Including filter system and high-performance 1,2-Dichlorobenzene filter.
1,2-Dichlorobenzene is an industrial solvent-related chemical that can enter water supplies when degreasers or similar products reach the environment. You might also see it listed as o-Dichlorobenzene on lab reports. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Pine Hills homeowners choose to treat water where it enters the house so every faucet, shower and appliance receives the same filtered water. A whole-house system is an efficient way to manage concerns across your entire home in Orange County’s humid subtropical climate.
When 1,2-Dichlorobenzene is present it can produce chemical-like tastes or odors, but odor alone isn’t a reliable indicator of contamination. The best way to know what’s in your Pine Hills water is to run a current test or review any available water quality reports. Addressing this contaminant can increase your confidence in water used for bathing, cooking and laundry, and may help protect fixtures and appliances from issues related to the Orlando area’s hard, mineral-rich water.
For most homes, a whole-house activated carbon filter is the single most effective filter option for reducing 1,2-Dichlorobenzene. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic and solvent-type chemicals like o-Dichlorobenzene as water flows through the media. Mounted on the main service line, it treats every tap in your Pine Hills residence so you don’t need multiple under-sink units—useful for both drinking water and water used for showers, laundry and appliances affected by hard water.
Performance comes down to choosing the right carbon type and a tank sized for your home’s flow rate and water use, because removal depends on contact time and the amount of media. A whole-house carbon system also reduces other taste- and odor-causing compounds, improving water aesthetics throughout Pine Hills. Like any media, carbon needs periodic replacement or servicing to maintain effectiveness; Mr. Pure Water can help select and size a whole-house activated carbon system to reliably address 1,2-Dichlorobenzene for your home.
