Including filter system and high-performance Oxadiazon filter.
Oxadiazon is a herbicide used to control weeds and can enter source water through runoff. Because you can’t see or taste it, the only way to know if oxadiazon is in your water is to test. Many Selman homeowners prefer to limit potential exposure as a precaution; treating water at the point where it enters your house makes it easier to protect every tap, from showers to kitchen sinks.
Water that looks and tastes normal can still contain man-made organic compounds only detectable by lab testing. Oxadiazon typically comes from runoff or incidental contamination rather than the minerals that create scale, so common fixes for hardness or sediment won’t remove it. A whole-house system in your Selman residence reduces what you bathe in, cook with, and wash with — not just what you drink.
For removing oxadiazon, a whole-house activated carbon filter is the single most practical and effective choice for most homes. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic compounds as water passes through the media, and because oxadiazon is an organic herbicide, carbon filtration is typically the preferred technology. Installed at the main service line, it treats water for showers, sinks, laundry, and appliances across your Selman home in one step.
To work well, a carbon system needs adequate contact time and the right media type, such as 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 shorten contact time if the tank is too small. Adding a simple prefilter helps keep sediment from clogging or channeling the carbon bed. Mr. Pure Water can help Selman homeowners choose and size a whole-house carbon filter so oxadiazon reduction is consistent at every tap.
