Including filter system and high-performance Microplastics filter.
Microplastics are tiny plastic fragments that can end up in household water from breakdown of larger plastics, shedding from synthetic fabrics, and normal wear of packaging and goods. Because they’re so small, they often don’t affect taste or smell, making them easy to miss. Many Athena homeowners choose whole-house filtration for the added reassurance of knowing what’s running from every faucet.
Microplastics are tiny particles that can be suspended in water even when it looks clear, and they can also travel with sediment or debris when pipes are disturbed or source conditions change. Because these fragments come in many shapes and sizes, effective treatment focuses on physically removing particles rather than masking taste or odor. A whole-house filter protects every tap in your Athena home — from drinking and cooking to bathing and laundry — so you’re covered wherever water is used.
For removing microplastics in a single-stage setup, a whole-house sediment filter with a fine micron rating is usually the best option: it mechanically strains particles out as water flows through. The filter media captures suspended solids so fewer particulates reach faucets, showers, and appliances in Athena homes. This particle-removal approach fits how microplastics behave in water, and correctly sizing the system for your household flow keeps water pressure steady while providing filtration throughout the house.
Actual results depend on picking the right micron rating and a sediment cartridge designed for high flow and strong dirt-holding capacity. A finer micron rating will trap smaller particles, while a higher-capacity cartridge means fewer replacements. Because microplastics often arrive with sand, silt, and other sediment, adding a whole-house sediment stage helps maintain overall system cleanliness. Mr. Pure Water will help Athena homeowners select the proper filter size and micron level so you reduce microplastics without sacrificing everyday water pressure.
