Including filter system and high-performance Oxadiazon filter.
Oxadiazon is a weed-control herbicide that can sometimes make its way into source water via runoff. Because it’s invisible and tasteless, the only way to know if oxadiazon is in your supply is through testing, and many Union Park homeowners choose to limit exposure as a precaution. Treating water where it enters your home keeps every tap protected and is a straightforward way to manage contaminants you can’t detect by sight or smell.
Even crystal-clear water can carry man-made organic chemicals that lab tests alone reveal. Oxadiazon is generally tied to surface runoff or incidental contamination rather than the mineral hardness that causes scale in Orange County homes, so fixes for hard water or sediment won’t reliably remove it. A whole-house system treats the water you bathe in, cook with, and launder in — not just the water you drink — which matters for households across Union Park and nearby neighborhoods like Alafaya Woods and Azalea Park.
For oxadiazon reduction, the most practical single solution for many homes is a whole-house activated carbon filter. Activated carbon adsorbs a wide range of 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, it provides treated water to showers, sinks, appliances, and laundry throughout Union Park.
To work effectively, the carbon system needs adequate contact time and the appropriate media type — for example, catalytic carbon or high-capacity granular activated carbon chosen for broad VOC and herbicide reduction. Correct sizing is important in hard-water areas like much of the Orlando/Orange County region, since undersized tanks or excessive flow can shorten contact time and reduce adsorption. A simple prefilter helps protect the carbon by removing sediment that could cause channeling, and Mr. Pure Water can help pick and size a whole-house carbon system so oxadiazon reduction is consistent across every tap in your Union Park home.
