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 may also see it listed as o-Dichlorobenzene on lab reports. Because even small amounts can affect water quality, many Westlake homeowners choose to treat incoming water so every faucet, shower and appliance receives the same filtered supply. A whole-house system makes that point-of-entry protection simple and consistent for homes in Palm Beach County.
When present, 1,2-dichlorobenzene can give water a chemical taste or odor, but scent alone isn’t a reliable indicator of contamination. The best way to know what’s in your water is with a current test or by reviewing available water quality information. In Westlake, where municipal water is typically hard and homeowners pay attention to appliance and fixture care, reducing contaminants like 1,2-dichlorobenzene can protect plumbing and make everyday tasks—bathing, cooking and laundry—more comfortable and confidence-inspiring.
For homes concerned about 1,2-dichlorobenzene, a whole-house activated carbon filter is the most effective single-filter choice. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic, solvent-type chemicals—including o-dichlorobenzene—as water moves through the media. Installed on the main line where water enters the house, a carbon tank treats every tap without needing multiple point-of-use units, which is especially useful in Westlake residences where consistent water quality is desired throughout the home.
Sizing the carbon tank correctly and selecting the appropriate 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, improving water aesthetics throughout your Westlake home. Like any media, the carbon needs routine replacement or servicing to maintain performance; Mr. Pure Water can help match a whole-house activated carbon system to your home’s flow rate and typical water use so 1,2-dichlorobenzene is addressed dependably.
