Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a byproduct that can form when chlorine dioxide is used to disinfect water supplies. It’s different from chlorine but can appear for similar treatment reasons, and because it stays dissolved, chlorite may not change your tap water’s taste, odor, or appearance. Westchester homeowners most often discover it through utility notices or private testing rather than by sensory clues.
If you’re uneasy about chlorite levels, it’s understandable — many families in Miami-Dade prefer to limit exposure for children or other sensitive household members. Simple pitchers or basic sediment filters typically won’t reduce dissolved chlorite, so a whole-house solution is often chosen so every shower, faucet, and appliance in Westchester sees the same treated water.
The single most effective whole-home filter 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, successful treatment depends on adequate contact time and the proper media — a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank on the main line provides that treatment before water moves through your home.
A catalytic carbon whole-house system is installed after the main shutoff so it protects plumbing, fixtures, and appliances across Westchester without changing daily routines. Pairing it with a sediment prefilter can help guard the carbon bed from limescale and particulates common with Miami-Dade’s hard, limestone-influenced water. Mr. Pure Water can help select the right tank size and configuration to meet your household flow needs and water goals.
