Including filter system and high-performance Oxadiazon filter.
Oxadiazon is a herbicide used to control weeds that can occasionally reach source water through runoff. In Pace, homeowners who want extra peace of mind often choose to test their water — you can’t see or taste oxadiazon, so a lab test is the only way to know if it’s present. If you’d like protection at every tap rather than treating individual faucets, addressing the water at the main entry point makes the solution simple and comprehensive for your whole Pace house.
Even when Pace water appears clear and pleasant, some man-made organic chemicals dissolve without affecting taste or clarity and only show up on lab reports. Oxadiazon usually comes from runoff or incidental contamination rather than from the minerals that cause scale, so typical fixes for hardness or sediment won’t remove it. Installing whole-house treatment means you reduce exposure in showers, laundry, cooking, and other everyday uses — not just in drinking water.
The most practical, single solution 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 the preferred technology for this class of contaminants. When installed at the main water line in a Pace home, it treats water for every faucet, shower, and appliance in one step.
For reliable performance in Pace homes, the carbon system needs adequate contact time and the right media type — for example, catalytic carbon or high-capacity granular activated carbon chosen for broad VOC and herbicide reduction. Properly sizing the tank matters because very high household flow rates can shorten contact time and reduce adsorption. Adding a simple sediment prefilter helps protect the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. Mr. Pure Water can help you size and specify a whole-house carbon system so oxadiazon reduction is consistent across every tap.
