Including filter system and high-performance Perchlorate filter.
Perchlorate is a very 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 basic carbon systems often won’t remove it effectively. In Majette, homeowners may not detect any change in taste, smell, or appearance if perchlorate is present, so the only reliable way to know is through testing. If you’re concerned, the best aim is consistent reduction at every tap in your house, not only at the kitchen sink.
Even crystal-clear water can carry trace contaminants like perchlorate, and concentrations can shift over time. Many Majette residents begin thinking about this after reading a water report or seeing lab results, or simply because they want greater peace of mind for daily tasks like cooking and laundry. A whole-house system makes life easier by protecting every outlet, avoiding the need for pitchers or multiple point-of-use units. The right solution is built around how perchlorate behaves chemically and how best to capture it.
For perchlorate, the single filter type most commonly recommended is a properly designed reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. RO separates water from dissolved ions like perchlorate using a semi-permeable membrane instead of relying on loose media to trap contaminants, making it effective for pollutants that remain dissolved. When installed as part of a whole-house strategy, RO is combined with appropriate prefiltration to protect the membrane and maintain reliable performance for Majette households.
A whole-house RO setup treats water before it reaches your bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen so reduction is uniform throughout a Majette home. Prefilters handle sediment and other materials that could damage the membrane, while the RO membrane reduces perchlorate and similar dissolved ions. Many homeowners also add a post-treatment stage to improve taste and overall water balance after RO. Mr. Pure Water can help you choose a whole-house RO configuration sized and specified for your home’s needs.
