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 a different compound than chlorine, but it can appear for similar treatment reasons and is dissolved in the water, so it may not affect taste, odor, or clarity. New Harmony homeowners usually learn about it from a utility notice or a private water test rather than from anything visible coming from the tap.
If chlorite levels concern you, it’s understandable to want reassurance for the water your family uses to drink, cook, and bathe in around New Harmony. Many residents choose to lower exposure for sensitive household members even when water looks and smells normal. Because chlorite is dissolved, common pitcher filters or simple sediment cartridges typically won’t address it—so a whole-house solution ensures consistent treatment at every faucet and shower in your home.
The single most effective whole-house filter type for chlorite is catalytic carbon. This media is designed to promote reactions on the carbon surface that reduce certain oxidizing byproducts more effectively than standard activated carbon. Since chlorite is dissolved, reliable removal depends on the right contact time and media—so a properly sized catalytic carbon tank installed on the main feed treats water before it circulates through a New Harmony house.
A catalytic carbon whole-house system is usually placed after the main shutoff to protect plumbing, fixtures, and daily water use without changing household routines. Pairing it with a sediment prefilter can extend the life and performance of the carbon bed, but catalytic carbon remains the primary stage for reducing chlorite.
