Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a byproduct that can form when water suppliers use chlorine dioxide for disinfection. It’s distinct from chlorine but can arise for similar protective reasons, and because it dissolves in water it won’t always alter taste, odor, or appearance. Many Palm Springs homeowners first hear about chlorite from a utility notice or from lab results after testing their supply.
If chlorite levels are a concern, it can undermine your confidence in the water you drink, cook with, and bathe in—especially for households with sensitive family members. Simple pitcher filters or basic sediment cartridges usually won’t address dissolved chlorite. In Palm Springs and across Palm Beach County, a whole-house solution treats water at the point it enters your home so every shower, faucet, and appliance receives the same treated water.
The single most effective whole-house media for chlorite reduction is catalytic carbon. Unlike standard activated carbon, catalytic carbon is designed to enhance reactions on the carbon surface, making it better at converting and reducing certain oxidizing byproducts. Because chlorite is dissolved, a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank with sufficient contact time is important to reliably lower levels before water circulates through your Palm Springs plumbing.
A whole-house catalytic carbon system is usually installed after the main shutoff so it protects fixtures and appliances throughout your Palm Springs home without changing daily routines. Pairing it with a sediment prefilter helps preserve the carbon bed—particularly useful in our hard Palm Beach County water that can carry more mineral and particulate load. Mr. Pure Water can help pick the right catalytic carbon tank size and configuration to match your household flow needs and water goals.
