Including filter system and high-performance Chlorate filter.
Chlorate is a chemical byproduct that can form when certain disinfectants break down, and it can also be linked to some industrial activities—so it may appear in both municipal and well water depending on the source. Because chlorate is usually colorless and odorless, you won’t be able to detect it by taste or smell alone. The only reliable way to know what's in your Betts water is to test it and follow a clear treatment plan tailored to your home.
When testing indicates higher chlorate, many Betts homeowners prefer a solution that treats every tap rather than just the kitchen sink. That’s important because water is used throughout the day for cooking, making ice, brushing teeth and showering. Treating the water at the point it enters your house keeps things simpler than installing multiple point-of-use filters, and a whole-house system is intended to provide consistent protection as water conditions change over time.
For reducing chlorate, a dedicated reverse osmosis (RO) system is one of the most effective single-filter options because its semipermeable membrane rejects many dissolved salts and oxidized byproducts. Chlorate behaves like a dissolved ion, which is exactly the type of contaminant RO is designed to target. In a whole-house configuration the RO membrane is the primary treatment stage, delivering treated water to the home while concentrating rejected contaminants to a drain; correctly sizing the system helps preserve flow and performance for everyday household needs in Betts.
A whole-house RO installation typically includes sediment and carbon prefilters to protect the membrane and extend its service life by reducing particles and other oxidizers. The RO membrane then provides the main removal for chlorate. Because reverse osmosis produces a wastewater stream, planning the installation focuses on drain access and how to store or deliver treated water to maintain steady pressure. Mr. Pure Water can review your Betts water test results and household usage to determine whether whole-house RO is the right fit.
