How Do Chlorine & Chloramines Get Into Water?
Municipal Water Treatment
City water systems add chlorine or chloramines to help control bacteria and other microorganisms.
Distribution System Variations
Levels may change depending on distance from treatment plants, seasonal adjustments, or line flushing.
Older Plumbing or Heater Systems
Hot water may increase chlorine odors because heat releases more chemical smell into the air.
Switches Between Chlorine and Chloramines
Some cities switch disinfectants throughout the year, which may change the way your water tastes or smells.
How to Reduce Chlorine & Chloramines in Water
Filtration helps reduce chlorine odors and tastes and may improve overall water clarity and comfort. Testing confirms which disinfectant is present so we can match the right system.
Activated Carbon Filtration
Carbon media helps reduce chlorine and chloramine levels, improving taste and smell throughout the home.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems
RO systems help reduce chlorine, chloramines, and other contaminants at the kitchen sink for drinking and cooking water.
Whole-Home Filtration & Conditioning
Larger systems can treat water at the point of entry, offering improved water for showers, laundry, and everyday use.
