Including filter system and high-performance Oxadiazon filter.
Oxadiazon is a herbicide used to control weeds that can enter source water through runoff. Because you can’t see or taste it, the only way to know if oxadiazon (also known by other names) is in your supply is to test, and many Jones Landing homeowners choose to be cautious. Treating water at the point where it enters your house makes it easy to protect every faucet and fixture without testing and treating each separately.
Even in our humid subtropical area around Jones Landing, water that looks clear can still carry man-made organic chemicals dissolved at undetectable levels. Oxadiazon tends to come from runoff rather than the minerals that cause hard-water spotting, so solutions for scale or sediment won’t reliably remove it. A whole-house system treats water used for bathing, cooking, laundry and cleaning, giving broader protection than a drinking water filter alone.
The single most practical option for reducing oxadiazon in a home is a whole-house activated carbon filter. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic compounds as water passes through the media, and because oxadiazon is an organic herbicide, carbon filtration is generally the recommended technology. When installed at the main water line in a Jones Landing home, it treats water for showers, sinks, appliances and more in one step.
A carbon tank will perform best when it provides sufficient contact time and uses the right media—options like catalytic carbon or high-capacity granular activated carbon are chosen for broad VOC and herbicide reduction. Correct sizing matters for Jones Landing households, since high flow rates can shorten contact time and reduce adsorption if the tank is undersized. Adding a simple prefilter helps protect the carbon from sediment and channeling. Mr. Pure Water can assess your home and recommend the appropriate whole-house carbon setup to help keep oxadiazon reduction consistent throughout the house.
