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 related chemicals reach the environment. You may also see it reported as o-Dichlorobenzene on lab results. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Hanson homeowners choose to treat water at the point it enters the house so every faucet, shower and appliance receives the same protected water.
When 1,2-Dichlorobenzene is present, water can take on chemical tastes or odors, although scent alone isn’t a reliable indicator of contamination. The best way to know what’s in your Hanson water is with an up-to-date test or by reviewing available water quality information. If you’re concerned about this contaminant, reducing it can improve confidence in water used for bathing, cooking and everyday household tasks.
To lower 1,2-Dichlorobenzene in a home supply, a whole-house activated carbon filter is typically the single most effective option. Activated carbon adsorbs a wide range of organic chemicals, including solvent-type compounds like o-Dichlorobenzene, as water flows through the media. Installed at the main water entry for Hanson homes, this approach treats every outlet without requiring separate under-sink units, which is useful when the contaminant could affect drinking water as well as showers and laundry.
Performance depends on choosing the right carbon type and a tank sized for your household flow and usage, since contact time and media volume determine how much contaminant is captured. A whole-house carbon system also reduces other taste- and odor-causing compounds, making water throughout your Hanson home more pleasant. Carbon media needs scheduled servicing or replacement to stay effective; Mr. Pure Water can help select and size a whole-house activated carbon system tailored to your home’s needs so 1,2-Dichlorobenzene is addressed reliably.
