Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine filter.
Many homeowners in Orange County notice a sharp, pool-like chlorine smell or a lingering aftertaste at the faucet. Utilities commonly add chlorine as a disinfectant to protect water as it moves through distribution lines, and some residual can remain in finished water. While it helps control microbes, that residual chlorine can make drinking, cooking, and bathing less pleasant for families around Taft and nearby communities.
You might notice a chlorine taste in cold water, ice, or beverages, especially if water has sat in pipes for a while. A chlorine odor often becomes more pronounced in hot water and steamy showers as the smell is released into the air. Some Taft households also find skin and hair feel drier after bathing when disinfectant levels are more apparent. If you’d like water that tastes and smells more neutral throughout your Taft home, cutting chlorine is a common and effective step.
The most effective single-filter whole-house option for chlorine is a tank-style activated carbon system—catalytic carbon works especially well against disinfectants. These systems offer strong chlorine reduction while maintaining good flow for showers, laundry, and multiple fixtures in a Taft home. Unlike small under-sink cartridges, a properly sized whole-home carbon filter treats incoming water before it reaches plumbing, reducing chlorine taste and chlorine odor at every tap.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house catalytic carbon filtration to reduce chlorine as water enters Taft homes, improving taste and smell across kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spigots. These systems adsorb chlorine as water passes through the carbon media without adding chemicals, and proper sizing is important so contact time and flow rate deliver consistent performance. With the right catalytic carbon setup, you’ll enjoy more comfortable showers and cleaner-tasting water throughout your entire home.
