Bensulide in Medley Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Bensulide in the Water Supply of Medley Florida Homes

Bensulide is a pesticide that can reach water supplies after use on lawns, turf and some crops, and it often shows up without any taste or odor you could detect. Many Medley homeowners prefer to limit their family’s exposure to pesticides and other trace organics even when levels aren’t obvious. If you’re curious or concerned about what’s in your tap water here in Miami-Dade County, treating water at the point of entry brings protection to every sink, shower and appliance in the house.

Because bensulide is an organic chemical, filtration methods that capture and adsorb organics are commonly used to address it. In Medley and the surrounding Miami metropolitan area, seasonal runoff and the Biscayne Aquifer’s influence can change water chemistry over time, so many families choose to treat all incoming water rather than just a single tap. A whole-house system provides consistent treatment for bathing, laundry, cooking and appliances—especially helpful in a hot, humid climate where hard water and scale from limestone geology are already concerns for plumbing.
