Including filter system and high-performance Chromium-6 filter.
Chromium-6, often called hexavalent chromium, is a dissolved form of chromium that can appear in tap water without changing taste, smell, or clarity. Many Orlando homeowners only learn about it after seeing a water test or quality report, since it’s not obvious when it’s present. It can enter water through industrial processes or when water interacts with chromium-containing materials, and understanding how it behaves is the first step toward reducing your exposure at home—whether you live near Downtown Orlando, Winter Park, or Lake Nona.
Because chromium-6 is dissolved, sediment traps and basic particle filters won’t reliably remove it from your plumbing. In Central Florida many homes already treat for chlorine taste or moderate hardness, but those systems don’t necessarily address hexavalent chromium. The most effective strategy targets dissolved contaminants with media engineered to attract and retain them. A whole-house system in Orange County treats water at the point of entry, protecting showers, faucets and appliances across your Orlando home rather than depending on a single under-sink unit.
For whole-house removal of chromium-6, the single filter type most consistently used is a catalytic activated carbon system designed for chromium reduction. This specialized carbon is formulated to help convert and capture hexavalent chromium as water passes through the media, while also improving overall water quality throughout the home. When selecting a system for Orlando properties, look for catalytic carbon media specified for chromium-6 performance—not just standard taste-and-odor carbon—so it can address dissolved contaminants effectively.
Contact time and flow rate are as important as the media itself in a correctly sized whole-house catalytic carbon filter. Mr. Pure Water sizes systems for Orlando-area homes to provide sufficient contact and capacity so dissolved contaminants, including chromium-6, are treated at the point of entry. This keeps every bathroom, kitchen and laundry line protected and fits a set-it-and-forget-it lifestyle well-suited to Central Florida’s climate and household needs.
