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. It may be listed on lab reports as o-dichlorobenzene, so look for that name when reviewing results. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Kings Bay homeowners choose to treat water where it enters the house so treated water flows to every faucet and fixture.
When 1,2-dichlorobenzene is present it can give water a chemical taste or odor, though you shouldn’t rely on smell alone to judge safety. The best way to know what’s in your water is a recent test or checking available water quality information. Reducing this contaminant in Kings Bay can improve confidence in water used for cooking, bathing and laundry, and help protect fixtures from issues worsened by our coastal humidity and hard local water.
For most homes, a whole-house activated carbon filter is the single best option to lower 1,2-dichlorobenzene levels. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic, solvent-type chemicals like o-dichlorobenzene as water passes through the media. Installed at the main water line into your Kings Bay property, a single carbon tank treats every tap without needing separate point-of-use units — useful when contaminants affect drinking water and water used throughout the house.
Performance depends on choosing the right carbon type and a tank sized for your home’s flow and usage, especially in Nassau County homes where hard water and mineral content can influence system demands. A properly designed whole-house carbon system also reduces other taste- and odor-causing compounds, making water more pleasant across the house. To maintain effectiveness, carbon media must be serviced or replaced on schedule — Mr. Pure Water can size and match a system for your Kings Bay home so removal of 1,2-dichlorobenzene is dependable.
