Including filter system and high-performance Chlorite filter.
Chlorite is a dissolved chemical byproduct that can form when chlorine dioxide is used to disinfect drinking water. It isn’t the same as chlorine, though both originate from disinfection processes aimed at keeping water systems safe. Because chlorite stays dissolved, it often won’t alter the taste, smell, or appearance of tap water — many Weston homeowners first hear about it through a utility notice or a private water test.
If you’re uncomfortable with the possibility of elevated chlorite, it can reduce confidence in the water you drink, cook with, and bathe in at home. Some households—especially those with sensitive family members—prefer to lower exposure even when water seems fine. Simple pitcher filters and basic sediment cartridges usually won’t address chlorite effectively; a whole-house solution treats water at the point it enters your Weston home so every faucet, shower, and appliance receives the same protection.
The single most effective whole-house filter type for chlorite is catalytic carbon. Catalytic carbon is designed to encourage reactions on the carbon surface that help reduce certain oxidizing byproducts more effectively than standard activated carbon. Because chlorite is dissolved, the system needs adequate contact time and the appropriate media to work reliably; a correctly sized catalytic carbon tank on the main line treats your water before it circulates through your home.
A whole-house catalytic carbon system is usually installed just after the main shutoff so it protects Weston plumbing, fixtures, and water-using appliances from the first gallon onward. Pairing the tank with a sediment prefilter can prevent scale and particulates from shortening the carbon bed’s life—useful in our hard-water area where scale buildup is a common local concern. With one properly configured system, you won’t need multiple point-of-use devices or to wonder which taps are treated; Mr. Pure Water can size and configure the tank to meet your household flow needs and water goals.
