Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine filter.
Many Orangetree homeowners notice a sharp, pool-like smell or a lingering aftertaste from chlorine in tap water. Utilities add chlorine to control microbes as water travels through distribution lines, and small amounts can remain in finished water and be noticeable at the faucet. While it serves an important purpose in treatment, that lingering disinfectant can make drinking, cooking, and bathing less pleasant for daily use.
In Orangetree, a faint chlorine taste can show up in cold water, ice, and drinks, and it’s often stronger after water has sat in pipes overnight. The chlorine odor tends to be more noticeable in hot water or during steamy showers as the smell releases into the air. Some homeowners also report hair or skin feeling drier after bathing when disinfectant levels are more apparent. If you’d like water that tastes and smells more neutral throughout your house, reducing chlorine is a common and effective step.
For single-filter whole-house removal of chlorine, a tank-style activated carbon system is usually the best option. Systems using catalytic carbon are especially effective at handling disinfectants while maintaining good flow for showers, laundry, and multiple fixtures. Unlike small point-of-use cartridges, a correctly sized whole-home carbon tank treats incoming water before it reaches your plumbing, so it reduces chlorine taste and chlorine odor at every faucet in the house.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house catalytic carbon filtration for Orangetree homes to reduce chlorine as water enters the house, improving taste and odor at kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spigots. These units adsorb chlorine onto the carbon media as water passes through, without adding chemicals, and must be sized correctly so contact time and flow meet your household needs. With the right system in place, you’ll notice more comfortable showers, fewer chlorine smells, and cleaner-tasting water across your entire home — which is especially useful in Southwest Florida where plumbing and backup water planning are considerations.
