Why Does My Water Taste Bad?

Bad-tasting water is a sign of water quality issues — and Aqua Logic can identify and fix the cause.

Common Causes of Bad-Tasting Water

Chlorine taste

City water is treated with chlorine — effective for disinfection but leaves an unpleasant taste and odor. A whole-house carbon filter or under-sink filter removes it.

Metallic taste

Iron, manganese, or copper in your water creates a metallic flavor. Common in Citrus County well water. Iron removal or filtration solves this.

Sulfur taste

Hydrogen sulfide gives water a rotten egg taste and smell. Air injection or carbon filtration eliminates it.

Salty or mineral taste

High TDS (total dissolved solids) or hardness minerals can give water a flat, mineral-heavy taste. Reverse osmosis removes dissolved solids effectively.

Earthy or musty taste

Algae, bacteria, or organic matter in the water supply or pipes. Carbon filtration and UV disinfection address this.
