Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite can form as a byproduct when systems use chlorine dioxide to disinfect water. It’s different from chlorine, but it can appear for similar reasons tied to keeping systems microbe-free. Because chlorite is dissolved, it won’t always change the taste, smell, or appearance of tap water, so many Heathrow homeowners first discover it through utility reports or lab tests rather than by noticing their water.
If you prefer to limit chlorite exposure for children, seniors, or anyone with sensitivities, a whole-house plan gives peace of mind for drinking, cooking, and bathing. Simple pitcher filters or basic sediment cartridges usually won’t address dissolved byproducts like chlorite. Treating water at the main line makes sure every faucet, shower and appliance in your Heathrow property receives consistent protection.
The single most effective whole-house filter type for chlorite is catalytic carbon. This media is designed to encourage reactions on the carbon surface that reduce certain oxidizing byproducts more reliably than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved, a properly sized catalytic carbon tank with sufficient contact time is needed to treat the water before it circulates through your home.
A catalytic carbon system is usually placed after the main shutoff so it protects Heathrow plumbing, fixtures, and daily water use without changing how you live. In Orange County’s hard-water environment—where Floridan Aquifer minerals can contribute to scale—a sediment prefilter is often paired up front to preserve carbon performance. With one whole-house catalytic carbon tank, you don’t have to manage multiple point-of-use units; Mr. Pure Water will help size and configure the system to meet your household flow and water-quality needs.
