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 uses or other environmental sources. Because it dissolves so readily, simple sediment filters or standard carbon alone often can't remove it effectively. In Scanlon, homeowners may not detect perchlorate by taste, smell, or appearance, so testing is the reliable way to know whether it’s present in your supply. If you’re worried about perchlorate in your home, the aim should be steady reduction at every tap — not just treating water at the kitchen sink.
Water that looks clear in Scanlon can still contain trace contaminants like perchlorate, and concentrations may change over time. Many residents begin looking into treatment after reviewing a water quality report, receiving lab results, or simply wanting added assurance for cooking, bathing, and everyday use. A whole-house system removes the need for pitchers or multiple point-of-use units and delivers consistent protection throughout your home. The right design takes into account perchlorate’s chemistry and how it is most reliably captured.
The single filter type most commonly effective against perchlorate is a properly engineered reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. Rather than attempting to trap perchlorate in a loose media, RO separates water from many dissolved ions — including perchlorate — using a semi-permeable membrane. That mechanism makes RO a strong choice for a contaminant that stays dissolved and won’t settle out. For whole-house use, RO systems are installed with the necessary prefiltration to protect the membrane and preserve steady performance for Scanlon homes.
A whole-house RO system treats water before it reaches bathrooms, laundry, and the kitchen so perchlorate reduction is consistent throughout your Scanlon home. Prefilters handle sediment and other foulants that can shorten membrane life, while the RO membrane does the primary removal work. 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 setup sized for your household needs and local water conditions.
