Including filter system and high-performance Chlorate filter.
Chlorate is a chemical byproduct that can form when certain disinfectants break down or from some industrial processes, and it can appear in either municipal or well supplies depending on the source. It’s usually colorless and odorless, so you won’t detect it by smell or taste—testing is the only way to know what’s in your Scanlon home’s water and to plan the right treatment.
If testing identifies elevated chlorate, many Scanlon homeowners prefer a solution that protects every tap, not just a single point. Treating water where it enters the house covers cooking, ice makers, tooth brushing and bathing, and often reduces the hassle of maintaining multiple under-sink units. A whole-house system provides consistent treatment for changing water conditions across your property.
One of the most effective single-filter methods for reducing chlorate is a reverse osmosis system, which uses a semipermeable membrane to reject dissolved salts and oxidized byproducts. Because chlorate behaves like a dissolved ion, an RO membrane is well suited to target it. In a whole-house configuration the RO membrane serves as the main treatment stage, producing treated water for the home while concentrating waste to drain; correct sizing ensures it meets everyday flow and pressure needs in Scanlon homes.
Whole-house RO installations typically include sediment and carbon prefilters to protect the membrane from particles and oxidizers that could shorten its life. The RO membrane then does the primary removal of chlorate, while installation planning addresses drain access and storage or delivery to maintain steady pressure. Mr. Pure Water can review your Scanlon water test results and household use to determine whether whole-house reverse osmosis is the right fit.
