Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine filter.
Many Newport homeowners notice a sharp, pool-like chlorine smell or a lingering aftertaste from their tap. Water utilities commonly add chlorine as a disinfectant to control microbes as water travels through distribution lines, and some residual chlorine can remain in finished water and be noticeable at the faucet. While it’s important for treatment, that residual can make drinking, cooking, and bathing less pleasant around the house.
A chlorine taste can show up in cold drinking water, ice, and beverages, and it sometimes becomes more noticeable after water sits in pipes for a while. A chlorine odor is often stronger in hot water and during steamy showers when the smell releases into the air. In Newport, where humid subtropical conditions and occasional cold snaps can affect plumbing, some 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, reducing chlorine is a common, effective step.
For whole-house chlorine reduction, a single tank-style activated carbon filter—especially catalytic carbon—is usually the best one-filter solution. Catalytic carbon is built to handle disinfectants like chlorine efficiently while maintaining good flow for showers, laundry, and multiple fixtures in a home. Unlike small under-sink cartridges, a properly sized whole-home carbon system treats water before it reaches Newport plumbing, helping address both chlorine taste and chlorine odor at every tap rather than only at an individual sink.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house catalytic carbon filtration to reduce chlorine as water enters Newport homes, improving taste and smell across kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spigots. These systems remove chlorine by adsorbing it into the carbon media as water flows through, without introducing chemicals into your supply. Proper sizing is important for performance—contact time and flow rate affect how well the system handles daily household demand—so the right setup will give you more comfortable showers and cleaner-tasting water throughout your entire home.
