Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a disinfection byproduct that can form when utilities use chlorine dioxide to treat water. It isn’t the same as chlorine, though it appears for similar microbial-control reasons, and because it stays dissolved in water it may not change taste, odor, or clarity at your kitchen faucet. Many Delta homeowners first encounter chlorite through a utility notice or an independent water test rather than by noticing anything different about the water itself.
If you’d rather lower chlorite levels as a precaution, especially for children or sensitive household members, a whole-house strategy gives consistent protection for drinking, cooking, and bathing. Simple pitchers or basic sediment cartridges usually won’t address chlorite effectively. Installing treatment at the point where water enters your Delta home treats every faucet and appliance at once, avoiding the need to manage multiple point-of-use devices.
The most effective single whole-house filter for chlorite is catalytic carbon. Unlike standard activated carbon, catalytic carbon promotes reactions at the carbon surface that help reduce certain oxidizing byproducts. Because chlorite stays dissolved, reliable reduction requires sufficient contact time and the appropriate media; a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank installed on the main line provides that treatment before water distributes through the house.
Typically installed after the main shutoff, a whole-house catalytic carbon system protects your Delta plumbing, fixtures, and daily water use without changing how you live. Pairing it with a sediment prefilter can help preserve the carbon bed’s performance over time, but the catalytic carbon is the primary stage for reducing chlorite. Mr. Pure Water will help size and configure the tank to match your household’s flow needs and water-quality goals so every tap is treated reliably.
