Including filter system and high-performance Benzene filter.
Benzene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can reach drinking water when petroleum products or industrial solvents contaminate sources. Even clear-looking water can contain VOCs like benzene, so Canal Point homeowners often want protection beyond bottled water or a single sink filter. Given our proximity to Lake Okeechobee, the Herbert Hoover Dike and the canal network, local water sources and quality can vary, so it helps to know common contamination pathways and typical treatment options if you’re concerned about benzene in your home.
Benzene commonly shows up with fuel-related releases — from storage tanks, spills or other contamination events — and can also come from certain industrial processes or materials that contact water. Because benzene moves easily through water and can volatilize into the air during showers, many Canal Point families choose a whole-house solution so the water used for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry is addressed, not just a single tap.
To reduce benzene throughout the home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is widely regarded as the most effective single-filter choice. Activated carbon adsorbs many VOCs, including benzene, as water flows through the carbon media. Whole-house carbon tanks are typically larger than point-of-use cartridges to provide longer contact time, and when sized correctly they treat incoming water so every fixture in your Canal Point house receives filtered water.
A properly designed GAC system matches carbon volume and flow rate to your household’s usage so the media has enough contact time to capture VOCs effectively. Because carbon does become exhausted, replacing the media on schedule is important to keep benzene reduction consistent. Many Canal Point homes also benefit from prefiltration to remove sediment — especially helpful in our humid subtropical climate where outdoor conditions can affect plumbing — and Mr. Pure Water can help you select a whole-house carbon setup that fits your plumbing and filtration needs.
