Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a dissolved disinfection byproduct that can appear when systems use chlorine dioxide to treat water. It’s different from chlorine, yet it can arise for similar reasons: protecting supplies from microbes. Because chlorite stays dissolved, you often can’t see, smell, or taste it in your tap water; homeowners in Piedmont usually first find out about it from a utility notice or a private water test.
If chlorite levels make you uneasy, it can undermine confidence in the water you use for drinking, cooking, and bathing at home. Many Piedmont families, especially those with sensitive household members, choose to lower chlorite exposure even when the water seems acceptable. Simple pitchers or basic sediment cartridges typically won’t remove dissolved chlorite, so a whole-house system treats all incoming water at once and ensures consistent protection for every faucet and shower in your home.
The single most effective whole-house filter for chlorite is catalytic carbon. This media is designed to encourage reactions on the carbon surface that reduce certain oxidizing byproducts more effectively than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved, the system needs sufficient contact time and the appropriate media volume to work reliably. Installing a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank on the main line treats water before it flows through the rest of your Piedmont home.
A whole-house catalytic carbon system is usually placed after the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and daily water use without changing household routines. In Piedmont’s humid subtropical climate where water hardness can be moderate and vary by source, pairing the carbon with a sediment prefilter can help preserve performance over time, while the catalytic carbon remains the primary stage for reducing chlorite. Mr. Pure Water will recommend the right tank size and configuration for your home’s flow needs and local water conditions.
