Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine Dioxide filter.
Chlorine dioxide is a powerful disinfectant sometimes added to drinking water to control microbes. When levels are stronger than you’d like, it can give water a distinct chemical smell or taste at the tap and in the shower — something Winter Garden homeowners may notice while bathing or doing laundry. Many people also report that skin and hair feel drier after showers when an oxidizing disinfectant is present. If your water around Downtown Winter Garden or Horizon West suddenly seems harsher than usual, chlorine dioxide is one of the possible causes to investigate.
Because chlorine dioxide reacts as it disinfects, it can produce related byproducts that influence taste and odor even in clear water; these effects often become more apparent in hot water or after water sits in pipes. If you’re drinking bottled water but still notice odors in your home — from the kitchen to the shower near Plant Street Market or the West Orange Trail — treating the water at the point of entry will address the problem for every faucet. A whole-house system improves water used for cooking, bathing, laundry, and cleaning across your Winter Garden home.
For treating chlorine dioxide throughout a residence, a whole-house catalytic carbon filter is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Catalytic carbon media is commonly used to reduce disinfectants and their associated tastes and odors, and it’s designed to perform better with certain oxidizing compounds. Installed at the main water entry, this filter treats every fixture in your Winter Garden house without changing how you use water day to day, leaving water that smells and tastes cleaner throughout the home.
A correctly sized catalytic carbon system focuses on adequate contact time and media capacity to deliver steady reduction of chlorine dioxide, which is especially important in Central Florida homes with hard water that can leave mineral scale on fixtures. It also spares you from juggling multiple under-sink units or pitchers that don’t protect showers and laundry. Mr. Pure Water can help select a whole-house catalytic carbon filter matched to your Winter Garden home’s flow rate and usage; if you’d like, we can start with a water test to see whether chlorine dioxide is likely causing the issues you’re experiencing.
