Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine filter.
Many Maitland residents notice chlorine in tap water as a sharp pool-like smell or a lingering aftertaste. Utilities add chlorine as a disinfectant to control microbes while water travels through distribution lines, and some of that disinfectant can remain in finished water you use for drinking, cooking, and bathing. While chlorine helps protect public health, its presence can make everyday water use less pleasant around the house.
A chlorine taste can turn up in cold water, ice, or your morning coffee, and it may seem stronger after water has sat in pipes overnight. You’ll often notice chlorine odor most in hot water—showers and steam can release that sharp, pool-like smell into the air. Some Maitland homeowners also report drier-feeling skin or hair after bathing when disinfectant levels are more pronounced. If you’d like water that smells and tastes more neutral throughout your house, cutting down on chlorine is a common and effective step.
For whole-home chlorine reduction we typically recommend a single tank-style activated carbon filter—catalytic carbon is especially effective. That media is built to remove disinfectants while keeping good flow for showers, laundry, and all your fixtures, which is important in Maitland homes where hard water from the Floridan aquifer can already stress plumbing and appliances. A properly sized whole-house carbon system treats water before it reaches your pipes, addressing chlorine taste and chlorine odor at every tap rather than just at one sink.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house catalytic carbon systems to reduce chlorine right where water enters your Maitland home, improving taste and smell across kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spigots. These filters adsorb chlorine as water flows through the carbon media without adding chemicals, and sizing the tank correctly is key because contact time and flow rate determine performance during peak use. With the right system in place you’ll enjoy fresher-tasting water and more comfortable showers throughout your entire house.
