Including filter system and high-performance Bisphenol A (BPA) filter.
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a man-made compound used in some plastics and resins that can sometimes make its way into water in very small amounts. Most people learn about BPA from food packaging, but it can also appear when plastic materials contact water during production, storage, or distribution. Because BPA is a trace contaminant, it usually won’t change the taste, smell, or clarity of your tap water. Many Woods homeowners choose to minimize BPA exposure when practical, including through choosing filtration options for their household supply.
BPA is considered an “emerging” contaminant because it may exist at low concentrations that typical sediment filters don’t address. It can enter water supplies through contact with plastics, liners, or coatings, or from environmental pathways affecting source waters. Replacing plastics in the kitchen helps, but doesn’t control what comes from every faucet. In Woods, a whole-house filtration strategy ensures consistent treated water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry across your entire home.
When homeowners want to reduce Bisphenol A (BPA) throughout the house, a high-quality activated carbon filter is generally the best single-filter choice. Activated carbon works by adsorption, trapping many organic compounds as water flows through the media. Installed as a whole-house point-of-entry unit, an activated carbon filter treats all incoming water to extend BPA reduction beyond a single tap so you get treated water for everyday use in every part of your Woods home.
Carbon filters vary in effectiveness, so system design matters: the type of carbon, contact time, and correct sizing for your home’s flow rate all affect performance. A properly sized whole-house activated carbon system increases water-to-carbon contact and improves reduction of contaminants such as BPA, while avoiding the limits of countertop pitchers or single-faucet devices that only protect one fixture. Mr. Pure Water in Woods can help size and match a whole-house carbon solution to your plumbing and water use so filtration stays reliable day after day.
