Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a byproduct that can form when chlorine dioxide is used to disinfect water. It’s different from chlorine, though it can appear for similar treatment reasons: to help keep systems free of microbes. Because chlorite dissolves in water, it often doesn’t alter the taste, odor, or appearance of tap water, so Leonia homeowners may first learn about it from a utility notice or a water test rather than from anything they notice at the sink.
If chlorite levels make you uneasy, it can reduce your comfort with water you cook with, drink, or use for bathing. Families in Leonia sometimes choose to lower chlorite exposure as a precaution, especially when caring for sensitive household members. Simple pitcher filters and basic sediment cartridges usually won’t remove chlorite effectively, which is why treating the whole house ensures consistent protection at every faucet, shower, and appliance.
The most effective single whole-house filter for chlorite is catalytic carbon. This media is designed to promote reactions on its surface that help convert and reduce certain oxidizing byproducts compared with standard activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved, a system needs sufficient contact time and the right media to work reliably; a properly sized catalytic carbon tank installed on the main line treats incoming water before it spreads through your Leonia home.
A whole-house catalytic carbon system is usually placed after the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and daily water use without changing how you live in Leonia. It’s often paired with a sediment prefilter to keep the carbon bed performing well over time, with the catalytic carbon serving as the primary stage for reducing chlorite. With one correctly sized system, you won’t need multiple point-of-use filters or to guess which taps are treated—Mr. Pure Water can help size and configure the tank to meet your household flow and water goals.
