Including filter system and high-performance Chloroform filter.
Chloroform can form when disinfectants like chlorine react with natural organic material during water treatment. Also called trichloromethane, it’s part of a group known as disinfection byproducts. Even if water looks clear in Fidelis homes, these compounds can be present, and some people detect subtle changes in taste or smell—especially with hot water used for showers or washing dishes.
Because chloroform is volatile, it can off-gas into the air during bathing, cooking, or laundry rather than only when you drink from the tap. That’s why many Fidelis homeowners choose to treat water at the point it enters the house instead of relying solely on pitchers or under-sink units. A whole-house system gives a practical, day-to-day improvement so your family encounters fewer contaminants throughout the home without altering how you use your plumbing.
The most effective single-filter option for reducing chloroform in household water is a whole-house activated carbon filter. Carbon media adsorbs many organic compounds, including trichloromethane, as water flows through the system. Installed on the main supply line, it treats water for every tap in your Fidelis house—improving shower, bath, and kitchen water simultaneously—without adding chemicals to your water.
To work well, a whole-house carbon filter needs sufficient contact time and enough media volume to match your home’s flow rate, plus regular cartridge or media changes so the bed doesn’t become exhausted. Mr. Pure Water can help size and install an activated carbon unit for Fidelis plumbing and household use, then set it up to run quietly in the background for steadier water quality throughout your home.
