Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite can form as a byproduct when chlorine dioxide is used to disinfect water, and it’s different from chlorine even though both are tied to similar treatment processes. Because chlorite dissolves into the water, it often won’t alter taste, odor, or appearance, so Chapel Hill homeowners may only find out about it from a utility notice or lab test rather than by smell or sight.
If you’d rather limit chlorite in the water you drink, cook with, and bathe in, a whole-house solution gives peace of mind across your Chapel Hill property. Point-of-use pitchers and simple sediment cartridges usually won’t address dissolved byproducts reliably, so treating water at the main line ensures consistent protection for everyone in the household, including more sensitive family members.
The single most effective whole-house filter for chlorite is catalytic carbon. That media is designed to encourage reactions on the carbon surface that reduce certain oxidizing byproducts more effectively than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite stays dissolved, you need sufficient contact time and the proper media — a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank at the main service will provide that treatment for your Chapel Hill home.
A catalytic carbon whole-house system is usually placed after the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and everyday water use without changing how you live in Chapel Hill. Often paired with a sediment prefilter to preserve the carbon bed, the catalytic carbon stage handles the bulk of chlorite reduction so you won’t have to manage multiple point filters.
