Including filter system and high-performance Haloacetonitriles filter.
Haloacetonitriles are disinfection byproducts that can form when utilities use chlorine or chloramine and those chemicals react with natural organic material in source water. Even in homes where the water looks clear and tastes fine, these compounds can be present at low levels, so some Southchase homeowners choose to reduce them as part of improving overall water quality. The only way to know if haloacetonitriles are in your supply and at what concentration is a laboratory water test tailored to detect these byproducts.
Haloacetonitriles belong to the broader group of disinfection byproducts alongside trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs), and their concentrations can change with source-water conditions and treatment practices. That variability is why one test may differ from another. Many households in the Orlando area, including Southchase and nearby neighborhoods, begin exploring treatment after noticing stronger chlorine odors, altered taste, or skin sensitivity from chlorinated water, though those signals don’t specifically identify haloacetonitriles. A whole-house system is a popular choice because it treats water used for drinking, cooking, bathing and appliances throughout the home.
To reduce haloacetonitriles across the entire house, a whole-house activated carbon filter is generally the single most effective option. Catalytic carbon — a specialized activated carbon — is often recommended because it handles a wider range of chlorine-related compounds while improving taste and odor. In Southchase homes with hard groundwater and mineral scale concerns, lowering disinfectant residuals with carbon filtration can also help reduce the formation of byproducts further down household plumbing, all while delivering treated water to every faucet and shower.
Effective removal depends on adequate carbon contact time, so correct system sizing and flow rate are important for whole-house setups. A properly designed unit uses a high-capacity carbon tank sized for typical household demand rather than small cartridges that exhaust quickly, and routine media replacement prevents breakthrough as the carbon becomes saturated. Mr. Pure Water can assess Southchase homes and recommend a whole-house catalytic carbon configuration that fits your plumbing, water usage and goals for reducing haloacetonitriles.
