Including filter system and high-performance 1,2-Dichlorobenzene filter.
1,2-Dichlorobenzene is a man-made solvent that can enter groundwater or distribution systems when industrial degreasers and similar products reach the environment. You may also see it called o-dichlorobenzene on lab reports. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Angel City homeowners choose to treat the water where it enters the house so every faucet, shower and appliance receives the same treated water.
When 1,2-dichlorobenzene is present, people sometimes notice a chemical taste or odor, but scent alone isn’t a reliable indicator of contamination. The best way to know what’s in your supply is a current water test or by checking any available water quality information for your utility or well. Reducing this contaminant can protect fixtures, make bathing and cooking more pleasant, and give Angel City residents greater confidence in their daily water use.
For treating 1,2-dichlorobenzene at the point of entry, a whole-house activated carbon filter is typically the most effective single-filter choice. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic and solvent-type compounds, including o-dichlorobenzene, as water flows through the media. Installed on the main line into your Angel City home, a single properly sized carbon unit treats every outlet without installing multiple under-sink systems — useful when both drinking water and water for showers or laundry need attention.
Performance comes down to choosing the right carbon type and a tank sized for your household flow and usage so the media has enough contact time to capture contaminants. Whole-house carbon also helps reduce other taste- and odor-causing compounds, improving water aesthetics across the home. Carbon media must be serviced or replaced on schedule to maintain effectiveness; Mr. Pure Water in Angel City can assess your flow needs and recommend a whole-house activated carbon system that reliably addresses 1,2-dichlorobenzene.
