Whole-home carbon system that removes chlorine, taste, odor, and sediment from city water at the main line.
Municipal treatment gets water to the legal standard, not necessarily to water you want to drink and bathe in. A whole-house carbon system mounts at the main line, so every tap, shower, and appliance in the house draws water that has already passed through a tank of carbon media sized to your household's flow.
The distinction that matters on city water here is catalytic carbon. MAWSS disinfects with chlorine and chlorine dioxide (its 2025 water quality report notes chloramine was not used), and standard activated carbon handles plain chlorine well. Catalytic media earns its place because it also copes with chloramine, which some neighbouring systems and future treatment changes can bring, so the taste and odor come out whichever disinfectant arrives.
One tank at the main beats a drawer full of pitcher filters: no per-tap gadgets, no forgotten cartridges, and bath water gets the same treatment as drinking water. We size the system on a free in-home test, and the install carries a one-year parts and labor warranty.
In practice, filtration and softening are not two purchases here. The whole-house system we install pairs the carbon stage with a dual-tank softener at the same point on the main — carbon for the chlorine taste and odour, ion exchange for the calcium and magnesium — because a house on this coast rarely turns out to have only one of those problems. It is quoted, sized and serviced as one system.
Catalytic carbon handles MAWSS chlorine and any chloraminated supply; standard activated carbon is slow on chloramine.

A softener removes hardness and a carbon filter removes chlorine taste. On Mobile's soft, chlorinated water the filter often matters more. How to tell.
