Including filter system and high-performance 1,2-Dichlorobenzene filter.
1,2-Dichlorobenzene is a man-made solvent that can reach water supplies when industrial degreasers or similar chemicals enter the environment. You might also see it reported as o-Dichlorobenzene on lab results. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Bascom homeowners choose to treat water at the point it enters the house so the same treated water serves every faucet, shower, and appliance.
When present, 1,2-Dichlorobenzene can give water a chemical taste or odor, but you shouldn’t rely on smell alone to judge safety. The best way to know what’s in your Bascom water is a current test or reviewing available water quality information. Reducing this contaminant can improve confidence in your household water for bathing, cooking, and cleaning while helping protect fixtures and appliances.
For treating 1,2-Dichlorobenzene in a home water supply, a whole-house activated carbon filter is commonly the most effective single-filter choice. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic and solvent-type compounds like o-Dichlorobenzene as water flows through the media. Installed at the main service line, a properly designed carbon system delivers treated water to every tap in your Bascom home without relying on multiple point-of-use units, which is useful when both drinking water and water for showers or laundry are a concern.
Sizing the carbon tank correctly and selecting the appropriate carbon type matter because removal depends on contact time and the volume of media available. A whole-house carbon system also reduces other taste- and odor-causing compounds, making water more pleasant throughout your Bascom residence. Carbon media must be replaced or maintained on schedule to remain effective — Mr. Pure Water can help match a whole-house activated carbon system to your home’s flow needs so 1,2-Dichlorobenzene is addressed reliably.
