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 after chlorine or chloramine reacts with natural organic matter. Because it forms during treatment, it can be present even when water looks clear and tastes fine. Many Pace homeowners choose to reduce it as part of improving overall water quality throughout their properties.
You won’t see dibromoacetic acid in a glass, but it’s one of the byproducts utilities monitor and manage. Levels may shift over time depending on source water and treatment practices, so tap water can vary month to month. Because it’s dissolved, boiling won’t reliably remove it; a whole-house approach is the best way to lower exposure from every faucet in a Pace home.
To reduce dibromoacetic acid at the point of entry, a catalytic carbon whole-house filter is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Carbon media adsorbs many disinfection byproducts as water flows through, reducing what reaches your faucets and appliances. Catalytic carbon is a more reactive form of carbon that can outperform standard activated carbon for certain chlorine-related compounds. Installed at the main line as a single tank, it treats water used for showers, sinks, laundry and cooking in your Pace home.
Effective removal depends on contact time, so sizing matters: a properly sized catalytic carbon whole-house system is as important as the media itself. Homes with higher household flows need a larger tank so water passes slowly enough for adsorption to work. Routine replacement prevents channeling and keeps the carbon bed performing. Mr. Pure Water can help Pace homeowners choose and size the right whole-house catalytic carbon filter to meet flow needs and dibromoacetic acid reduction goals.
