Including filter system and high-performance Oxadiazon filter.
Oxadiazon is a herbicide used to control weeds that can sometimes make its way into source water from runoff. Because you can’t see or taste it, testing is the only reliable way to know whether oxadiazon is present in a home’s supply. Many Aurora homeowners choose to limit exposure as a precaution; treating water at the point where it enters your house keeps contaminated water from flowing to every faucet, shower and appliance.
Even clear, good‑tasting water can contain man‑made organic compounds that only lab testing will reveal. Oxadiazon is typically tied to runoff or incidental contamination rather than the minerals that cause scale or spotting, so fixes for hardness or sediment don’t reliably remove it. A whole‑house solution in Aurora protects the water you bathe in, cook with, and launder with, not just the water you pour into a glass.
The most effective single option for reducing oxadiazon in most homes is a whole‑house activated carbon filter. Activated carbon adsorbs a wide range of organic compounds as water passes through the media, and because oxadiazon is an organic herbicide, carbon filtration is usually the preferred technology. When installed at the main water line in an Aurora residence, it treats showers, sinks, laundry and appliances in one system.
To work well, the carbon system needs adequate contact time and the right media—options like catalytic carbon or high‑capacity granular activated carbon are selected for broad VOC and herbicide reduction. Correct sizing is important because high household flow rates can shorten contact time and reduce adsorption if the tank is undersized. Adding a simple prefilter helps keep sediment from clogging the carbon bed.
