Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite can form as a byproduct when systems use chlorine dioxide for disinfection, and it’s distinct from chlorine itself. Because chlorite stays dissolved it often won’t alter the taste, odor, or appearance of your tap water, so many Everglades homeowners first hear about it through a utility notice or a private water test. In coastal Collier County areas and neighborhoods like Everglades City or Chokoloskee, awareness is especially useful when preparing for storm season and related water system stress.
If you’d rather limit chlorite exposure for your family—especially for sensitive members—point-of-use pitchers and basic sediment cartridges usually aren’t enough. In the Everglades’ hard, mineral-rich water, whole-house treatment gives a consistent layer of protection for drinking, cooking, and bathing. Installing a single system at the main line means every faucet, shower, and appliance in your home receives the same treated water without constant maintenance of multiple filters.
For chlorite reduction, catalytic carbon is the most effective single whole-house filter type. This media is designed to promote chemical reactions on the carbon surface that help reduce certain oxidizing byproducts more reliably than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved, successful reduction depends on adequate contact time and the correct media—so a properly sized catalytic carbon tank installed on the main supply is the recommended solution for Everglades homes.
A whole-house catalytic carbon system is typically placed after the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and daily water use throughout the home without altering household routines. In Everglades properties—where hard water and occasional storm-driven sediment can affect systems—pairing the carbon with a sediment prefilter helps preserve media life and performance. Mr. Pure Water can assess your flow needs and recommend the right catalytic carbon tank size and configuration for Everglades houses from Ochopee to Carnestown.
