Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a dissolved byproduct that can form when water systems use chlorine dioxide to disinfect. It’s different from chlorine but can appear for similar treatment reasons, and because it stays dissolved you may not notice any change in taste, odor, or clarity from your faucets. In Palm Beach, homeowners typically learn about chlorite from utility notices or private testing rather than by sight or smell, so testing is the most reliable way to know what’s in your water.
If chlorite levels make you uneasy, it’s understandable—many families in Palm Beach prefer to limit exposure for young children, older adults, or anyone sensitive to water quality. Simple countertop pitchers and basic sediment cartridges usually won’t remove dissolved chlorite effectively. A whole-house system treats water at the point it enters your home—helping ensure consistent protection for showers, drinking water, cooking, and appliances across neighborhoods from the Town of Palm Beach to Midtown and the Estate Section.
The single most effective whole-house filter type for chlorite is catalytic carbon. This media is designed to promote surface reactions that reduce certain oxidizing byproducts more effectively than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved, the system needs adequate contact time and properly sized media to work reliably—so a correctly specified catalytic carbon tank on the main line is the recommended solution for Palm Beach homes dealing with dissolved contaminants.
A catalytic carbon whole-house system is usually installed after your main shutoff so it treats water before it reaches plumbing, fixtures, and appliances—helpful in Palm Beach where hard water and limescale can already stress systems. Pairing the carbon with a sediment prefilter keeps the media working efficiently over time, but the catalytic carbon remains the primary stage for reducing chlorite. Mr. Pure Water will assess your household flow needs and water characteristics to size and configure the tank properly so every tap in your home is covered.
