Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a byproduct that can appear when water is disinfected with chlorine dioxide. It’s different from chlorine, but can arise for similar reasons — as part of keeping public systems free of microbes. Because chlorite dissolves in water, it often doesn’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of tap water, so many Three Lakes homeowners first hear about it through utility notices or lab results rather than by sensory clues.
If you’re uneasy about chlorite levels, it’s natural to want consistent protection for drinking, cooking, and bathing throughout your Osceola County home. Some families — especially those with sensitive members — choose to reduce exposure even when water looks and tastes fine. Pitcher filters and basic sediment cartridges usually won’t remove chlorite reliably; a whole-house solution treats incoming water once so every faucet, shower, and appliance in Three Lakes receives the same treated water.
The single most effective whole-house filter type for removing chlorite is catalytic carbon. This specialized carbon encourages reactions on its surface that help reduce oxidizing byproducts more effectively than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved, the system needs sufficient contact time and properly sized media to work consistently — a catalytic carbon tank installed at the main line delivers that treatment before water spreads through your home.
A whole-house catalytic carbon system is usually placed after the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures and appliances across your Three Lakes property without changing daily routines. In areas drawing hard groundwater from the Floridan aquifer, pairing the carbon with a sediment prefilter can prevent mineral and particulate buildup from shortening media life, but catalytic carbon remains the primary stage for reducing chlorite. Mr. Pure Water can size and configure the right catalytic carbon tank for your home’s flow needs and water goals.
