Including filter system and high-performance Perchlorate filter.
Perchlorate is a highly soluble salt that can enter drinking water when it moves into waterways from industrial or environmental sources. Because it dissolves so easily, simple sediment filters or standard carbon systems often won’t remove it reliably. Perchlorate usually doesn’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of water, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present in a Koerber home is through testing. If you’re concerned, the aim should be consistent reduction at every tap — not just treating a single sink.
Water that looks clear in Koerber can still carry trace contaminants like perchlorate, and levels can shift over time. Homeowners commonly begin investigating after seeing a water quality report, getting lab results, or wanting better assurance about the water used for cooking and daily chores. Choosing a whole-house solution removes the need for pitchers or multiple point-of-use devices, delivering treated water throughout your home. The right system is selected based on perchlorate’s chemistry and how it’s most effectively removed.
For perchlorate, the single filter type most commonly recommended is a properly designed reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. RO separates water from many dissolved ions, including perchlorate, by forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane instead of relying on loose media to trap the contaminant. That makes RO a dependable choice when you need to reduce a dissolved substance that won’t settle out. In a whole-house setup for Koerber homes, RO is installed with the appropriate prefiltration to protect the membrane and maintain steady performance.
A whole-house RO system treats water before it reaches bathrooms, laundry, and the kitchen, ensuring perchlorate reduction is consistent across your Koerber residence. Prefilters take care of sediment and other particles that could shorten membrane life, while the RO membrane handles the dissolved perchlorate. Many homeowners also add a post-treatment stage to improve taste and overall water quality after RO. Mr. Pure Water can help you choose a whole-house RO configuration that matches your household demand and local water conditions.
