Perchlorate contamination in water is a serious health concern, particularly for infants and pregnant women. This chemical disrupts the thyroid’s ability to absorb iodine, a critical element for healthy development and metabolic function. When perchlorate is present in your water supply, it directly threatens thyroid health and overall well-being.

The system that solves it

Addressing this challenge requires a specialized water treatment solution. Our perchlorate-selective system is designed as a metered resin-tank unit, resembling a traditional water softener with its compact valve and tank design. This system includes a softener-style metered valve that precisely controls water flow and regeneration cycles, ensuring efficiency and reliability. The tank is corrosion-proof, built to withstand years of use while delivering whole-house water treatment coverage. Inside, a contaminant-selective ion-exchange resin targets perchlorate ions specifically, removing them from your water before they reach your taps. The system features automatic brine regeneration, so it refreshes itself without manual intervention, maintaining peak performance at all times.

• Metered resin-tank configuration with softener-style valve
• Corrosion-proof tank for durability and longevity
• Automatic brine regeneration for hassle-free operation
• Whole-house water treatment coverage
• Contaminant-selective ion-exchange resin targeting perchlorate

What it does for your home

• Effectively reduces perchlorate levels in your water supply
• Protects thyroid function, crucial during infancy and pregnancy
• Delivers treated water to every faucet and appliance in your home
• Operates automatically with self-regenerating resin media
• Provides peace of mind for households on affected water sources
• Maintains consistent water flow without interruption

This system safeguards the health of your family by eliminating a harmful contaminant that interferes with thyroid iodine uptake. Its whole-house coverage means every drop of water you use supports your well-being, and the automatic regeneration ensures continuous protection without extra effort.

Why it works

The heart of this solution lies in the perchlorate-selective anion-exchange resin housed inside the tank. Unlike generic resins, this media is specially formulated to attract and hold perchlorate ions tightly, even though perchlorate is a persistent and stubborn contaminant. When water passes through the resin, perchlorate ions are exchanged for less harmful ions, effectively removing perchlorate from your water. Periodically, the system uses a brine solution to regenerate the resin, flushing out the trapped perchlorate and restoring the resin’s capacity. This cycle repeats automatically, maintaining clean, perchlorate-free water without degradation in performance.

Sizing it right

Choosing the correct system size depends on the concentration of perchlorate in your water, your household’s daily water usage, and peak flow rates during high-demand periods. A system too small will regenerate too frequently, wasting resources, while an oversized unit may increase upfront costs unnecessarily. We provide free sizing assistance to ensure your perchlorate treatment system matches your unique water conditions and usage patterns precisely. Simply contact us with your water analysis and household details, and we will recommend the ideal configuration to keep your water safe and your system efficient.

Why buy from us

We offer systems built around trusted brand-name hardware, featuring Fleck and Autotrol metered resin-tank valves that are widely recognized for reliability and ease of service. Unlike proprietary sealed units, these valves allow for straightforward maintenance and part replacement. Our tanks are corrosion-proof and robust, designed for long-term whole-house coverage. To simplify your purchase, we provide matched one-brand systems—valve and tank combined for optimal compatibility. Additionally, we include free shipping anywhere in the continental United States, so your perchlorate treatment system arrives ready to install without extra costs.

Common questions

Q? How does perchlorate exposure affect thyroid health specifically?

A perchlorate interferes with the thyroid gland’s ability to absorb iodine, which is essential for producing thyroid hormones. This disruption can impair thyroid function, posing significant risks during infancy and pregnancy when proper hormone levels are critical for growth and development.

Q? Will this system treat other common water contaminants?

A The perchlorate-selective system is specifically designed to remove perchlorate through its specialized resin. While it may reduce some other anions to a limited extent, it is not intended as a broad-spectrum water purifier for contaminants like lead, nitrates, or bacteria.

Q? How often does the system regenerate, and will I notice changes during regeneration?

A The system automatically regenerates based on water usage, minimizing disruptions. Because it uses a metered valve, regeneration occurs only as needed, and your water supply remains continuous with no noticeable reduction in flow during the process.
