Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine filter.
Many homeowners in the Jacksonville area, including Riomar, recognize chlorine in their tap water as a sharp, pool-like smell or a lingering aftertaste. Utilities add chlorine as a disinfectant to control germs while water moves through distribution lines, and that residual can remain noticeable at the faucet. While important for treatment, that finished-water chlorine can make drinking, cooking, and bathing less pleasant.
You might notice a chlorine taste in cold water, ice, or drinks, especially if water has been sitting in pipes — something Riomar homeowners sometimes mention. The chlorine odor often becomes more noticeable in hot water or during steamy showers as the smell escapes into the air. Some people also find their skin or hair feels drier after bathing when disinfectant levels are higher. If you want water that simply tastes and smells more neutral throughout your Riomar house, reducing chlorine is an easy, common improvement.
For whole-home chlorine removal, a single tank-style activated carbon filter — especially catalytic carbon — is the most practical, effective one-filter choice. Catalytic carbon is built to reduce disinfectants efficiently while maintaining good flow for showers, laundry, and multiple fixtures common in Riomar homes. Unlike small under-sink cartridges, a correctly sized whole-house carbon system treats water before it reaches your plumbing, so it tackles chlorine taste and chlorine odor at every tap rather than just one sink.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house catalytic carbon systems to reduce chlorine as water enters Riomar 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. Proper sizing is important — contact time and flow rate affect daily performance — and with the right setup you’ll get more comfortable showers and cleaner-tasting water throughout your whole house.
