Including filter system and high-performance 1,2-Dichlorobenzene filter.
1,2-Dichlorobenzene is a man-made solvent that can reach drinking water when industrial cleaners or degreasers enter the environment. You may also see it identified as o-Dichlorobenzene on lab reports. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Geigers Landing residents choose to treat water where it first enters the house so the same filtered water serves every faucet, appliance, and shower.
When 1,2-Dichlorobenzene is present it can cause chemical-like tastes or odors, though odor isn’t a dependable indicator of contamination. The best way to know what’s in your supply is a current water test or checking available water quality data for your municipal supply or private well. In Geigers Landing, taking steps to reduce this contaminant can improve confidence in household water for cooking, bathing, and laundry while helping protect plumbing fixtures.
To remove 1,2-Dichlorobenzene from a home’s water, a whole-house activated carbon filter is often the most effective single-filter choice. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic and solvent-type chemicals, including o-Dichlorobenzene, as water flows through the media. Installed at the main line before water is distributed, a single carbon tank treats every tap in Geigers Landing homes without needing separate under-sink units.
Sizing and selecting the correct carbon type matters because removal depends on contact time and the volume of media available to capture contaminants. Whole-house carbon also helps reduce other taste- and odor-causing compounds so water throughout your Geigers Landing home tastes and smells better. Carbon media requires scheduled replacement or service to maintain performance—Mr. Pure Water can help size and match a whole-house activated carbon system to your home’s flow rate and whether you use municipal or private well water.
