Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite can form when utilities use chlorine dioxide as a disinfectant, producing this dissolved byproduct in drinking water. It’s different from chlorine, but like other disinfection leftovers it can be present even when water looks and smells normal, so you may not notice it by taste or odor. Montverde homeowners commonly find out about chlorite through a utility notice or after having a private water test performed.
If chlorite levels worry you, it’s understandable to want the same clean water for cooking, drinking, and bathing across your whole Montverde house. Simple pitchers or basic sediment cartridges don’t reliably address dissolved byproducts like chlorite. A whole-house system gives consistent treatment to every faucet and appliance — important in Lake County where mineral-rich, hard groundwater can already stress plumbing and water-using equipment.
The single most effective whole-house filter type for chlorite is catalytic carbon. Unlike standard activated carbon, catalytic carbon is designed to encourage reactions at the media surface that help reduce certain oxidizing byproducts. Because chlorite is dissolved, successful removal depends on adequate contact time and the correct media; a properly sized catalytic carbon tank placed on the main line provides that treatment before water reaches the rest of your Montverde home.
A whole-house catalytic carbon system is usually installed downstream of the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and appliances throughout your Montverde property without altering daily routines. Pairing the tank with a sediment prefilter can help preserve carbon performance over time, but the catalytic carbon is the primary stage for reducing chlorite. Mr. Pure Water will assess your household flow needs and the hard, mineral-rich water common in Lake County to recommend the right tank size and configuration.
