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 stays dissolved, ordinary sediment screens or standard carbon filters may not remove it reliably. It also usually won’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of your water, so the only way to know if it’s present is to test. In Marathon, whether you’re on municipal supply or a private well or cistern, the aim is steady reduction at every tap — not just treating water at the kitchen sink.
Clear-looking water can still carry trace contaminants like perchlorate that may fluctuate over time. Homeowners in the Florida Keys often begin looking for solutions after reviewing a water report, receiving lab results, or wanting greater confidence for cooking, bathing, and laundry. A whole-house system removes the hassle of pitchers or multiple point-of-use units and is sized and configured to address perchlorate’s chemical behavior so it can be captured effectively for the whole house.
The single filter type most often effective for perchlorate is a properly designed reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. RO separates water from many dissolved ions, perchlorate included, by passing water through a semi-permeable membrane rather than relying on loose media to trap contaminants. That makes RO a strong choice when you need dependable reduction of contaminants that remain dissolved and won’t settle out. For Marathon homes, a whole-house RO is paired with the prefiltration needed to protect the membrane from sediment and the region’s moderate water hardness.
A whole-house RO system treats water before it reaches showers, laundry, and kitchen taps so reduction is uniform across your home. Prefilters remove sediment and other foulants that could harm the membrane, and the RO membrane does the primary work removing dissolved perchlorate. Many homeowners also add a post-treatment stage to adjust taste and support overall water quality after RO. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Marathon property — whether coastal exposure, hurricane-driven corrosion concerns, or reliance on municipal or well supply — and recommend a whole-house RO configuration sized for your household demand.
