Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine filter.
Many homeowners in Open Sands notice chlorine as a sharp, pool-like smell or a lingering aftertaste at the faucet. Utilities often add chlorine to disinfect water as it travels through distribution lines, and some residual disinfectant can remain in finished water. While that helps control microbes, it can make everyday drinking, cooking and bathing less pleasant.
You might notice a chlorine taste in cold water, ice or drinks, and it can become stronger after water sits in pipes. A chlorine odor often shows up more in hot water—think steamy showers where the smell lifts into the air. Some Open Sands homes also report skin or hair feeling drier after bathing when disinfectant levels are higher. If you’d prefer water that tastes and smells more neutral around the house, cutting back on chlorine is a common and effective step.
For whole-home chlorine reduction, a single tank-style activated carbon filter is usually the best one-filter choice. Catalytic carbon, especially, is tailored to remove disinfectants and delivers 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 before it reaches Open Sands plumbing, so you address chlorine taste and chlorine odor at every tap instead of just one sink.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house catalytic carbon systems to reduce chlorine as water enters Open Sands homes, improving taste and smell across kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor spigots. These filters adsorb chlorine as water passes through the carbon media without adding chemicals. Sizing the system correctly is important because contact time and flow rate determine performance throughout the day. With the right unit, you’ll get more comfortable showers and cleaner-tasting water for daily use across your whole home.
