Including filter system and high-performance Hexachlorobenzene filter.
Hexachlorobenzene is a man-made chemical that can persist in the environment and migrate through soil and waterways, sometimes turning up in trace amounts in household water. Because it breaks down slowly, it can remain long after its original use and is usually undetectable by sight or smell—testing is the only reliable way to find it. Westgate homeowners concerned about possible contamination often choose to treat water where it enters the house so every faucet is protected.
Contaminants at very low concentrations can still matter over time, and hexachlorobenzene (also known by other names) tends to associate with organic material rather than dissolving like common salts. That tendency affects how best to remove it and is why a targeted whole-house approach is more dependable than relying only on basic sediment filters. In Westgate, where hard water and seasonal service disruptions from hurricanes are part of life, a whole-home system helps keep water consistent for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry.
The most effective single-filter option for reducing hexachlorobenzene is a whole-house activated carbon filter, typically using granular activated carbon (GAC). GAC’s large surface area adsorbs many organic chemicals as water flows through, and because hexachlorobenzene is a chlorinated organic compound, carbon media is well suited to treat it when sized for your home’s flow and contact time. Installed at the main service line, this filter treats water for every faucet and fixture in Westgate homes.
Mr. Pure Water configures whole-house carbon systems so the media has sufficient capacity to maintain performance during typical household use. We commonly pair sediment pre-filters with the carbon tank to protect the media from clogging—especially useful here in Palm Beach County where hard water can contribute to scale—while the activated carbon does the primary removal. If you can share a recent water report or tell us about your usage in neighborhoods like Westgate-Belvedere Homes or Golden Lakes, we’ll size the system to meet your goals without changing how you use water at home.
