, laundry and all everyday uses at once.
The most effective single-filter option for reducing chlorine dioxide throughout a house is a whole-house catalytic carbon filter. Catalytic carbon is designed to perform better against certain oxidizing disinfectants and their tastes and odors than standard carbon, and when installed at the main water line it treats every faucet and fixture without changing how you use water in your Scanlon home.
A correctly sized catalytic carbon system depends on adequate contact time and media capacity to deliver consistent chlorine dioxide reduction, avoiding the need for multiple point-of-use units. Mr. Pure Water can help Scanlon homeowners pick the right whole-house catalytic carbon filter for your household flow rate and water use, and we can arrange a water test if you want confirmation before installing equipment.
