Including filter system and high-performance Hexachlorobenzene filter.
Hexachlorobenzene is a man-made chemical that can persist in the environment and sometimes appears in drinking water when it moves through soil and waterways. Because it breaks down slowly, traces can remain long after use and typically cannot be seen or smelled, so testing is the only reliable way to find it. Franklin Park homeowners who are worried about possible contamination often choose to treat water at the point it enters the house for whole-home protection.
Even crystal-clear water can carry contaminants at low concentrations that matter over time. Hexachlorobenzene tends to cling to organic material rather than remaining uniformly dissolved, which affects how it’s captured by filters. For many Franklin Park households—where water quality and hardness can vary by utility or well use—a targeted whole-house filtration approach provides steady protection for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry, instead of relying solely on basic sediment filters.
To reduce hexachlorobenzene in home plumbing, a whole-house activated carbon filter is generally the best single-filter choice. Granular activated carbon (GAC) has a very high surface area that adsorbs many organic chemicals as water flows through, and because hexachlorobenzene is a chlorinated organic compound, carbon media is well suited for its removal when sized correctly for your household’s flow and contact time. Installed at the main water line in your Franklin Park home, a properly designed carbon system treats every faucet and fixture.
Mr. Pure Water configures whole-house carbon systems for Franklin Park homes so the media capacity and flow rate stay balanced throughout daily use. We commonly pair sediment pre-filtration with the carbon tank to protect the media from clogging and extend service life, while the activated carbon does the primary removal of organic contaminants.
