Including filter system and high-performance 1,2-Dichlorobenzene filter.
1,2-Dichlorobenzene is a man-made solvent that can enter water supplies when industrial degreasers or related chemicals contaminate the environment. You may also see it labeled as o-Dichlorobenzene on lab reports. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Auburn homeowners choose to treat the water where it enters the house so every faucet, shower and appliance receives the same treated supply.
When 1,2-dichlorobenzene is present it can produce chemical-like tastes or odors, but odor alone isn’t a dependable indicator of contamination. The most accurate way to know what’s in your Auburn water is a current water test or reviewing available water quality reports. Addressing this contaminant can protect plumbing fixtures and give families greater confidence in the water used for bathing, cooking and daily chores.
To reduce 1,2-dichlorobenzene in a home’s water, a whole-house activated carbon filter is commonly the best single-filter choice. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic, solvent-type compounds such as o-dichlorobenzene as water moves through the media. Installed at the main water line into your Auburn home, a single carbon system treats water for every tap without needing multiple point-of-use units—useful when the issue affects drinking water as well as showers and laundry.
Performance depends on using the correct carbon type and a tank sized for your home’s flow so there’s enough contact time and media to capture contaminants. Whole-house carbon also helps reduce other taste- and odor-causing compounds, improving the feel and smell of water throughout an Auburn residence. Carbon media requires regular servicing or replacement to remain effective; Mr. Pure Water can help size and configure a whole-house activated carbon system to match your household’s water use and flow rate so 1,2-dichlorobenzene is addressed reliably.
