Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a byproduct that can form when water is disinfected with chlorine dioxide. It’s different from chlorine, though it can appear for similar treatment reasons: to keep distribution systems free of microbes. Because chlorite dissolves in water, it often won’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of your tap water in Skipper, so many homeowners only find out about it through a utility notice or a lab test.
If chlorite levels concern you, it’s natural to want cleaner water for drinking, cooking, and bathing around your Skipper home. Families with sensitive members often decide to lower exposure even when water seems normal. Pitcher filters and simple sediment cartridges usually aren’t enough, since chlorite is dissolved; treating water at the point it enters your house gives consistent protection to every faucet, shower, and appliance.
The single most effective whole-house filter for chlorite is catalytic carbon. This media is designed to encourage reactions on the carbon surface that can reduce certain oxidizing byproducts more effectively than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite stays dissolved, the system needs adequate contact time and the right media — a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank on the main line provides that treatment before water flows through your Skipper plumbing.
A catalytic carbon whole-house system is usually placed after the main shutoff so it safeguards your plumbing, fixtures, and everyday water use without changing routines in Skipper. It’s common to add a sediment prefilter to protect the carbon bed, but catalytic carbon remains the primary stage for reducing chlorite. With one properly sized system you avoid managing multiple point-of-use units; Mr. Pure Water can help pick the right tank size and setup for your household’s flow and water goals.
