Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a chemical byproduct that can appear in drinking water when utilities use chlorine dioxide for disinfection. It’s different from chlorine but can end up in the same places—dissolved in your water—so it doesn’t always change taste, smell, or appearance. In Modello, where some homes are on municipal systems and others rely on private wells, most homeowners first hear about chlorite through a water test or a utility notice.
If chlorite levels make you uneasy, it’s understandable to want to reduce exposure for drinking, cooking, and bathing—especially in households with sensitive family members. Simple pitcher filters or basic sediment cartridges usually won’t remove it effectively. In Modello, a whole-house solution treats water at the point it enters your home, so every shower, faucet, and appliance receives the same consistent protection regardless of source or local water hardness.
The best single whole-house option for chlorite is catalytic carbon. This media is designed to promote reactions on its surface that help convert and reduce certain oxidizing byproducts more effectively than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved, the system needs sufficient contact time and properly sized media to work reliably—so a catalytic carbon tank sized for your household flow belongs at the main supply line before water is distributed through your Modello home.
A catalytic carbon whole-house system is usually installed after the main shutoff, protecting plumbing, fixtures, and daily water use without changing your routine. Pairing it with a sediment prefilter can prolong carbon life when particulate is present, but the catalytic carbon stage is the key chlorite-reducing component.
