Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a chemical byproduct that can appear in drinking water when chlorine dioxide is used for disinfection. It’s different from chlorine, though both relate to efforts to keep water systems free of microbes. Because chlorite stays dissolved, it may not change the taste, smell, or appearance of your tap water, so many Franjo homeowners only discover it through a utility notice or lab test.
If you’re uneasy about chlorite levels, it can affect how comfortable you feel using local water for cooking, drinking, and bathing. Some families in Franjo choose to lower chlorite exposure for children or sensitive household members even when water seems normal. Pitcher filters and simple sediment cartridges usually don’t address chlorite effectively, which is why treating the whole house ensures every faucet, shower, and appliance receives the same protection.
The single most effective whole-house filter type for chlorite is catalytic carbon. This media is designed to encourage reactions on its surface that help convert and reduce certain oxidizing byproducts more reliably than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved, you need adequate contact time and the correct media; a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank installed at the main line treats water before it circulates through your Franjo home.
A whole-house catalytic carbon system is usually placed after the main shutoff so it safeguards plumbing, fixtures, and everyday water use without disrupting your routine. Pairing it with a sediment prefilter can help protect the carbon bed and maintain performance, but catalytic carbon is the primary stage for reducing chlorite. With one properly configured system, you won’t need multiple point-of-use filters or wonder which taps are treated—Mr. Pure Water can assess your Franjo household’s flow needs and recommend the right tank size and setup.
