Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite can form as a byproduct when chlorine dioxide is used to disinfect water. It’s different from chlorine but can appear for similar protective reasons, and because it stays dissolved it may not change the taste, odor, or appearance of your tap water. In Benbow, homeowners often discover it through utility notices or independent water testing rather than by smelling or seeing anything at the faucet.
If you’re uncomfortable with chlorite levels, it’s understandable to want the whole house treated — for drinking, cooking, and bathing. Many families in our humid subtropical area with hard, mineral-rich water prefer a comprehensive solution rather than relying on pitcher filters or single-tap cartridges. Treating water at the main line ensures consistent protection across every shower, sink, and appliance.
The most effective single whole-house filter for chlorite is catalytic carbon. This media is designed to encourage reactions on its surface that reduce certain oxidizing byproducts more effectively than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved, you need sufficient contact time and the appropriate media — a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank at your main line provides that treatment before water circulates through the home.
A whole-house catalytic carbon system is installed after the main shutoff to protect plumbing, fixtures, and daily water use without changing how you live. In Benbow’s hard-water conditions, pairing the catalytic carbon with a sediment prefilter can help prevent mineral and particulates from shortening the carbon bed’s life, while leaving the catalytic carbon as the primary stage for reducing chlorite. Mr. Pure Water will assess your household flow needs and recommend the right tank size and configuration for reliable, whole-home treatment.
