Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite can form as a byproduct when water is treated with chlorine dioxide for disinfection. It’s different from chlorine, though it appears for similar reasons tied to keeping distribution systems free of microbes. Because chlorite stays dissolved, it may not change the smell, taste, or appearance of your tap water in Betts, so many homeowners only discover it from a utility notice or an independent water test.
If you’re uneasy about chlorite in the family water supply, that uncertainty can affect everyday activities like cooking, drinking, and bathing. Some Betts households choose to lower exposure for children or other sensitive family members even when water seems acceptable. Simple pitcher filters or basic sediment cartridges usually aren’t enough; treating water at the point it enters the house ensures every faucet and appliance receives consistent protection.
The single most effective whole-house option for chlorite is a catalytic carbon filter. Catalytic carbon is designed to encourage reactions on the carbon surface that help reduce certain oxidizing byproducts more effectively than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved, the system needs adequate contact time and properly selected media to work reliably, so a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank on the main line is key for treating water before it reaches plumbing throughout your Betts home.
A catalytic carbon whole-house unit is usually installed just after the main shutoff so it safeguards pipes, fixtures, and daily water use without altering how you live at home. Pairing it with a sediment prefilter can protect the carbon bed and extend its life, but catalytic carbon remains the primary stage for reducing chlorite. With one properly sized system in place, Betts homeowners don’t need multiple point-of-use filters or to guess which taps are treated — Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right tank size and setup for your household flow and goals.
