Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a byproduct that can appear in drinking water when chlorine dioxide is used for disinfection. It’s distinct from chlorine but can arise for similar reasons—treatment steps meant to keep systems free of microbes. Because chlorite is dissolved, it may not change the taste, smell, or appearance of your tap water in Taft, so many homeowners only find out about it from a utility notice or a lab test.
If you’d rather limit chlorite in the water you cook with, drink, and bathe in, a whole-house strategy gives consistent protection throughout your Taft property. That’s useful in Central Florida where hard groundwater and mineral scale can already affect plumbing and appliances; a single treatment at the main line treats every faucet, shower, and machine so you don’t need separate point-of-use devices for each tap.
For reducing chlorite, the most effective single whole-house option is catalytic carbon. This media is designed to encourage reactions on the carbon surface that help convert and reduce certain oxidizing byproducts more effectively than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved, the system needs proper contact time and the right media volume—so a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank installed at the main line is the reliable way to treat water before it moves through the rest of a Taft home.
A whole-house catalytic carbon unit is usually placed after the main shutoff so it protects your plumbing, fixtures, and day-to-day water use without altering routine. Pairing it with a sediment prefilter can help in hard Central Florida water by preventing premature clogging of the carbon bed, but catalytic carbon is the stage that targets chlorite. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Taft household’s flow needs and recommend the right tank size and configuration to keep treatment consistent at every tap.
