Including filter system and high-performance 1,2-Dichlorobenzene filter.
1,2-dichlorobenzene is a man-made chemical that can enter water when industrial solvents or degreasers reach the environment. On lab reports you may also see it called o-dichlorobenzene. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Coral Hills homeowners choose to address it where water enters the house. Treating the main line with a whole-house system helps ensure the same filtered water flows to every faucet, shower and appliance throughout your home.
When 1,2-dichlorobenzene is present it can produce chemical-like tastes or odors, but you can’t rely on smell alone to determine what’s in your water. The most dependable way to know your exposure is a current water test or reviewing available water-quality information. For Coral Hills residents—where hard municipal water is common—reducing this contaminant can also boost confidence in daily water use and help protect fixtures and appliances from taste, odor and scale-related complaints.
To reduce 1,2-dichlorobenzene in household water, a whole-house activated carbon filter is typically the best single-filter choice. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic and solvent-type compounds such as o-dichlorobenzene as water flows through the media. Mounted at the main water entry to your Coral Hills home, a single carbon tank treats all taps without multiple point-of-use units—useful when you want treated water for drinking, cooking, showers and laundry.
Sizing the carbon tank correctly and using the right carbon type matters because removal depends on contact time and the amount of media available. Whole-house carbon also improves water aesthetics by cutting other taste- and odor-causing compounds, making water around your Coral Hills home more pleasant. Like any filtration media, carbon requires periodic replacement or service to maintain performance. Mr. Pure Water can help size and specify a whole-house activated carbon system to match your home’s flow rate and hard-water conditions so 1,2-dichlorobenzene is addressed consistently.
