Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite can form in drinking water when chlorine dioxide is used to disinfect supplies. It’s a different compound than chlorine, but it can appear for similar treatment reasons and is dissolved so it may not change the taste, odor, or appearance of your tap water. Leesburg homeowners often discover it through a municipal water quality report or a private lab test rather than by sight or smell.
If you’re uneasy about chlorite levels, it can affect how comfortable you feel using your water for cooking, drinking, or bathing — especially for sensitive family members. Simple pitchers or basic sediment cartridges usually won’t remove it reliably. In Lake County homes, including those around Downtown Leesburg and Lake Harris Shores, a whole-house system treats water once at the point of entry so every shower, faucet, and appliance gets consistent protection.
The most effective single whole-house filter for chlorite is catalytic carbon. This media is manufactured to encourage reactions on its surface that reduce certain oxidizing byproducts more effectively than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved, you need adequate contact time and the correct media — a properly sized catalytic carbon tank on the main line provides that treatment before water distributes through your Leesburg home.
A catalytic carbon whole-house system is normally plumbed in after the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and everyday water use without changing household routines. Pairing it with a sediment prefilter helps protect the carbon bed from the mineral scale common in hard Central Florida water. With one point-of-entry system you avoid juggling multiple point-of-use devices; Mr. Pure Water can help size and configure the catalytic carbon tank to match your home’s flow needs and water goals.
