Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a byproduct that can form when systems use chlorine dioxide for disinfection. It’s different from chlorine, but it can appear for similar reasons—because treatment chemicals are used to keep water safe. Because chlorite is dissolved, it often doesn’t change the appearance, smell, or flavor of tap water, so many West Palm Beach residents in Century Village first hear about it through a utility notice or a lab test rather than by taste or smell.
If you’re uneasy about chlorite levels, it’s understandable — it can affect how comfortable you feel using your water for drinking, cooking, and bathing. Some households in Palm Beach County, especially those with sensitive family members, choose to reduce exposure even when water looks and tastes normal. Because typical pitcher filters and simple sediment cartridges won’t reliably remove dissolved chlorite, a whole-house system offers consistent treatment for every faucet and appliance in your home, which is especially convenient in our humid subtropical climate where hard water and limescale are already concerns.
For reducing chlorite throughout the home, catalytic carbon is the most effective single whole-house filter media. Catalytic carbon is manufactured to encourage chemical reactions on its surface, improving reduction of certain oxidizing byproducts compared with regular activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved, the media and contact time matter — a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank installed on the main line gives the residence the best chance to treat water before it travels to showers, sinks, and appliances.
A whole-house catalytic carbon system is usually placed after the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and everyday water use without changing how you live in Century Village. Pairing the carbon tank with a sediment prefilter helps prevent premature clogging and keeps the carbon working efficiently, but catalytic carbon remains the primary stage for lowering chlorite. Mr. Pure Water can assess your home’s flow needs, factor in Palm Beach County’s hard water considerations, and recommend the right tank size and setup to meet your household’s goals.
