Including filter system and high-performance Dibromoacetic acid filter.
Dibromoacetic acid is a disinfection byproduct that can form when utilities treat drinking water to control microbes. It often appears when chlorine or chloramine reacts with natural organic material in the source water, so it can be present even if the water looks and tastes normal. Many Willis homeowners choose to address disinfection byproducts like dibromoacetic acid as part of a wider effort to improve household water quality.
You won’t see dibromoacetic acid in a glass of water, yet it’s one of the byproducts water systems track and manage. Its concentration can change with shifts in source water and treatment practices, so tap water chemistry isn’t always constant. Because dibromoacetic acid is dissolved, simple measures like boiling won’t remove it; a whole-house approach gives Willis residents protection at every faucet, not only at a single point of use.
To lower dibromoacetic acid at the point where water enters your house, a catalytic carbon whole-house filter is usually the best single-filter choice. Carbon media adsorbs many disinfection byproducts as water flows through, reducing what reaches showers, sinks, laundry, and appliances. Catalytic carbon is a more reactive form of carbon that can outperform standard activated carbon for some chlorine-related compounds. Installed on the main water line, a single catalytic carbon tank provides housewide treatment for Willis homes.
System sizing matters because adsorption depends on contact time — homes with higher flow need a larger catalytic carbon tank so water moves slowly enough for effective removal. Routine media replacement prevents channeling and preserves performance over time. Mr. Pure Water works with Willis homeowners to size and install the right catalytic carbon whole-house filter for their household flow and goals for dibromoacetic acid reduction.
