Including filter system and high-performance 1,2-Dichlorobenzene filter.
1,2-Dichlorobenzene is a man-made solvent that can enter water when industrial degreasers or related chemicals reach the environment; it may also be labeled o-dichlorobenzene on lab reports. Because it can affect water quality even at low concentrations, many Jarrett homeowners choose to treat water where it first comes into the house. A whole-house system ensures the same filtered water reaches showers, faucets and appliances throughout your Florida home.
When 1,2-dichlorobenzene is present, people sometimes notice a chemical taste or unusual odor, but scent alone isn’t a reliable indicator of contamination. The best course is a current water test or reviewing available water quality data for your Jarrett residence. Addressing this contaminant can protect plumbing fixtures, improve water used for cooking and bathing, and give families greater confidence in their daily water.
To reduce 1,2-dichlorobenzene in household water, a whole-house activated carbon filter is typically the most effective single-filter choice. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic and solvent-type compounds, including o-dichlorobenzene, as water flows through the media. Installed at the main line where water enters your Jarrett home, a single carbon tank treats every tap without needing multiple under-sink units—useful when both drinking water and shower water should be addressed.
Performance depends on selecting the right carbon type and a tank sized for your home’s flow so there’s enough contact time and media to capture contaminants. A whole-house carbon system also reduces other taste- and odor-causing compounds, making water throughout your Jarrett home more pleasant. Carbon media must be serviced or replaced on schedule to maintain effectiveness; Mr. Pure Water can help pick and size a whole-house activated carbon system to match your household water use and flow rate so 1,2-dichlorobenzene is handled consistently.
