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 contaminate the environment. On lab reports you may also see it called o-dichlorobenzene. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Lewis homeowners choose to treat the water where it enters the house so every faucet, shower and appliance receives the same filtered water.
When 1,2-dichlorobenzene is present, water can carry a chemical-like taste or odor, but odor alone isn’t a reliable indicator of contamination. The most dependable step is to obtain a current water test or review any available water quality reports for your Lewis home. If this contaminant is a concern, reducing it can protect plumbing and make daily tasks like cooking and bathing feel safer and more pleasant.
For Lewis homes, a whole-house activated carbon filter is typically the best single-filter choice to reduce 1,2-dichlorobenzene. Activated carbon removes many organic, solvent-type compounds such as o-dichlorobenzene by adsorbing them as water flows through the media. Installed at the main line, a single carbon tank treats water for the entire house without multiple point-of-use units, which is useful when you want treated water for showers, laundry and all taps.
Effectiveness depends on choosing the right carbon type and a tank sized for your home’s flow and water use, because contact time and media volume determine removal. Whole-house carbon also reduces other taste- and odor-causing substances, improving water aesthetics throughout your Lewis residence. Carbon media needs scheduled replacement or service to maintain performance, and Mr. Pure Water can help select and size a whole-house activated carbon system matched to your household’s needs.
