Including filter system and high-performance Perchlorate filter.
Perchlorate is a very soluble salt that can enter drinking water when it moves from industrial or environmental sources into local waterways. Because it dissolves so readily, standard sediment filters or basic carbon systems often can’t remove it completely. In Craggs, homeowners may not detect perchlorate by taste, smell, or appearance, so testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s present. If you’re worried about perchlorate, the objective should be steady reduction at every faucet in your home, not just the kitchen tap.
Invisible contaminants like perchlorate can be in water even when it looks clear, and levels can change over time. Many Craggs residents begin asking questions after seeing a lab result or wanting greater confidence in the water used for cooking, bathing, and laundry. A whole-house system simplifies life by protecting every outlet so you don’t have to manage pitchers or multiple point-of-use devices. The right solution is selected based on perchlorate’s chemistry and how it’s best captured.
The single filter type most often effective against perchlorate is a correctly sized reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. RO separates water from dissolved ions like perchlorate through a semi-permeable membrane instead of relying on loose media to trap particles, which makes it a reliable choice for contaminants that remain dissolved. In whole-house installations serving Craggs homes, RO is paired with appropriate prefiltration to protect the membrane and maintain consistent performance.
A whole-house RO setup treats water before it reaches bathrooms, laundry, and the kitchen so perchlorate reduction is consistent throughout your Craggs home. Prefilters handle sediment and other substances that could shorten membrane life, while the RO membrane provides the primary reduction of dissolved contaminants. Many homeowners add a post-treatment stage to improve taste and polish overall water quality. Mr. Pure Water can help you choose the right whole-house RO configuration for your household’s needs and local water conditions.
