Including filter system and high-performance Hexachlorobenzene filter.
Hexachlorobenzene is a man-made chemical that can persist in the environment and travel through soil and waterways, sometimes turning up in drinking water at trace levels. Because it breaks down slowly, it can remain long after its original use and usually can’t be seen or smelled, so routine water testing is the only reliable way to detect it. If you live in Patrick AFB and want added protection, treating the water where it enters your home is a practical first step.
Even crystal-clear tap water can contain low concentrations of contaminants that matter over time. Hexachlorobenzene tends to cling to organic materials rather than behaving like dissolved salts, which affects the removal methods that work best. That’s why a targeted, whole-house filtration approach is often more dependable than basic sediment-only systems. For Patrick AFB households—where hard water can already stress plumbing—whole-home treatment helps keep drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry water consistently protected.
The single most effective whole-house option for reducing hexachlorobenzene is an activated carbon filter. Granular activated carbon (GAC) provides a large surface area for adsorption, capturing many chlorinated organic compounds as water flows through. Because hexachlorobenzene is a chlorinated organic, properly sized carbon media with adequate contact time is well suited to treating it. When installed at the main line in a Patrick AFB home, this system treats every faucet and fixture rather than just a single point.
At Mr. Pure Water we size whole-house carbon systems so the media maintains performance during typical household demand, including homes in Brevard County’s humid subtropical climate. Pairing a sediment pre-filter with the carbon tank is common to reduce clogging from hard-water minerals and particulates, letting the carbon focus on removing organics like hexachlorobenzene. With the right configuration for your Patrick AFB property and a recent water report, we’ll match system capacity and flow rate to your family’s needs so you don’t have to change how you use water.
