Including filter system and high-performance Oxadiazon filter.
Oxadiazon is a herbicide used to control weeds that can occasionally enter source water from runoff. Because you can’t see or taste it, testing is the only reliable way to know if oxadiazon is present in your water. Many Windsor residents choose to treat water at the point of entry so every tap is protected — a simple, practical step if you want to limit potential exposure throughout your home.
Even when Windsor’s water looks clear and tastes fine, certain man-made organic chemicals like oxadiazon can be dissolved and undetectable without lab testing. Oxadiazon tends to come from runoff or incidental contamination rather than the minerals that cause hardness or scale in water from the Floridan Aquifer, so typical fixes for hardness won’t remove it. A whole-house system treats the water you bathe in, cook with and wash with — not just the water you drink.
For reducing oxadiazon, a whole-house activated carbon filter is the most effective single option 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 the preferred technology. Installed at the main line, it provides treated water to showers, sinks, laundry and appliances across Windsor properties in one step.
A carbon system must have adequate contact time and the appropriate media — for example catalytic carbon or high-capacity granular activated carbon chosen for broad VOC and herbicide reduction — to work well. Proper sizing is important because high household flow rates can shorten contact time and reduce adsorption if the tank is too small. Adding a simple prefilter helps protect the carbon from sediment and channeling. Mr. Pure Water can assess Windsor homes and recommend the right whole-house carbon system to keep oxadiazon reduction consistent at every tap.
