Chlorine Removal for City Water

Tired of Your City Water Tasting Like a Swimming Pool?

If you’re on municipal water and your tap water tastes or smells like chlorine — you’re not imagining it. Cities add chlorine to treat the water supply, and while it’s effective for sanitation at the treatment plant, by the time it reaches your home it’s done its job. What’s left is the taste, the smell, and the dry skin and hair that come with it.

Why Does City Water Taste and Smell Like Chlorine?

Municipal water systems use chlorine (or chloramine) as a disinfectant to kill bacteria during treatment and as water travels through miles of pipes to your home. The amount varies by season, distance from the treatment plant, and local water conditions.

Common complaints from homeowners on city water:

Strong chlorine taste in drinking water
Chemical or bleach-like smell when running taps
Dry skin and hair after showering
White residue on dishes and glassware
Off-taste in coffee, tea, and cooking

Our Chatfield Water Systems CityLux is designed specifically for homes on municipal water. The CityLux is a whole-home filtration system that removes chlorine, chloramine, and their byproducts from your entire water supply — not just one faucet.

Whole-Home Treatment — Not Just a Pitcher Filter

Pitcher filters and faucet attachments only treat a fraction of your water, they need constant replacement, and they can’t handle the volume a household actually uses. The CityLux treats every gallon that enters your home — kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, everything — at the point of entry. One system, whole-home results.

Serving Western PA & Eastern OH

We install CityLux systems for homeowners on municipal water across Mercer, Crawford, Venango, Erie, Lawrence, and Butler counties in Pennsylvania, and Ashtabula, Trumbull, Mahoning, and Columbiana counties in Ohio.

I had the pleasure of having Sam and Hunter for the installation of my new water softener, and I couldn’t be more impressed! They were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. The system is working great, and I can already notice a difference in the water quality. Highly recommend!

We chose Chatfield drilling for our collapsed well, and we're glad we did! Matt & his team arrived quickly to assess the situation. This company is very professional, and provides excellent service with affordable pricing. We are beyond pleased, and have fantastic water!

Chatfield Drilling replaced a submersible pump, extended our well casing above ground, and installed a sanitary cap at our farm house. Both Matt and Sam were happy to answer all of our questions. Amazing to deal with, thank you!
