Including filter system and high-performance Tannins filter.
Tannins are natural organic compounds that can give water a yellow, amber or tea-like tint. In homes that use well water or groundwater moving through leaf litter, peat, or certain soils—common around June Park and the Brevard County area—tannins can leach into the supply. They don’t always change flavor strongly, but you may notice an earthy or musty taste, cloudy-looking glasses, or persistent staining on fixtures, laundry and appliances over time.
Because tannins remain dissolved, they won’t settle like sand and can pass through simple cartridge filters. June Park homeowners often spot tannins when clear drinking glasses take on color, white clothing develops a yellow cast, or soap and shampoo don’t rinse as expected—issues made more noticeable in our hard local water. Tannins can also interact with iron to worsen staining. The best first step is a water test so you can confirm tannins and choose the correct treatment for your home.
For whole-home tannin control, the most effective single-filter option is an anion exchange system formulated for tannins. These systems use a specialized resin that captures negatively charged organic molecules, removing the tea-colored tint before water reaches taps throughout a June Park residence. Compared with standard carbon filters, anion exchange is generally better at eliminating the dissolved color and protecting plumbing, fixtures and appliances when installed at the main water entry.
An anion exchange tannin filter performs best when paired with appropriate prefiltration and correctly sized for your household to avoid clogging or channeling. Like a softener, it requires periodic regeneration to flush away captured organics and restore resin capacity. If your water also shows iron, sulfur odors or sediment—common issues when hard water is present—treating those alongside tannins will help prevent return staining and keep water clearer. Mr. Pure Water can review your June Park water test and recommend the whole-house setup that fits your water quality and daily demand.
