Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a dissolved byproduct that can appear in drinking water when utilities use chlorine dioxide for disinfection. It’s not the same as chlorine, but like other disinfectant residuals it can be present in municipal supplies that protect against microbes. Because chlorite stays dissolved, it often won’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of your tap water—so many Lely Resort homeowners first notice it through a utility report or a private water test rather than by sensory clues.
If chlorite levels give you pause, it’s understandable to want that removed from the water you drink, cook with, and bathe in. Residents of Lely Resort and nearby Collier County communities often choose to lower exposure for sensitive family members even when water appears fine. Simple pitcher filters and basic sediment cartridges usually won’t address dissolved chlorite across a whole house, which is why homeowners frequently opt for a single whole-house solution so every faucet, shower, and appliance receives the same treated water.
The most effective single whole-house filter for chlorite is catalytic carbon. Unlike standard activated carbon, catalytic carbon is formulated to encourage surface reactions that reduce certain oxidizing byproducts. Because chlorite is dissolved, the system needs adequate contact time and the correct media to work reliably; a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank installed at the main line treats water before it flows through the rest of your Lely Resort home.
A whole-house catalytic carbon system is normally placed after the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and everyday water use without changing household routines. In Collier County homes with hard water—like many in Lely Resort—a sediment prefilter is often paired with the carbon to reduce scale and keep the media working efficiently over time, but the catalytic carbon remains the primary stage for reducing chlorite. Mr. Pure Water can help size and configure the tank to match your household’s flow needs and water quality goals.
