Including filter system and high-performance Perchlorate filter.
Perchlorate is a very soluble salt that can enter drinking water when it moves from industrial or environmental sources into groundwater or surface water. Because it dissolves so easily, simple sediment filters or basic carbon systems often won’t remove it reliably. In Skipper, homeowners may not notice any change in taste, smell, or appearance if perchlorate is present, so testing is the only way to know for sure. If you’re concerned about perchlorate in your household water, the aim should be consistent reduction at every tap in the house, not just treating the kitchen faucet.
Even when your water looks clear in Skipper, small dissolved contaminants like perchlorate can still be there and may fluctuate over time. Many local residents start looking into treatment after reviewing a water report, receiving lab results, or wanting more confidence in water used for cooking, bathing, and laundry. A whole-house system makes life easier by protecting every outlet, so you’re not juggling pitchers or multiple point-of-use devices. The right solution is chosen based on perchlorate’s chemistry and how it must be separated from the water.
For perchlorate, the single filter type most often 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 rather than trying to trap the contaminant in loose media. That separation makes RO a strong choice when you need dependable reduction of a contaminant that remains dissolved. In a whole-house setup for Skipper homes, RO is installed with the appropriate prefiltration to protect the membrane and maintain consistent performance.
A whole-house RO system treats water before it reaches bathrooms, laundry, and the kitchen, providing consistent perchlorate reduction throughout your Skipper home. Prefilters handle sediment and other materials that could damage the membrane, while the RO membrane does the primary removal of perchlorate. Many homeowners also add a post-treatment stage to polish taste and overall quality after RO. Mr. Pure Water can help assess your water and recommend the right whole-house RO configuration for your household’s needs.
