Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a byproduct that can form when utilities use chlorine dioxide for disinfection; it’s distinct from chlorine but may arise for similar microbiological control reasons. Because chlorite stays dissolved, you might not notice any change in taste, smell, or appearance when it’s present, so many Keela homeowners first learn about it from a utility notice or a lab test. In Florida’s humid subtropical environment, treatment needs can vary with source water and system conditions, so testing is the reliable way to know whether chlorite is a concern in your plumbing.
If chlorite levels make you uneasy, it’s understandable to want to reduce exposure for drinking, cooking, and bathing—especially for sensitive family members. Simple pitcher filters or basic sediment cartridges usually won’t be enough to address dissolved chlorite. Many Keela families find a whole-house solution more reassuring because it treats water at the point it enters the home, delivering consistent protection to every faucet, shower, and appliance.
The single most effective whole-house filter type for chlorite is catalytic carbon. Unlike standard activated carbon, catalytic carbon is designed to promote reactions on its surface that help reduce certain oxidizing byproducts; because chlorite is dissolved, having enough contact time and the correct media is important. Installing a properly sized catalytic carbon tank on the main line ensures water is treated before it circulates through a Keela home’s plumbing.
A whole-house catalytic carbon system is usually installed after the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and everyday water use without changing household routines. Pairing the tank with a sediment prefilter can help preserve carbon performance over time, but catalytic carbon is the stage that targets chlorite reduction. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Keela home’s flow needs and recommend the right tank size and setup so every tap receives treated water without juggling multiple point-of-use devices.
