Including filter system and high-performance Chlorine filter.
Many Florida residents notice a sharp, pool-like chlorine smell or a lingering aftertaste at the faucet, and Ward is no exception. Water utilities commonly add chlorine as a disinfectant to control microbes as water travels through distribution lines. While that helps keep water safe, residual chlorine can remain in finished water and be noticeable when drinking, cooking, or showering — making everyday use less pleasant.
You might notice a chlorine taste in cold water, ice, or beverages — often stronger if water has sat in pipes for a while. A chlorine odor becomes more noticeable in hot water and steamy showers as the smell releases into the air. Some Ward homeowners also report hair or skin feeling drier after bathing when disinfectant levels are present. If you prefer water that tastes and smells more neutral throughout your home, reducing chlorine is a common and effective step.
For treating chlorine throughout the entire house, a single tank-style activated carbon system is usually the best one-filter option. Catalytic carbon is especially effective at targeting disinfectants, offering strong chlorine reduction while maintaining good flow for showers, laundry, and multiple fixtures. Unlike small under-sink cartridges, a correctly sized whole-home carbon unit treats water before it reaches Ward plumbing, so you address chlorine taste and chlorine odor at every tap instead of just one location.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house catalytic carbon filtration that reduces chlorine as water enters your Ward home, improving taste and smell in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spigots. These systems adsorb chlorine as water passes through the carbon media without adding chemicals, and proper sizing is important because contact time and flow rate determine effectiveness. With the right system in place, you’ll enjoy more comfortable showers and cleaner-tasting water throughout the house.
