Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine filter.
Many homeowners in Kern notice a sharp, pool-like chlorine smell or a lingering aftertaste from their tap. Water utilities commonly add chlorine as a disinfectant to protect water in distribution lines, and some of that disinfectant can remain in finished water and be detectable at the faucet. While chlorine helps control germs, its presence can make everyday drinking, cooking, and bathing less enjoyable.
You may notice a chlorine taste in cold drinking water, ice, or beverages, especially after water has sat in your pipes for a while. A chlorine odor tends to become more apparent in hot water—showers and steamy bathrooms often release those pool-like smells. Some Kern residents also report skin or hair feeling drier after bathing when disinfectant levels are higher. If you’d prefer a more neutral, pleasant water experience throughout your home, reducing chlorine is a common and effective first step.
For whole-home chlorine removal, a single tank-style activated carbon filter is usually the best one-filter option. Catalytic carbon media excels at breaking down disinfectants, delivering strong chlorine reduction while maintaining good flow for showers, laundry, and multiple fixtures. Unlike small under-sink cartridges, a correctly sized whole-house carbon system treats water as it enters your Kern home so you get improved chlorine taste and chlorine odor control at every tap rather than only at one sink.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house catalytic carbon filtration to reduce chlorine as water enters Kern homes, improving taste and odor in 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 during daily use. With the right setup, you’ll notice more comfortable showers and cleaner-tasting water throughout your entire home.
