Oxyfluorfen in Fidelis Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Oxyfluorfen in the Water Supply of Fidelis Florida Homes

Oxyfluorfen is a herbicide commonly used to control weeds and, like other agricultural chemicals, it can occasionally appear in water supplies. Fidelis homeowners often feel uneasy if a water test detects oxyfluorfen, even when the water looks clear and tastes normal. Because you can’t reliably spot it by smell or sight, testing is usually the first indication of a problem. Treating water where it enters your Fidelis home is a good way to protect every faucet and fixture and give you greater peace of mind.

When pesticides or herbicides show up in water, the cause is often runoff, mixing, or changes in source-water conditions and treatment. Oxyfluorfen behaves like many organic compounds, so adsorption is usually more effective than simple sediment filtration. Cartridge filters that trap sand and rust won’t reliably remove dissolved chemicals. A whole-house system in Fidelis treats water for cooking, bathing, and laundry consistently, without depending on multiple under-sink units.
