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 cleaners or degreasers reach the environment. You may also see it listed as o-Dichlorobenzene on test reports. Because it can affect water quality at low concentrations, many Highland View homeowners choose to treat water where it enters the house so every faucet, shower, and appliance receives the same filtered water.
When 1,2-Dichlorobenzene is present, people sometimes notice chemical-like tastes or odors, but smell alone isn’t a reliable indicator of contaminants. The best way to know what’s in your Highland View water is a recent lab test or reviewing available water quality information. Addressing this contaminant can protect plumbing fixtures and give households greater confidence in their water for bathing, cooking, and everyday chores.
To reduce 1,2-Dichlorobenzene in your household supply, a whole-house activated carbon filter is the most effective single-filter solution. Activated carbon removes many organic and solvent-type chemicals, including o-Dichlorobenzene, by adsorbing them as water moves through the media. Installed at the main service line, a carbon tank treats water for the whole home without needing separate point-of-use units—handy for Highland View families who want filtered water at every tap, shower, and washer.
Good performance depends on a correctly sized carbon tank and the appropriate carbon type so there’s enough contact time and media to capture contaminants. Whole-house carbon also helps reduce other taste- and odor-causing compounds, improving water quality throughout the home. Carbon media needs routine replacement or servicing to stay effective; Mr. Pure Water can help Highland View homeowners choose the right whole-house activated carbon system for their flow rate and water use to keep 1,2-Dichlorobenzene addressed reliably.
