Including filter system and high-performance Oxadiazon filter.
Oxadiazon is a herbicide used to control weeds that can sometimes reach source water through runoff. It’s often present at very low concentrations when it occurs, but many Delta homeowners choose to limit any exposure as a precaution. Because oxadiazon has no color or taste, the only way to know if it’s in your water is through testing; treating water at the point where it enters your Delta home makes addressing the whole-house supply straightforward.
Even clear, good-tasting water can contain man-made organic chemicals that only labs can detect. Oxadiazon is generally linked to runoff or incidental contamination rather than the common minerals that produce scale or spotting, so fixes for hardness or sediment won’t reliably remove it. Installing treatment at the main line in your Delta residence reduces oxadiazon exposure from showers, faucets, laundry and appliances, not just the glass you drink from.
For oxadiazon reduction, a whole-house activated carbon filter is the single most practical and effective choice for most homes. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic compounds as water passes through the media, and because oxadiazon is an organic herbicide, carbon filtration is the preferred technology. When sized and installed at the main water entry to your Delta home, it treats water for every tap in one step.
A carbon system will perform best with sufficient contact time and the right media—options like catalytic carbon or high-capacity granular activated carbon are commonly chosen for broad VOC and herbicide reduction. Proper sizing is important for Delta households because high flow rates can shorten contact time and reduce adsorption if the tank is undersized. Adding a simple prefilter helps protect the carbon by removing sediment before it reaches the media. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Delta home and recommend the right whole-house carbon setup so oxadiazon reduction is reliable at every tap.
