Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a dissolved chemical byproduct that can form when chlorine dioxide is used to disinfect water. It’s different from chlorine, but it can appear for the same reason — disinfection in the distribution system — and may not change the taste, smell, or appearance of your tap water. In Secotan, many homeowners first find out about chlorite through a water test or a utility notice rather than by noticing anything at the faucet.
If chlorite levels make you uneasy, it’s understandable to want to lower exposure for cooking, drinking, and bathing—especially when households include sensitive family members. Simple countertop pitchers or basic sediment cartridges usually won’t address dissolved byproducts like chlorite. A whole-house system installed for a Secotan home treats incoming water once at the service entrance so every shower, tap, and appliance receives the same treated water without extra effort.
The single most effective whole-house filter type for chlorite is catalytic carbon. Unlike standard activated carbon, catalytic carbon is designed to encourage reactions on the media surface that help reduce certain oxidizing byproducts. Because chlorite is dissolved, the system needs sufficient contact time and the right carbon media to work dependably. In Secotan homes, a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank placed at the main line provides that treatment before water circulates through the house.
A whole-house catalytic carbon unit is typically installed after the main shutoff so it protects Secotan plumbing, fixtures, and daily water use without changing routines. Often paired with a sediment prefilter to prolong carbon life, the catalytic carbon stage is the primary method for reducing chlorite throughout the home.
