Including filter system and high-performance Dibromoacetic acid filter.
Dibromoacetic acid is a disinfection byproduct that can form when water is treated to control microbes, often tied to chlorine or chloramine reacting with organic matter. Because it’s produced during treatment, it can be present even when water looks and tastes normal. Franklin homeowners who want to improve overall water quality often include steps to reduce byproducts like dibromoacetic acid as part of a comprehensive plan for healthier water at home.
You won’t see dibromoacetic acid in a glass, but utilities routinely monitor groups of regulated byproducts because concentrations can change with source water and treatment practices. That means tap water quality in Franklin may vary over time. Boiling won’t reliably remove dibromoacetic acid since it’s dissolved; a whole-house approach is the best way to lower exposure from every faucet, shower and appliance in your home.
To reduce dibromoacetic acid at the point of entry, a catalytic carbon whole-house filter is generally the most effective single-filter solution. Carbon media adsorbs many disinfection byproducts as water passes through, and catalytic carbon is a more reactive form that often outperforms standard activated carbon for certain chlorine-related compounds. Installed on the main line, a single catalytic carbon tank treats water used for cooking, laundry, showers and all household taps in Franklin homes.
Performance depends on contact time, so sizing a whole-house catalytic carbon system correctly for your household flow is as important as the media itself. Homes with higher flow need larger tanks so water moves slowly enough for adsorption to occur; routine media replacement prevents channeling and maintains removal efficiency. Mr. Pure Water can help Franklin residents select and size the right catalytic carbon whole-house filter to meet your flow needs and reduce dibromoacetic acid throughout the house.
