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 other environmental sources into waterways. Because it dissolves so readily, simple sediment filters or basic carbon alone often won’t remove it. You may not notice any change in taste, smell, or color in Felkel’s tap water, so testing is the only reliable way to know if perchlorate is present. If you’re concerned, the objective should be consistent reduction at every faucet in your home, not just treating a single sink.
Even when your water in Felkel looks clear, dissolved contaminants such as perchlorate can still be there and levels can shift over time. Homeowners often seek answers after reviewing a water quality report, receiving lab results, or simply wanting greater assurance about water used for cooking and daily chores. Choosing a whole-house solution removes the hassle of pitchers or multiple point-of-use units and delivers protection throughout your home. The right system is selected based on perchlorate’s chemistry and the most effective way to capture it.
The single filter type most effective for perchlorate is a properly designed reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. RO separates water from many dissolved ions, perchlorate included, using a semi-permeable membrane rather than relying on loose media to trap contaminants. That makes RO a reliable choice when you need steady reduction of a dissolved contaminant that won’t settle out. In a whole-house installation serving a Felkel home, RO is combined with appropriate prefiltration to shield the membrane and maintain consistent performance.
A whole-house RO system treats water before it reaches bathrooms, laundry, and the kitchen so all taps in your Felkel home benefit from perchlorate reduction. Prefilters handle sediment and other particles that could shorten membrane life, while the RO membrane removes dissolved perchlorate. Many homeowners add a post-treatment stage to improve taste and support overall water quality after RO. Mr. Pure Water can assess your local water conditions and household needs to recommend the right whole-house RO configuration.
