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 cleaners or degreasers reach the environment. You may also see it named o-Dichlorobenzene on lab reports. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Betts homeowners choose to treat water where it enters the house so every faucet and appliance receives the same protection. A whole-house system provides that uniform treatment for drinking, bathing, and laundry.
When 1,2-Dichlorobenzene is present, water can take on chemical tastes or odors, but odor alone isn’t a reliable indicator of contamination. The best way to know what’s in your Betts water is a current lab test or reviewing available water quality data. If you’re concerned about exposure, reducing this compound can also protect plumbing fixtures and give your family greater confidence in everyday water use—cleaner water for cooking, showering, and household chores.
To reduce 1,2-Dichlorobenzene in a household supply, a whole-house activated carbon filter is typically the single most effective option. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic and solvent-type compounds, including o-Dichlorobenzene, as water flows through the media. Installed at the main service entry, this solution treats all water entering Betts homes so you don’t need separate under-sink units for drinking water and showers.
Sizing the carbon tank correctly and choosing the right carbon type matter because removal relies on contact time and sufficient media volume. A whole-house carbon system also reduces other taste- and odor-causing compounds, improving water aesthetics throughout your Betts home. Carbon media must be replaced or serviced on schedule to maintain performance; Mr. Pure Water can assess your home’s flow and usage and recommend a properly matched activated carbon system to address 1,2-Dichlorobenzene reliably.
