Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a byproduct that can form when systems use chlorine dioxide for disinfection. It’s different from chlorine but can appear for many of the same reasons—treating water to control microbes. Because chlorite stays dissolved, it often won’t change the taste, smell, or clarity of water coming from your Lois faucets, so most homeowners only discover it through utility notices or water testing.
If levels of chlorite make you uneasy, it can undermine confidence in the water you drink, cook with, and bathe in at home. Many Lois families choose to reduce exposure for children, seniors, or anyone with sensitivities even when the water looks and smells normal. Simple pitcher filters and basic sediment cartridges usually won’t remove dissolved chlorite reliably, which is why a whole-house system that treats all incoming water is often the preferred solution.
The single most effective whole-house filter media for chlorite is catalytic carbon. Unlike standard activated carbon, catalytic carbon is designed to encourage reactions on its surface that can help reduce certain oxidizing byproducts. Because chlorite is dissolved in water, you need adequate contact time and the appropriate media to remove it consistently; a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank installed at the main line provides that treatment before water is distributed through your Lois home.
A catalytic carbon whole-house system is normally fitted after the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and everyday water use without changing household routines. Pairing it with a sediment prefilter can help preserve carbon performance over time, but the catalytic carbon stage is the primary defense against chlorite.
