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 similar chemicals reach the environment. You might also see it reported as o-Dichlorobenzene on a lab result. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Carnestown homeowners choose to treat water where it first enters the house so every faucet, shower and appliance receives the same protection. A whole-house system is a convenient way to make that happen for homes in Collier County and nearby communities.
When present, this chemical can produce a noticeable chemical taste or odor, but scent alone doesn’t reliably indicate what’s in your water. The smartest first step for a Carnestown household is a current water test or reviewing any available local water-quality information. Lowering levels of 1,2-Dichlorobenzene can also help preserve plumbing and give you greater confidence in water used for bathing, cooking and everyday chores in our hot, humid Southwest Florida climate.
The most effective single-filter solution for reducing 1,2-Dichlorobenzene in a home is a whole-house activated carbon filter. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic, solvent-type compounds such as o-Dichlorobenzene as water flows through the media. Installed at the main water line, this approach treats water for every tap in a Carnestown residence — useful for addressing contaminants that affect drinking water as well as water used for showers, laundry and other household needs.
To perform well, a whole-house carbon tank must be properly sized and use the right type of carbon so there’s adequate contact time and media to capture contaminants. In Carnestown’s mineral-rich (hard) groundwater and coastal-influenced conditions, carbon also helps improve tastes and odors from other common compounds, making water more pleasant throughout the home. Carbon media needs periodic replacement or servicing to maintain effectiveness; Mr. Pure Water can help choose and size an activated carbon system for your home’s flow rate and usage so 1,2-Dichlorobenzene is treated reliably.
