Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite can form in drinking water when utilities use chlorine dioxide for disinfection; it’s a distinct chemical from chlorine but may appear for similar treatment reasons. Because chlorite stays dissolved, it often doesn’t change the taste, odor, or appearance of tap water, so Avalon homeowners commonly discover it through a water test report or utility notice rather than sensory clues.
If you’re uneasy about chlorite levels, it’s understandable — it can affect how comfortable you feel using your tap water for cooking, drinking, and bathing. Many Avalon families choose to reduce exposure for children or sensitive household members. Simple pitchers or basic sediment cartridges usually don’t address chlorite effectively, which is why a whole-house system is recommended so every faucet, shower, and appliance in your home is treated consistently.
The single most effective whole-house filter type for chlorite is catalytic carbon. This media is designed to encourage surface reactions that help convert and reduce certain oxidizing byproducts better than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved, achieving sufficient contact time and the correct media is important — a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank installed at the main line treats water before it reaches the rest of your Avalon home.
A whole-house catalytic carbon system is usually placed after the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and everyday water use without changing your routine. Pairing the carbon with a sediment prefilter can extend bed life and maintain performance, but catalytic carbon is the primary stage for reducing chlorite. With one properly configured tank, you won’t need separate point-of-use filters or worry which taps are treated — Mr. Pure Water can size and configure the system to meet your Avalon household’s flow and water-quality needs.
