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 find it labeled as o-dichlorobenzene on lab reports. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Homestead homeowners choose to treat the supply where it comes into the house so that all faucets, showers and appliances receive the same filtered water.
When present, this compound can give water a chemical taste or odor, though scent alone won't reliably identify contaminants. The best way to know what’s in your water is a current test or checking available water quality information for southern Miami-Dade. Addressing 1,2-dichlorobenzene can improve confidence in the water you use for bathing, cooking and cleaning around Homestead — and help protect fixtures that already cope with the area’s typically hard water.
To reduce 1,2-dichlorobenzene throughout a house, a whole-house activated carbon filter is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic and solvent-type chemicals such as o-dichlorobenzene as water flows through the media. Mounted at the main service line, this approach treats water for every tap in Homestead homes without needing multiple point-of-use units — useful when contaminants could affect drinking water, showers or laundry.
Performance depends on using a carbon tank sized for your home's flow and the right carbon type, since contact time and media volume determine removal. Whole-house carbon also reduces other taste- and odor-causing compounds, making water feel and taste better throughout Homestead residences. Like any filtration media, carbon needs periodic replacement or service to stay effective; Mr. Pure Water can size and match a whole-house activated carbon system to your household use and flow so 1,2-dichlorobenzene is handled reliably.
