Treatment Solutions for High Chlorine and Chloramine Levels

A swimming-pool smell, chemical taste, or noticeable odor from the tap can make otherwise clear water unpleasant to drink, cook with, or use around your home. In many cases, what you’re noticing is chlorine or chloramine used by the water provider during disinfection.

Christian Brothers A/C, Plumbing, & Electrical helps homeowners throughout the Phoenix Metro Area address unwanted chlorine and chloramine taste and odor. We can evaluate your water, determine where treatment will provide the most benefit, and recommend filtration based on your water quality and household needs.

Can Chlorine in My Water Cause Problems?

Chlorine and chloramine play an important role in keeping public water supplies disinfected. Even when the water meets drinking-water standards, some homeowners prefer to reduce the residual disinfectant once the water reaches their home.

The most noticeable problems are often related to taste and odor, which may include:

If these issues are present throughout your home, treating the water before it reaches individual fixtures can provide a more complete solution.

How We Address High Chlorine and Chloramine Levels

The right treatment depends on what’s in your water, how noticeable the problem is, and whether you want to improve water throughout your home or primarily at the kitchen sink. We start by identifying the concern and then match the treatment method to your water and your goals.

Testing gives us a clearer picture of your water before treatment equipment is selected. We can use the results along with your water source and household concerns to determine whether chlorine, chloramine, or another water quality issue needs to be addressed.

When chlorine or chloramine taste and odor are noticeable throughout your home, whole-home filtration can treat the water before it reaches your faucets and showers. Carbon filtration is commonly used for chlorine reduction, while chloramine may require specialized media, additional contact time, or filtration designed specifically for chloramine.

If your priority is better-tasting water for drinking, cooking, ice, coffee, and tea, a reverse osmosis system can provide targeted treatment at the kitchen sink. Reverse osmosis can also be paired with whole-home filtration when you want broader treatment throughout your home.

Get the Right Filtration for Your Water

There isn’t one filter that’s right for every chlorine or chloramine concern. The best approach depends on the disinfectant present, where you notice the problem, household water demand, and what you want the treatment system to accomplish.

We can help you determine what water treatment system or combination of systems makes the most sense for your home. We can also evaluate existing treatment equipment when filter or media replacement is needed.
