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 identified as o-Dichlorobenzene on lab reports. Because even small concentrations can affect water quality, many Homestead Ridge homeowners choose to treat the water where it enters the house so every faucet, shower and appliance receives the same filtered water.
When present, this contaminant can impart chemical tastes or odors, but smell alone won’t tell you definitively what’s in your pipes. The best way to know your exposure in Homestead Ridge is a current water test or reviewing any available local water-quality information. Reducing 1,2-Dichlorobenzene can protect plumbing and give you greater confidence in water used for bathing, cooking and everyday household tasks.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is widely recognized as the most effective single-filter choice for reducing 1,2-Dichlorobenzene in residential water supplies. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic and solvent-type compounds, including o-Dichlorobenzene, as water flows through the media. Installed at the main water entry to a Homestead Ridge home, a single carbon tank treats every tap without the complexity of multiple point-of-use units—helpful when the issue affects drinking water as well as showers and laundry.
Sizing the carbon tank correctly and selecting the appropriate carbon type are crucial because removal depends on contact time and the amount of media available to capture contaminants. In addition to targeting 1,2-Dichlorobenzene, whole-house carbon often improves overall water taste and odor throughout a Homestead Ridge residence. Like any media, carbon requires scheduled replacement or service to maintain effectiveness. Mr. Pure Water can help match an activated carbon whole-house system to your home’s flow rate and usage so removal stays reliable.
