Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite can form as a byproduct when chlorine dioxide is used to disinfect drinking water. It’s different from chlorine but can appear for similar reasons: protecting water systems from microbes. Because chlorite stays dissolved, it often won’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of tap water, so Littman homeowners typically learn about it from a utility notice or a lab test rather than from sensory clues.
If chlorite levels make you uneasy, it’s understandable to want cleaner water for cooking, drinking, and bathing around your Littman home—especially when household members are sensitive. Simple pitchers and basic sediment cartridges usually won’t remove dissolved chlorite effectively. That’s why many local families choose a whole-house solution so every faucet, shower, and appliance receives the same treated water.
The single most effective whole-house filter type for chlorite is catalytic carbon. Unlike standard activated carbon, catalytic carbon encourages reactions on the media surface that help reduce certain oxidizing byproducts. Because chlorite is dissolved, a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank with adequate contact time is needed on the main line to treat water before it flows through a Littman residence.
A whole-house catalytic carbon system is normally installed after the main shutoff so it protects your plumbing, fixtures, and everyday water use without changing daily routines. Pairing it with a sediment prefilter can prolong the carbon bed’s life, but the catalytic carbon remains the primary stage for reducing chlorite. Mr. Pure Water can help Littman homeowners choose the right tank size and configuration to meet household flow needs and water quality goals.
