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 contaminate the environment. You may also see it called o-Dichlorobenzene on lab reports. Because even low concentrations can affect water quality, many Scanlon homeowners choose to treat water where it enters the house so every faucet, shower and appliance receives the same filtered water.
When 1,2-Dichlorobenzene is present, people sometimes notice an unusual chemical taste or odor, but scent alone won’t tell you what’s in your tap. The best step is a current water test or reviewing any available local water-quality information. For Scanlon residents, lowering this contaminant can help protect plumbing fixtures and give you greater confidence in the safety and taste of water used for cooking, bathing and laundry.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is the most effective single-filter choice for reducing 1,2-Dichlorobenzene in household water. 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 Scanlon home, this single tank treats every tap without needing multiple point-of-use units, which is particularly useful when both drinking water and shower or laundry water need improvement.
Sizing the carbon tank correctly and selecting the right carbon type matter because removal depends on contact time and the amount of media available. Whole-house carbon also helps reduce other taste- and odor-causing substances, making water throughout your Scanlon home more pleasant. Carbon media requires routine replacement or servicing to maintain effectiveness; Mr. Pure Water can help choose and install an activated carbon system matched to your home’s flow rate and water use so 1,2-Dichlorobenzene is addressed reliably.
