Including filter system and high-performance Haloacetic Acids filter.
Haloacetic acids are disinfection byproducts that can form when chlorine in treated water reacts with natural organic matter; on water reports you’ll often see them listed as HAAs or grouped as HAA5 and HAA9. Because they form during treatment and while water moves through pipes, they can be present even when tap water looks and smells normal. Many Willis homeowners choose to treat incoming water so the household water used for drinking, cooking and bathing has lower levels of these byproducts.
Haloacetic acids usually have no taste or odor, so you can’t rely on senses to know if they’re present. Concentrations fluctuate with source-water conditions and treatment methods, so a single test may not reflect longer-term exposure. Small point-of-use pitchers or under-sink units only treat one tap; for more consistent coverage across every faucet and shower in a Willis residence, a whole-house system is a better option.
To reduce haloacetic acids throughout the home, a catalytic carbon whole-house filter is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Catalytic carbon adsorbs many chlorine-related disinfection byproducts, including HAAs, and treats water for showers, clothes washers, dishwashers and all taps without changing household habits. Properly sized for your home’s flow rate, this single-tank approach can lower HAA5 and HAA9 across your Willis plumbing system.
A correctly designed catalytic carbon tank uses enough media and contact time for reliable reduction of haloacetic acids, since longer contact improves removal. Maintenance is primarily media replacement on a schedule to keep performance consistent. Because the filter treats water at the main line, it also helps protect Willis plumbing and fixtures from chlorine-related wear while improving water quality; Mr. Pure Water can assess your household needs and recommend the right whole-house catalytic carbon system.
