Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine filter.
Many Fountain homeowners recognize chlorine by its sharp, pool-like smell or a lingering aftertaste at the tap. Utilities often add chlorine as a disinfectant to protect water as it travels through distribution lines, and some of that residual can remain in finished water. While important for safety, that lingering disinfectant can make drinking, cooking, and bathing less pleasant around the house.
If your cold tap water, ice, or brewed drinks have a faint chemical flavor, that chlorine taste can be the cause — and it sometimes becomes more noticeable after water sits in pipes. The scent of chlorine often shows up louder in hot water and during steamy showers as the odor is released into the air. Homeowners in Fountain may also observe hair or skin feeling drier after bathing when disinfectant levels are higher. If you’d like water that smells and tastes more neutral throughout your house, reducing chlorine is a common and effective step.
The single-filter solution most effective for whole-house chlorine reduction is a tank-style activated carbon system, and catalytic carbon is especially good at handling disinfectants. These whole-home carbon filters are sized to give proper contact time and maintain strong flow for showers, laundry, and multiple fixtures — treating water before it reaches your plumbing rather than just a single sink. For Fountain residences, a correctly sized catalytic carbon system is the go-to option to address both chlorine taste and chlorine odor at every faucet.
Mr. Pure Water fits whole-house catalytic carbon filters to reduce chlorine as water enters Fountain homes, improving taste and smell across kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor faucets. These systems remove chlorine by adsorbing it onto carbon media as water flows through, without introducing chemicals. Proper sizing matters because contact time and flow rate determine how well the system performs during daily use. When installed correctly, you’ll notice fresher-smelling showers and better-tasting water throughout your whole house.
