Chlorine taste or smell

Cities add chlorine or chloramine to keep water disinfected on its way to you. Some homes notice it as a pool-like taste or smell.

Signs you may have it

Water that tastes or smells like a pool
Coffee, tea or ice that tastes off
A chlorine smell in the shower

How it's fixed

Whole-home carbon filtration reduces chlorine taste and smell at every tap. If you only care about drinking water, a kitchen reverse osmosis system may be enough.

Every tap or just the kitchen?

Every tap and shower: whole-home carbon (Clean + Soft package)
Drinking and cooking only: kitchen RO
Both: Complete Home

Common questions

Does a chlorine taste mean my water is unsafe?

No. Disinfectant in city water is expected. This is about taste and smell.
