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 reach the environment. You might also see it listed as o-dichlorobenzene on lab reports. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many New Harmony homeowners choose to treat water where it enters the house so every faucet, shower and appliance receives the same treated water.
When 1,2-dichlorobenzene is present it can create chemical-like tastes or odors, though you shouldn't rely on smell alone to judge water safety. The best way to know what’s in your supply is a recent water test or checking available water quality information. If you’re concerned in New Harmony, lowering this compound can protect plumbing fixtures and make daily tasks—cooking, bathing, laundry—feel safer and more pleasant.
For treating 1,2-dichlorobenzene throughout a home, a whole-house activated carbon filter is the most effective single-filter choice. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic and solvent-type compounds, including o-dichlorobenzene, as water flows through the media. Installed at the main water line into your New Harmony home, this approach delivers treated water to every outlet without needing multiple point-of-use units—useful when you want both drinking water and shower water addressed.
Sizing the carbon tank correctly and using the appropriate carbon type matter because removal depends on contact time and media volume. Whole-house carbon also cuts other taste- and odor-causing compounds, improving water aesthetics throughout your New Harmony home. Carbon media needs regular replacement or servicing to stay effective; Mr. Pure Water can help select and install a whole-house activated carbon system matched to your home’s flow rate and usage so 1,2-dichlorobenzene is managed reliably.
