Including filter system and high-performance Chlorate filter.
Chlorate is a chemical byproduct that can appear in drinking water when certain disinfectants break down or from some industrial activities, so it can turn up in both municipal and well supplies depending on the source. It’s usually colorless and odorless, so you won’t detect it by smell or taste. The only reliable way to know whether chlorate is present in your City Point water is to have it tested and then plan treatment based on those results.
When test results show elevated chlorate, many homeowners prefer a solution that protects the entire house rather than just a single tap. That makes sense in City Point where humid subtropical conditions and hard, mineral-rich groundwater can affect plumbing and daily use — you want safe water for cooking, ice, brushing teeth, and bathing. Treating water at the point it enters the home simplifies upkeep compared with multiple point-of-use units and provides consistent protection as water quality changes over time.
For reducing chlorate, a dedicated reverse osmosis system is one of the most effective single-filter choices because the semipermeable RO membrane rejects many dissolved salts and oxidized byproducts. Chlorate behaves like a dissolved ion in water, which RO is designed to target. In a whole-house configuration the RO membrane serves as the primary treatment stage, delivering treated water to the home while sending a concentrated waste stream to drain; proper sizing ensures adequate flow for everyday City Point household demand.
Whole-house RO installations typically include sediment and carbon prefilters to protect the membrane from particles and other oxidizers that can shorten its life, while the RO membrane handles chlorate removal. Because reverse osmosis produces a wastewater stream, planning for drain access and storage or pressure delivery is important to maintain steady flow. Mr. Pure Water can review your City Point water test results and usage to determine whether whole-house RO is the right fit for your home.
