Including filter system and high-performance 1,2-Dichlorobenzene filter.
1,2-Dichlorobenzene is a man-made solvent that can enter drinking water when industrial degreasers or related chemicals reach groundwater or runoff. You may also see it listed as o-Dichlorobenzene on lab reports. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Carbur homeowners choose to treat water where it first comes into the house so the same filtered water supplies every faucet, shower and appliance.
When 1,2-dichlorobenzene is present it can cause a chemical taste or odor, but scent alone isn’t a dependable indicator of contamination. The safest step is to get a current water test or review available water quality information for your area. If you’re concerned in Carbur, reducing this contaminant helps protect fixtures and gives you more confidence in the water you use for cooking, bathing and laundry.
For treating 1,2-dichlorobenzene in a home supply, a whole-house activated carbon filter is typically the best single-filter choice. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic and solvent-type chemicals, including o-Dichlorobenzene, as water flows through the media. Mounted at the main line where water enters your Carbur home, this approach delivers treated water to every tap without relying on multiple point-of-use units.
To work well for Carbur homes, a carbon tank must be correctly sized and use the right type of carbon so there’s enough contact time and media to capture contaminants. Whole-house carbon also improves taste and odor from other common compounds, making water throughout the house more pleasant. Like any filter media, carbon needs periodic replacement or servicing to maintain performance — Mr. Pure Water can help size and specify a whole-house activated carbon system to match your home’s flow and usage so 1,2-dichlorobenzene is addressed consistently.
