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 and related chemicals find their way into the environment. You may also see this compound called o-dichlorobenzene on lab reports or municipal notices. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Holland homeowners choose to treat water where it enters the house so every faucet, shower and appliance receives the same filtered water.
When present, 1,2-dichlorobenzene can give water a chemical taste or odor, but you can’t depend on smell alone to judge safety. The most dependable step is a current water test or checking available water-quality information for your area of Holland. If testing shows a concern, lowering levels can protect plumbing fixtures and give you greater confidence in the water you use for cooking, bathing and laundry.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is frequently the best single-filter choice for reducing 1,2-dichlorobenzene in a home supply. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic and solvent-type chemicals, including o-dichlorobenzene, as water moves through the media. When installed at the main line into a Holland home, this approach treats every outlet without relying on multiple point-of-use units, which is especially useful if the contaminant affects both drinking water and water used for showers and laundry.
Correct sizing and the appropriate carbon type determine how well a whole-house carbon tank removes 1,2-dichlorobenzene, because removal depends on contact time and the amount of media. In addition to targeting this contaminant, carbon often improves taste and odor from other common compounds, making Holland tap water more pleasant throughout the house. Carbon media must be replaced or serviced on schedule to maintain performance; Mr. Pure Water can help size and select an activated carbon system to match your home’s flow rate and water use so treatment is dependable.
