Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a chemical byproduct that can form when chlorine dioxide is used to disinfect water. It’s different from chlorine, though it may appear in the same settings where utilities work to control microbes. Because chlorite stays dissolved, it often won’t alter the taste, smell, or appearance of your tap water — many Broward County homeowners only discover it through a utility report or a lab test.
If chlorite levels make you uneasy, it can be unsettling to think about using that water for cooking, drinking, or bathing. Families in Broward County—where much of the supply comes from the Biscayne Aquifer and water is commonly hard—sometimes choose to reduce chlorite exposure for vulnerable household members. Simple pitchers or basic sediment cartridges usually aren’t enough; a whole-house system treats water at the point it enters your home so every faucet, shower, and appliance receives consistent protection.
The most effective single whole-house filter for chlorite is catalytic carbon. This media is designed to encourage reactions at the carbon surface that help convert and reduce certain oxidizing byproducts more effectively than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved in water, the system needs adequate contact time and the right media to work reliably—making a properly sized catalytic carbon tank on the main line the recommended solution for Broward County homes.
A whole-house catalytic carbon system is usually installed after the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and everyday water use without changing your routine. In Broward County, pairing the carbon tank with a sediment prefilter can help manage the region’s hard water and reduce scale-related deposits that might shorten media life, while keeping the catalytic carbon as the primary chlorite-reduction stage. Mr. Pure Water can assess household flow needs and recommend the correct tank size and setup to ensure every tap in your home is treated.
