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 other microbes. It often appears after chlorine or chloramine reacts with natural organic material in the source water, so it can be present even when water looks and tastes normal. In Runyon, whether you’re on a municipal system or a private well can change your exposure, and many homeowners choose to reduce dibromoacetic acid as part of improving overall household water quality.
You can’t detect dibromoacetic acid by sight or taste, and utilities track it as one of several byproducts that may fluctuate depending on source water and treatment practices. Because it is dissolved, common measures like boiling won’t reliably remove it. For Runyon families who want protection at every tap, a whole-house approach treats incoming water so showers, laundry and all faucets see lower levels, not just the kitchen sink.
To reduce dibromoacetic acid at the point of entry, the most effective single-filter choice is a catalytic carbon whole-house system. Carbon media works by adsorbing many disinfection byproducts as water flows through, and catalytic carbon is a more reactive form that can outperform standard activated carbon for some chlorine-related compounds. Installed on the main supply line, a single catalytic carbon tank provides treated water to showers, sinks, appliances and outdoor spigots in Runyon homes.
Removal depends on contact time, so a catalytic carbon system sized for 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 occur, and regular media replacement prevents channeling and lost performance. Mr. Pure Water can assess Runyon properties—whether served by municipal water or a private well—and recommend the right whole-house catalytic carbon filter to meet your flow and dibromoacetic acid reduction goals.
