Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite can form as a byproduct when systems use chlorine dioxide for disinfection. It’s distinct from chlorine but can appear for the same reason—treatment to keep water microbiologically safe. Because chlorite stays dissolved, it doesn’t always alter taste, odor, or clarity, so many Bertha homeowners first find out about it from a utility notice or a lab test rather than by smelling or seeing their water.
If you’d rather lower chlorite in your household water, a whole-home strategy gives consistent coverage to drinking, cooking, and bathing taps. That’s especially useful in Bertha where hard water and scale from limestone-influenced groundwater already affect fixtures and appliances—addressing chlorite at the main line means every outlet receives the same treatment, rather than relying on point-of-use pitchers or simple cartridges that won’t fully solve dissolved byproducts.
The single most effective whole-house filter for chlorite is catalytic carbon. This media is designed to encourage reactions on its surface, helping reduce certain oxidizing byproducts more effectively than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved, a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank with sufficient contact time is needed to treat water reliably before it circulates through a Bertha home.
A catalytic carbon whole-house system is usually installed after the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and everyday water use without changing how you live. Pairing it with a sediment prefilter can be helpful in Bertha’s hard-water environment to prevent scale and particulates from shortening the carbon bed’s life, but the catalytic carbon remains the primary stage for reducing chlorite. Mr. Pure Water can assess your household flow needs and recommend the right tank size and setup for reliable, whole-home treatment.
