Including filter system and high-performance Oxadiazon filter.
Oxadiazon is a herbicide used to control weeds and can sometimes enter source water through runoff. Because you can’t see or taste it, testing is the only reliable way to know whether oxadiazon is in your supply. Many New Home homeowners choose to limit potential exposure as a precaution, and treating water at the point of entry makes it easy to protect every tap in the house.
Even when water in New Home looks clear and tastes fine, man-made organic chemicals like oxadiazon can be dissolved and undetectable without lab testing. Oxadiazon is more likely to come from runoff or incidental contamination than from the minerals that cause hardness or scale, so typical fixes for hardness or sediment won’t address it. A whole-house solution reduces what you bathe in, cook with, and wash with — not just what you sip from the kitchen tap.
For reducing oxadiazon, a whole-house activated carbon filter is the single most effective, practical choice for most homes in New Home. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic compounds as water passes through the media, and because oxadiazon is an organic herbicide, carbon filtration is generally the go-to technology for this class of contaminants. Installed at the main service line, it treats water used in showers, sinks, laundry, and appliances in one step.
To work well in a New Home residence, the carbon system needs adequate contact time and the right media format — for example, catalytic carbon or high-capacity granular activated carbon chosen for broad VOC and herbicide reduction. Proper sizing is important because high household flow rates can reduce adsorption if the tank is too small. Adding a simple prefilter helps keep sediment from clogging or channeling the carbon bed. Mr. Pure Water can assess your home and recommend the right whole-house carbon filter so oxadiazon reduction stays consistent at every tap.
