Including filter system and high-performance Dibromoacetic acid filter.
Dibromoacetic acid is one of the disinfection byproducts that can form when utilities treat water to control microbes. It often appears after chlorine or chloramine reacts with natural organic matter in the source, so it can be present even when water looks and tastes normal. Atlantis homeowners who want to raise their overall water quality sometimes choose to reduce this byproduct as part of a whole-home water plan.
You won’t see dibromoacetic acid in a glass, but utilities routinely track disinfection byproducts because concentrations can shift with source water and treatment practices. Because it’s dissolved, simple measures like boiling won’t reliably remove it. In Atlantis and nearby Palm Beach County communities, a point-of-entry approach treats every faucet and appliance so you’re not relying only on a kitchen filter.
To reduce dibromoacetic acid at the main line, a catalytic carbon whole-house filter is generally the best single-filter solution. Carbon media adsorbs many disinfection byproducts as water flows through the tank, and catalytic carbon is a more reactive form that can outperform standard activated carbon for some chlorine-related compounds. When installed at the home entry, this single tank treats water for showers, sinks, laundry and cooking across Atlantis homes.
Effectiveness depends on contact time, so sizing the catalytic carbon system for your household’s flow is critical—especially in hard-water Palm Beach County homes where mineral scale can affect plumbing. Faster-flowing households often need a larger tank so water moves slowly enough for adsorption to work. Routine media replacement prevents channeling and keeps removal consistent, and Mr. Pure Water can help match the right whole-house catalytic carbon system to your Atlantis home and reduction goals.
