If you’ve noticed your tap water smells like chlorine or tastes off — especially during spring — you’re not alone.
Every year in Edmonton, seasonal changes in the North Saskatchewan River bring increased sediment and organic material into the water supply. To keep water safe, treatment facilities increase disinfectants like chloramine.
✔ Water remains safe
❌ But taste, smell, and comfort are affected
That’s where a properly installed water filtration system makes the difference.

FAQs — Water Filtration Edmonton
Is Edmonton tap water safe to drink?
Yes. It is treated and safe, but may contain chlorine, chloramine, and organic compounds that affect taste and comfort.
Why does my water smell like chlorine?
During spring runoff, treatment plants increase disinfection due to higher organic content in river water.

Partially. Most basic filters do not fully remove chloramine.
What is the best system for Edmonton homes?
A properly sized whole-home carbon filtration system, often combined with a water softener.
