Including filter system and high-performance Perchlorate filter.
Perchlorate is a highly soluble salt that can enter drinking water when it migrates from industrial or environmental sources into waterways. Because it dissolves easily, simple sediment screens or basic carbon filters in Fidelis homes often won’t remove it reliably. Perchlorate usually won’t change taste, smell, or appearance, so testing is the only sure way to know if it’s present. If you’re concerned about perchlorate in Fidelis, the aim should be steady reduction at every tap, not just treating the kitchen faucet.
Even when Fidelis water looks clear, dissolved contaminants such as perchlorate can still be there and may fluctuate over time. Many local homeowners begin investigating after seeing a lab result, reviewing a water-quality report, or wanting extra confidence in the water they use for cooking and daily chores. Choosing a whole-house system removes the hassle of pitchers or multiple point-of-use units and gives consistent protection throughout the house. The correct design focuses on perchlorate’s chemistry and the best way to remove it effectively.
For perchlorate, the single filter type most often recommended is a properly engineered reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. RO separates water from dissolved ions like perchlorate using a semi-permeable membrane rather than attempting to capture the contaminant in loose media, making it a reliable choice for dissolved salts. When installed for a whole-house application in Fidelis, RO is paired with appropriate prefiltration to protect the membrane and maintain consistent performance.
A whole-house RO installation treats water before it reaches your Fidelis bathrooms, laundry and kitchen, so perchlorate reduction is consistent throughout the home. Prefilters are used to remove sediment and other particles that could shorten membrane life, while the RO membrane removes the dissolved perchlorate; many homeowners also add a post-treatment stage to polish taste and overall quality. Mr. Pure Water can help you select a whole-house RO system sized for your household and local water conditions.
