Including filter system and high-performance Oxadiazon filter.
Oxadiazon is a herbicide used to control weeds, and like other lawn or agricultural chemicals it can occasionally reach source water through runoff. You can’t see or taste oxadiazon, so testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s in your supply. For homeowners in Century Village who want to reduce potential exposure from every faucet, treating water at the main entry point is a straightforward, whole-house solution.
Even when Palm Beach County water looks clear, man-made organic compounds can be dissolved and go undetected without lab analysis. Oxadiazon typically arrives via runoff rather than from the minerals that cause the hard water and limescale commonly found in our area, so standard softening or sediment fixes won’t reliably address it. A whole-house system protects what you shower in, cook with, and launder — not just the water you drink in Century Village.
The most practical, single option for reducing oxadiazon is a whole-house activated carbon filter. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic contaminants as water passes through the media, and because oxadiazon is an organic herbicide, carbon filtration is the preferred technology for this type of compound. Installed at the home’s main water line, a whole-house carbon system treats showers, sinks, appliances and laundry across your Century Village residence.
To work well, the carbon tank needs adequate contact time and the appropriate media—often catalytic carbon or high-capacity granular activated carbon chosen for broad VOC and herbicide reduction. Proper sizing is important for Palm Beach County homes, since high household flow rates can shorten contact time and reduce adsorption if the system is undersized. Adding a prefilter to catch sediment helps keep the carbon bed performing consistently, especially in hard-water areas like Century Village; Mr. Pure Water can assess your home and recommend the right whole-house carbon setup so oxadiazon reduction is steady at every tap.
