Including filter system and high-performance Oxadiazon filter.
Oxadiazon is a herbicide used to control weeds and can sometimes reach drinking water through runoff. Because you can’t see or taste oxadiazon (or its other names), testing is the only way to know if it’s in your supply. Many Runnymede homeowners — especially those on private wells or dealing with Florida’s humid subtropical runoff patterns — choose to address the whole-house water at the main line so every tap is covered rather than treating one faucet at a time.
Clear, good-tasting water can still contain man-made organic compounds that lab tests detect but the senses do not. Oxadiazon is generally tied to runoff and incidental contamination instead of the minerals that cause the scale and spotting many Florida homes see. That means softeners or sediment-only fixes won’t reliably remove it. A whole-house system in Runnymede reduces what you bathe in, cook with, and wash with — not just what you drink.
For oxadiazon, the most practical and effective single option for most homes is a whole-house activated carbon filter. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic chemicals as water passes through the media, and because oxadiazon is an organic herbicide, carbon filtration is generally the preferred technology. Installed at the main water line, it treats water used for showers, sinks, laundry and appliances in one consistent step for Runnymede residences.
A carbon system works best when it provides sufficient contact time and uses the appropriate media — for example, catalytic carbon or high-capacity granular activated carbon selected to address a range of VOCs and herbicides. Proper sizing is important in humid-subtropical Runnymede homes, since high household flow rates can shorten contact time and reduce adsorption. Adding a prefilter to capture sediment (common in Florida water supplies) helps prevent channeling and extends carbon life. Mr. Pure Water can assess your home and recommend the right whole-house carbon setup so oxadiazon reduction is consistent across every tap.
