Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite can appear in drinking water as a byproduct when utilities use chlorine dioxide for disinfection. It’s a different compound than chlorine, though it can arise for similar protective reasons. Because chlorite stays dissolved, it won’t always change the taste, smell, or appearance of your tap water, so many Esto homeowners only find out about it from a utility notice or a private water test.
If chlorite levels make you uneasy, it can undermine trust in the water you cook with, drink, and bathe in around your Esto home. Some households—especially those with children or chemically sensitive members—choose to reduce exposure even when water seems acceptable. Simple pitcher filters or basic sediment cartridges usually won’t address chlorite reliably; treating water at the point it enters the house ensures every faucet, shower, and appliance receives the same protection.
The single most effective whole-house filter for chlorite is catalytic carbon. Unlike standard activated carbon, catalytic carbon is designed to encourage surface reactions that help convert and reduce certain oxidizing byproducts. Because chlorite is dissolved in water, you need sufficient contact time and the correct media to remove it dependably—so a properly sized catalytic carbon tank on the main line is the right choice for Esto homes.
A catalytic carbon whole-house system is usually installed after the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and daily water use without changing how you live in Esto. Pairing the carbon with a sediment prefilter can extend bed life when needed, but the catalytic carbon is the principal stage for reducing chlorite. With one correctly chosen system, you don’t need multiple point-of-use units or to guess which taps are treated—Mr. Pure Water can help size and configure the tank to meet your household flow and water-quality goals.
