Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite can form in drinking water when utilities use chlorine dioxide to disinfect—it's a different chemical than chlorine but appears for similar reasons. Because chlorite stays dissolved, it often doesn’t change the taste, odor, or appearance of your tap water, so Barth homeowners may first hear about it through a water test or their water supplier’s report. Recognizing the name—chlorite—helps you know what to ask about when checking local water quality.
If chlorite levels make you uneasy, it can be reassuring to reduce exposure for everyday uses like cooking, drinking, and bathing. Many families in Barth choose extra treatment for sensitive household members even when water seems normal. Because chlorite is dissolved, simple pitchers and basic sediment cartridges usually won’t do the job; a whole-house solution gives consistent protection to every faucet, shower, and appliance throughout your Barth home.
The single most effective whole-house filter for chlorite is catalytic carbon. Designed to encourage reactions on its surface, catalytic carbon reduces certain oxidizing byproducts more effectively than standard activated carbon. Treating dissolved chlorite reliably requires sufficient contact time and the proper media, so a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank installed at the main line will treat water before it reaches the rest of your Barth plumbing.
A whole-house catalytic carbon system is normally placed after the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and daily water use without changing how you live in Barth. Pairing the tank with a sediment prefilter when needed helps the carbon bed last longer, while the catalytic carbon stage remains the primary chlorite-reducing component. Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right tank size and configuration for your household flow and water goals so every tap in your Barth home receives treated water.
