Including filter system and high-performance Oxadiazon filter.
Oxadiazon is a herbicide used to manage weeds and can sometimes enter source water from runoff. Because you can’t see or taste it, the only way to know if oxadiazon is in your supply is a lab test. Many Hanson homeowners choose to limit exposure as a precaution; treating water at the point of entry—so every tap, shower and appliance is covered—keeps the solution simple and comprehensive.
Even when Hanson water looks clear and tastes fine, synthetic organic chemicals like oxadiazon can be dissolved and invisible without testing. Oxadiazon is usually linked to runoff or incidental contamination rather than the minerals that cause hard-water scale, so typical hardness or sediment fixes won’t reliably remove it. A whole-house system helps protect what you bathe in, cook with, and launder with, not only what you drink.
For reducing oxadiazon, a whole-house activated carbon filter is the single most practical and effective option 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 for this class of contaminants. When installed at the main water line in your Hanson home, it treats showers, sinks, laundry and appliances in one continuous step.
A carbon system performs best with sufficient contact time and the right media—options like catalytic carbon or high-capacity granular activated carbon are chosen for broad VOC and herbicide reduction. Proper sizing is important for Hanson households because high flow rates can shorten contact time if the tank is undersized. Adding a simple prefilter helps keep sediment from channeling or clogging the carbon bed. Mr. Pure Water can assess your home and match a whole-house carbon filter so oxadiazon reduction is consistent at every tap.
