Including filter system and high-performance Microplastics filter.
Microplastics are tiny plastic fragments that can enter household water from the 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 and can be easy to miss. Many Peck homeowners prefer the reassurance of a whole-house approach so they know what’s coming from every faucet.
Even when Peck tap water looks clear, tiny microplastics can still be suspended as fine particles. They often travel with sediment or other debris, especially after changes in source water or any plumbing work that disturbs lines. Because microplastics come in many sizes and shapes, the most reliable strategy is to physically capture particles rather than mask tastes or odors. A whole-house filter protects every use in your Peck home — drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry — so you get consistent coverage at every faucet.
For removing microplastics in a whole-house setup, a sediment filter with a fine micron rating is usually the best single-filter option: it literally strains particles out of the water. As water flows through the cartridge, suspended solids are trapped, reducing particulates that reach your Peck faucets, showers and appliances. This particle-focused approach matches how microplastics behave in water, and when sized for your home’s flow it keeps water pressure steady while improving filtration throughout the house.
Actual performance depends on choosing the right micron rating and a sediment cartridge built for high flow and strong dirt-holding capacity. A finer micron level captures smaller fragments, while a higher-capacity cartridge means fewer replacements between services. Because microplastics often arrive with sand, silt and other sediment, adding a whole-house sediment stage helps keep your plumbing and fixtures cleaner overall. Mr. Pure Water in Peck can recommend the correct filter size and micron rating so you reduce microplastics without sacrificing everyday pressure.
