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 similar chemicals get into the environment. You may also find it listed as o-Dichlorobenzene on lab reports. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Miami Shores homeowners choose to treat 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 it can produce chemical tastes or odors, but you can’t rely on smell alone to detect it. The best course is a current water test or checking available water-quality information for your Miami Shores home. Addressing this contaminant not only increases confidence in your tap water for cooking and bathing, it can also help protect plumbing and appliances that are already prone to mineral scale from the area’s hard municipal water.
To reduce 1,2-Dichlorobenzene throughout a home, a whole-house activated carbon filter is the most effective single-filter choice. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic solvent-type compounds, including o-Dichlorobenzene, as water flows through the media. Installed at the main line, a properly sized carbon system treats all water entering Miami Shores residences so sinks, showers and laundry receive the same protection without the need for multiple point-of-use units.
Performance depends on selecting the right carbon type and a tank sized for your household flow so there’s enough contact time and media to capture contaminants. Whole-house carbon also reduces other taste- and odor-causing compounds, making water more pleasant across your Miami Shores home. Like any filter media, carbon requires scheduled service or replacement to remain effective — Mr. Pure Water can help size and specify a whole-house activated carbon system that matches your home’s usage and the hard water conditions common in the Miami area.
