Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite forms as a byproduct when chlorine dioxide is used to disinfect water; it’s a different compound than chlorine but can appear for similar treatment reasons. Because chlorite stays dissolved, it often won’t alter the taste, smell, or appearance of tap water, which is why many Alpine homeowners first hear about it from a utility notice or lab test rather than by noticing something different at the sink.
If you’re uneasy about chlorite levels, it’s understandable to want to limit exposure for drinking, cooking, and bathing—especially in a humid subtropical place like Alpine where families value reliable indoor water. Small pitchers or basic sediment filters usually won’t remove dissolved byproducts like chlorite, so a whole-house solution is often the simplest way to ensure every faucet and appliance receives the same treated water.
The single most effective whole-house filtration media for chlorite is catalytic carbon. Engineered to encourage reactions on its surface, catalytic carbon outperforms standard activated carbon for reducing certain oxidizing byproducts. Because chlorite is dissolved, achieving enough contact time and using the correct media are key—so a properly sized catalytic carbon tank installed at the main line is the recommended approach for Alpine homes.
A catalytic carbon whole-house system is normally placed after the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and daily water use without changing routines. Pairing it with a sediment prefilter can help preserve the carbon bed’s effectiveness, but the catalytic carbon is the primary stage for reducing chlorite.
