Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a chemical byproduct that can form when chlorine dioxide is used to disinfect water. It’s distinct from chlorine, though both may appear for similar reasons related to keeping systems free of microbes. Because chlorite stays dissolved, it often won’t alter the taste, smell, or appearance of Spray tap water, so many homeowners only discover it through a utility notice or a lab test.
If chlorite levels make you uneasy, it’s understandable to want a reduction for the water you drink, cook with, and bathe in—especially when you have children or other sensitive household members. Simple pitchers and basic sediment cartridges usually won’t reliably remove chlorite. A whole-house solution treats incoming water at the point it enters your Spray home, so every faucet and shower receives the same level of protection without extra filters at each tap.
The single most effective whole-house filter for chlorite is catalytic carbon. This media is designed to encourage reactions at the carbon surface that help convert and reduce certain oxidizing byproducts more effectively than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved, a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank with sufficient contact time is important to treat Spray’s water before it reaches your plumbing.
A catalytic carbon whole-house system is usually installed past the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and everyday water use without changing routines. Pairing it with a sediment prefilter can extend the carbon bed’s life, but catalytic carbon remains the primary stage for reducing chlorite.
