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 similar chemicals reach the environment. You may also find it listed as o-Dichlorobenzene on lab reports. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Hurlburt Field homeowners choose to treat water at the point it enters the house so every faucet, shower and appliance receives the same filtered water.
When present, this contaminant can cause chemical-like tastes or odors, but scent alone isn’t a reliable indicator of contamination. The best way to know your exposure in Hurlburt Field is to get a current water test or review any available local water-quality information. Addressing 1,2-dichlorobenzene can help protect plumbing fixtures and give you greater confidence in the water you use for bathing, cooking and laundry.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is commonly the most effective single-filter choice for reducing 1,2-dichlorobenzene in residential water. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic solvents, including o-Dichlorobenzene, as water flows through the media. Installed at the main water inlet, this approach treats all water used in a Hurlburt Field home without relying on separate under-sink units, which is especially useful when the contaminant could affect showers, dishwashers and laundry.
Performance depends on selecting the correct carbon type and a tank sized for your household flow and usage, because contact time and media volume determine how much contaminant is captured. A whole-house carbon system also reduces other taste- and odor-causing compounds, improving water aesthetics throughout the home. Carbon must be serviced or replaced on schedule to maintain effectiveness; Mr. Pure Water can help Hurlburt Field homeowners choose and size an activated carbon system to reliably address 1,2-dichlorobenzene.
