Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a byproduct that can form in drinking water when chlorine dioxide is used to disinfect. It’s a different compound than chlorine, though it may appear in systems managed for the same microbial protections. Because chlorite is dissolved, it often won’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of tap water, so many Lakemont homeowners only discover it through utility notices or a private water test.
If you’re uneasy about chlorite levels, that concern is understandable—especially for families with sensitive members who use water for cooking, drinking, and bathing. Simple pitcher filters and basic sediment cartridges usually won’t remove dissolved chlorite effectively. In Lakemont, where hard, mineral-rich groundwater from the Floridan Aquifer can already stress fixtures and appliances, a whole-house solution treats water at the point it enters your home so every faucet and shower 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 reactions on its surface that help reduce certain oxidizing byproducts. Because chlorite is dissolved, adequate contact time and the proper media are essential—so a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank installed at the main line is the reliable way to treat water before it reaches the rest of your Lakemont home.
A whole-house catalytic carbon system is usually placed just after the main shutoff to protect plumbing, fixtures, and daily water use without altering your routine. Pairing it with a sediment prefilter can extend the carbon bed’s life, but catalytic carbon remains the primary stage for reducing chlorite. With one installed system, you won’t need multiple point-of-use devices or worry which taps are treated—Mr. Pure Water can size and configure the tank to fit your household flow needs and water quality goals in Lakemont.
