Benzyl Butyl Phthalate in Springfield Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Benzyl Butyl Phthalate in the Water Supply of Springfield Florida Homes

Benzyl Butyl Phthalate is a phthalate commonly used to make some plastics more flexible. Over long periods these compounds can leach from consumer and building materials and show up at low levels in water. Because benzyl butyl phthalate is typically colorless and has no reliable taste or smell, you wouldn’t know it was present in a Springfield tap without testing. Many homeowners in the area consider treatment when they want whole-house protection from trace organic chemicals.

This contaminant is often linked to contact with plastic components and other sources that introduce organic compounds into water. It can co-occur with other man-made contaminants, particularly when water flows through or is stored in plastic pipes, tanks, or fittings. Even if your Springfield water appears clear, small amounts of trace contaminants can be present. A point-of-entry, whole-house solution treats every faucet and shower so you get protection throughout your home rather than just at the kitchen sink.
