Including filter system and high-performance Dibromoacetic acid filter.
Dibromoacetic acid is a disinfection byproduct that can form when water is treated to control bacteria and viruses. It often appears after chlorine or chloramine react with natural organic matter in the source water, so it can be present even when water looks and tastes normal. Many Franjo homeowners choose to address dibromoacetic acid as part of broader steps to improve household water quality and peace of mind.
You won’t see dibromoacetic acid in a glass, yet it’s one of the byproducts utilities track and manage. Levels can change with the source water and treatment practices, so tap water quality may vary over time. Because it’s dissolved, simply boiling won’t reliably remove it. In Franjo, a whole-house approach makes sense if you want to reduce exposure from every faucet, shower and appliance rather than treating only the kitchen tap.
To cut dibromoacetic acid at the point where water enters your home, a catalytic carbon whole-house filter is typically the best single-filter choice. Carbon media adsorbs many disinfection byproducts as water flows through, and catalytic carbon is a more reactive variety that can outperform standard activated carbon for certain chlorine-related compounds. Installed on the main line, a single catalytic carbon tank treats water used for bathing, cooking, laundry and more across your Franjo home.
Performance depends on contact time, so sizing a whole-house catalytic carbon system to your household’s flow is as important as the media itself. Homes with higher peak flow need a larger tank so water moves slowly enough for adsorption to work effectively. Regular media replacement prevents channeling and maintains removal performance. Mr. Pure Water in Franjo can recommend the right catalytic carbon system matched to your home’s flow and goals for dibromoacetic acid reduction.
