Whole-Home Chlorine Removal for St. Louis Homes and Facilities
Chlorine stays in St. Louis water long after municipal treatment. It’s hard on skin, hair, fixtures, and equipment, and it changes how water tastes. Kinetico dechlorination systems strip chlorine before it reaches your plumbing, protecting your water and everything it touches.
How Whole-Home Dechlorination Works for St. Louis Water
A dechlorination system uses activated carbon to strip chlorine from your water line before it reaches sinks, showers, or equipment. As water moves through the carbon media, chlorine is captured and held, improving taste, protecting fixtures, and reducing wear on appliances.
The unit works automatically with every gallon that passes through it, without timers or electrical parts to manage.
Built Into Every Kinetico Installation:
Free water test measuring contaminant levels
Kinetico single-tank dechlorinator sized for your water flow
Professional installation by trained technicians
Whole-home or whole-facility chlorine removal
What’s Your Water Score?
Before you treat your water, you need to know what’s actually in it. We provide
free professional water testing that shows you exactly what contaminants and minerals are present – so you can make informed decisions about treatment.
What Chlorine Does to Your Water and Equipment
Municipal water treatment uses chlorine for disinfection, but the chlorine that kills bacteria also causes problems once it enters your home or facility.
Dry skin and damaged hair
Chlorine strips natural oils from skin and hair. Showers leave you feeling dry and irritated instead of clean and refreshed.
Unpleasant taste and odor
Chlorine creates a chemical taste in drinking water, coffee, and ice. The smell is especially noticeable in hot water and steam.
Fixture and equipment damage
Chlorine corrodes rubber seals, gaskets, and O-rings in faucets, appliances, and equipment. It shortens the lifespan of water heaters, dishwashers, and commercial equipment.
Health and comfort issues
Long-term chlorine exposure affects overall water quality and raises general health questions for families and facility staff.
Standalone or Integrated With Water Softeners
Kinetico dechlorinators work on their own or as part of a complete water treatment system. Many St. Louis homes and facilities combine dechlorination with water softening for comprehensive treatment. We can test your water and recommend the setup that fits what’s actually in your supply
For homes or facilities that don’t struggle with hard water but need chlorine gone.
- Removes chlorine across the entire building
- Improves taste and comfort at every tap
- Reduces wear on fixtures and equipment
Works without adding a softener
For properties that need chlorine removal and mineral reduction.
- Protects the softener from chlorine damage
- Removes hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium)
- Handles chlorine and scale in one system
Ideal for St. Louis water conditions with both issues present
How We Install Dechlorination Systems Across St. Louis
We handle the complete installation and make sure the system fits your water flow and usage patterns.
1. We test your water
We measure chlorine levels, hardness, and pH on-site. Takes 15-20 minutes. You see results immediately and we explain what treatment makes sense.
2. We recommend the best system
Based on test results, we recommend standalone dechlorination or an integrated system with water softening. Most St. Louis properties benefit from both.
3. We Install
We connect the system to your main water line, set up bypass valves, and configure operation. Installation typically takes 3-4 hours for standalone units.
4. We test and explain
We confirm chlorine removal, walk through maintenance (carbon filter replacement every 3-5 years), and answer questions before we leave.

What Homeowners and Facilities Across St. Louis Say About Us
Dechlorination Questions We Hear Most in St. Louis
Chlorine shows up in St. Louis water differently for every property. Homes notice it in taste and showers. Facilities see it in equipment wear. These questions cover the things people want to understand before installing a dechlorination system.
How do I know if I need chlorine removal?
If you notice a chemical smell in your water (especially hot water), dry skin after showering, or a chlorine taste in drinking water, you have elevated chlorine levels. Free water testing confirms how much chlorine is in your supply.
Does dechlorination work with well water?
Most well water doesn’t contain chlorine since it’s not municipally treated. If you’re on city water, you almost certainly have chlorine that needs removal.
Can I combine dechlorination with a water softener?
Yes. We often install integrated systems that remove both chlorine and hardness minerals. Dechlorination also protects the softener from chlorine damage, extending its service life.
Will removing chlorine make my water unsafe?
No. Chlorine has already handled disinfection by the time water reaches your home or facility. Removing it at the tap doesn’t create safety concerns.
What’s the difference between dechlorination and reverse osmosis for chlorine removal?
Dechlorination treats your entire water supply. Reverse osmosis is point-of-use. If you want chlorine removed from showers, washing machines, and all fixtures, dechlorination is the solution.
