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 cleaners or degreasers reach the environment. You may also see it reported as o-Dichlorobenzene on lab results. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Jones Landing homeowners choose to treat water where it enters the house so every faucet, shower and appliance receives the same protected water.
When present, this chemical can lend a faint chemical taste or odor to water, though those signs aren’t a reliable test. The best way to know what’s in your supply is a current water test or reviewing available water-quality information. Reducing 1,2-Dichlorobenzene in your Jones Landing home not only improves taste and smell but also gives greater confidence in water used for bathing, cooking and everyday chores.
For whole-house reduction of 1,2-Dichlorobenzene, a single whole-house activated carbon filter is typically the most effective option. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic and solvent-type compounds, including o-Dichlorobenzene, as water flows through the media. Installed at the main supply line, it delivers treated water to every point of use in your Jones Landing home without needing multiple point-of-use units.
Effective removal depends on choosing the right carbon type and a carbon tank sized for your home’s flow and usage so there’s sufficient contact time and media to capture contaminants. Whole-house carbon also reduces other taste- and odor-causing compounds, improving water throughout the house. Like any filter media, carbon requires scheduled replacement or servicing to stay effective — Mr. Pure Water can help Jones Landing homeowners pick and size a whole-house activated carbon system to match their household needs.
