Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite can form as a byproduct when water utilities use chlorine dioxide to disinfect, and it’s different from chlorine even though both relate to keeping microbes at bay. Because chlorite dissolves into the water, it often won’t change taste, smell, or appearance, so homeowners in Chatham may only hear about it through a utility notice or a lab water test.
If chlorite levels make you uneasy, it’s understandable to want to limit exposure for drinking, cooking, and bathing at your Chatham house—especially for sensitive family members. Simple pitcher filters and basic sediment cartridges usually aren’t enough; treating water at the point it enters the home gives every faucet, shower, and appliance consistent protection.
For reducing chlorite, catalytic carbon is the most effective single whole-house media. It’s designed to encourage reactions on the carbon surface that help convert and reduce certain oxidizing byproducts more effectively than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved in water, you need sufficient contact time and the correct media—so a properly sized catalytic carbon tank on the main line is recommended for Chatham homes.
A whole-house catalytic carbon system is usually placed after the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and everyday water use without changing routines in your Chatham home. Pairing the carbon with a sediment prefilter can help preserve bed life, but catalytic carbon remains the primary stage for lowering chlorite. Mr. Pure Water can assess your household flow and recommend the right tank size and setup to meet your water goals.
