Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine filter.
Many homeowners in Florida notice a sharp, pool-like chlorine smell or an aftertaste at the tap, and Perkins residents are no different. Water utilities commonly add chlorine as a disinfectant to keep microbes under control as water travels through distribution lines, and some of that disinfectant can remain in finished water and be noticeable at the faucet. While chlorine helps protect public supply quality, its presence can make drinking, cooking, and bathing less pleasant.
You might notice a chlorine taste in cold water, ice, or drinks, especially after water sits in pipes, and the scent often becomes more pronounced in hot showers as steam releases the odor. Some Perkins homeowners also report hair or skin feeling drier after bathing when disinfectant levels are more noticeable. If you’d like water that simply tastes and smells more neutral throughout your house, cutting down on chlorine is a common and effective step.
For treating chlorine throughout your Perkins home, a single tank-style activated carbon filter is usually the best one-filter solution. Catalytic carbon is especially effective against disinfectants, giving 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 your plumbing, so chlorine taste and chlorine odor are addressed at every tap rather than just one sink.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house catalytic carbon systems in Perkins to reduce chlorine as water enters your home, improving taste and smell in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spigots. These units remove chlorine by adsorbing it onto the carbon media without adding chemicals to your water. Proper sizing matters because contact time and flow rate determine how well chlorine is reduced during daily use. When designed and installed correctly, you’ll enjoy more comfortable showers and cleaner-tasting water throughout the house.
