Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine filter.
Many homeowners in and around Edgewood notice a sharp, pool-like chlorine smell or a lingering aftertaste at the faucet. Utilities commonly add chlorine as a disinfectant to protect water as it travels through distribution lines, and some of that disinfectant can remain in finished water you use for cooking, drinking and bathing. While it helps keep water safe, its presence can make everyday use less pleasant around the house.
You may notice a chlorine taste in cold water, ice cubes or drinks, especially after water sits in pipes for a while. That pool-like flavor often shows up at the kitchen tap, while a chlorine odor becomes more pronounced in hot water and steamy showers as the smell is released into the air. Some Edgewood homeowners also report skin or hair feeling drier after bathing when disinfectant levels are more noticeable. If you’d like water that tastes and smells more neutral throughout your house, reducing chlorine is a common and effective step.
For treating chlorine throughout an Edgewood home, a single tank-style activated carbon filter is usually the best one-filter solution. Catalytic carbon is especially effective at removing disinfectants while maintaining good flow for showers, laundry and multiple fixtures around the house. Unlike undersink cartridges, a correctly sized whole-home carbon system conditions water before it reaches plumbing and appliances. That means you can address chlorine taste and chlorine odor at every tap rather than only at one sink.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house catalytic carbon systems to reduce chlorine as water enters Edgewood homes, improving taste and odor across kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor spigots. These systems remove chlorine by adsorbing it onto the carbon media as water flows through, without adding chemicals. Proper sizing is important—contact time and flow rate determine how well the system performs, especially in homes with hard Central Florida water that sees year-round outdoor use. With the right setup, you’ll get more comfortable showers and better-tasting water throughout your home.
