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 listed as o-dichlorobenzene on lab reports. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Miami homeowners choose to treat the water at the point it enters the house so every faucet, shower and appliance receives the same filtered water.
When 1,2-dichlorobenzene is present, water sometimes has a chemical taste or odor, though smell alone isn’t a reliable indicator. The best way to know what’s in your supply is a recent water test or reviewing available water-quality information for your area of Miami-Dade County. Addressing this contaminant not only increases confidence in your water for cooking and bathing, it can also help protect fixtures and appliances from the effects of poor-quality water in our hot, humid climate.
For treating 1,2-dichlorobenzene in a household supply, a whole-house activated carbon filter is usually the most effective single-filter choice. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic, solvent-type compounds like o-dichlorobenzene as water moves through the media. Installed at the main line into your Miami home, it provides treated water to every outlet without needing multiple point-of-use units — useful whether you live near Brickell, Coconut Grove, or elsewhere in the Miami metro area.
Performance comes down to using a carbon tank sized correctly for your home’s flow and the right carbon type, since removal depends on contact time and the amount of media. Whole-house carbon also reduces other taste- and odor-causing compounds, making water more pleasant across bathrooms and the kitchen while helping to limit mineral scale issues common with hard Miami water. Mr. Pure Water can help size and select an activated carbon system to match your household use so 1,2-dichlorobenzene is managed consistently.
