Bensulide in Winter Garden Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Bensulide in the Water Supply of Winter Garden Florida Homes

Bensulide is a pesticide sometimes used on turf and agricultural areas that can migrate into water sources. Because these chemicals are often present at low concentrations without a taste or odor, homeowners in Winter Garden and greater Orange County may not realize they’re there. Many local residents prefer to limit contact with pesticide-related compounds wherever possible; treating water at the point of entry gives you control over what comes through every tap in your home, from the kitchen to showers and laundry.

Bensulide is an organic compound, so filtration methods that capture or adsorb organics are generally used to address it. In Winter Garden, where municipal and well water often run hard and seasonal runoff can vary with our humid subtropical climate, water chemistry and source changes can affect what arrives at the tap. For that reason many homeowners opt for whole-house treatment rather than a single faucet device — a single point-of-entry system treats water for everyday uses across the house, including showers near Downtown Winter Garden and appliances that can suffer from mineral scale.
