Key details about chloramine treatment systems address these important considerations:

Why Locals Choose This Option

San Marcos residents often ask these questions about removing municipal water additives and improving their tap water quality.

What's the difference between chlorine and chloramine treatment?
Chloramine is more stable than chlorine and requires catalytic carbon filtration rather than standard carbon. The removal process takes longer contact time with specialized media.
How long do chloramine filters last?
Catalytic carbon filters typically handle 50,000-75,000 gallons before replacement, depending on your water usage and chloramine levels. We monitor performance during regular service visits.
Will removing chloramine affect water safety?
Municipal water is already disinfected before reaching your home, so removing chloramine doesn't compromise safety. The filtration only affects taste and odor.
Can I install a whole-house system for chloramine removal?
Yes, whole-house systems treat all water entering your home, protecting appliances and providing treated water at every tap and fixture throughout your San Marcos property.
How quickly will I notice the taste improvement?
Most people notice immediate improvement in taste and odor once the system flushes the first few gallons of treated water through your plumbing lines.

Municipal water treatment protects public health, but removing these additives at your home provides better-tasting water for drinking, cooking, and daily use. Book your consultation to learn about chloramine filtration options for your specific needs.
