Including filter system and high-performance Oxadiazon filter.
Oxadiazon is a herbicide used to control weeds that can sometimes reach drinking sources through runoff or other pathways. Because you can’t see or taste it, the only way to know whether oxadiazon is in your water is to test it. Many New Harmony homeowners choose to limit their household exposure as a precaution; treating water at the point where it enters your home is an effective way to protect every tap without having to address each fixture individually.
Water that looks and tastes fine can still contain man-made organic chemicals that only show up on lab reports. Oxadiazon is linked to runoff and incidental contamination rather than the mineral issues that cause scale or spotting, so standard hardness or sediment fixes won’t reliably remove it. For New Harmony families who want cleaner water for bathing, cooking, and laundry — not just for drinking — a whole-house solution provides broad protection across the home.
The single most practical option for reducing oxadiazon in a household 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 typically the recommended technology for this class of contaminants. Installed at your main service line in New Harmony, a properly designed carbon system treats water for showers, sinks, appliances, and laundry in one step.
To perform effectively, a whole-house carbon system needs sufficient contact time and the right media format — for example catalytic carbon or high-capacity granular activated carbon chosen for broad VOC and herbicide reduction. Correct sizing matters so household flow rates don’t shorten adsorption time, and a simple prefilter can protect the carbon bed from sediment and channeling. Mr. Pure Water in New Harmony can help size and specify the appropriate whole-house carbon filter so oxadiazon reduction is consistent across every tap.
