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 uses—so it may appear in either municipal or well supplies depending on the source. Because chlorate is usually colorless and odorless, you won’t detect it by smell or taste alone. The only reliable way to know what’s in your water is to have it tested and to follow a treatment plan tailored for your New Harmony household.
When testing shows higher chlorate levels, many New Harmony homeowners prefer a solution that protects every tap, not just a single point. That’s important because water is used throughout the day for cooking, ice, brushing teeth, and bathing, so treating it at the point it enters the home provides consistent protection. A whole-house strategy also simplifies maintenance versus multiple under-sink units, helping keep water quality steady as conditions change.
For reducing chlorate, a dedicated reverse osmosis system is one of the most effective single-filter options because its semipermeable membrane rejects many dissolved salts and oxidized byproducts. Chlorate acts like a dissolved ion in water, which is exactly what RO membranes are designed to target. In a whole-house configuration the RO membrane is the main treatment stage, delivering treated water for your New Harmony home while sending a concentrated waste stream to drain; proper system sizing ensures adequate flow for everyday use.
Whole-house reverse osmosis installations typically include prefilters to protect the membrane and keep it operating efficiently—sediment and carbon stages remove particles and oxidizers that can shorten membrane life, while the RO does the primary chlorate reduction. Because RO produces a wastewater stream, planning the install involves drain access and storage or delivery arrangements to maintain steady pressure. Mr. Pure Water can review your New Harmony water test and usage to determine if whole-house RO is the right fit for your home.
