Endrin in Orsino Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Endrin in the Water Supply of Orsino Florida Homes

Endrin is a synthetic pesticide that can linger in the environment long after its use has stopped. Though it’s not commonly applied today, legacy agricultural or industrial sources can leave residues that eventually show up in groundwater and surface water. Because endrin has no distinctive taste, smell, or color, Orsino homeowners—many of whom rely on private wells near the St. Johns River basin—often only discover it through testing. If you depend on a well or are simply cautious about your family’s water, it’s sensible to check your water quality for organics like endrin.

As an organic chemical, endrin behaves differently than minerals that cause hardness or scale in our humid subtropical area. Even at very low concentrations, many homeowners prefer to lower levels of pesticide-type compounds as part of improving overall water safety and taste. A whole-house system treats water at the point it enters your Orsino home, so treated water is available for cooking, bathing, laundry and brushing teeth—rather than limiting protection to a single tap or pitcher filter.
