Including filter system and high-performance 1,2-Dichlorobenzene filter.
1,2-Dichlorobenzene is a man-made chemical that can enter water supplies when industrial solvents or degreasing agents contaminate the environment. You may also find it labeled as o-Dichlorobenzene on lab reports. Because it can affect water quality even at low concentrations, many Pace homeowners choose to treat water where it enters the house so the same treated water reaches every faucet, shower, and appliance.
When present, this contaminant is often linked with chemical-like tastes or odors, but smell alone isn’t a dependable way to identify it. The most accurate step is a current water test or checking available water quality data for your area. In Pace, reducing 1,2-dichlorobenzene can help protect plumbing fixtures and give you greater confidence in water used for bathing, cooking, and everyday household tasks.
To lower 1,2-dichlorobenzene in a home supply, a whole-house activated carbon filter is typically the most effective single-filter choice. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic and solvent-type chemicals, including o-Dichlorobenzene, as water moves through the media. Installed at the main water entry, it treats all taps in your Pace home without requiring separate under-sink units, which is useful when contaminants affect drinking water as well as water used for showers and laundry.
Correct sizing and selecting the appropriate carbon type matter because removal depends on contact time and how much media is available to capture contaminants. A whole-house carbon system also reduces other taste- and odor-causing compounds, improving water aesthetics throughout your Pace residence. Carbon media needs periodic replacement or servicing to maintain performance; Mr. Pure Water can help size and specify a whole-house activated carbon system to match your home’s flow rate and usage so 1,2-dichlorobenzene is managed reliably.
