Including filter system and high-performance Microplastics filter.
Microplastics are tiny plastic fragments that can reach household water after larger items break down, from synthetic fabrics shedding, or from everyday wear of packaging and goods. Because they’re so small, microplastics often don’t affect taste or smell and can be easy to miss. Many Scanlon homeowners choose whole-house filtration to gain confidence about what’s coming from every faucet in their home.
Even when Scanlon tap water appears clear, tiny microplastics can still be suspended in the supply as fine particles. They may also travel attached to sediment or debris, particularly if work on plumbing or changes to source water disturb pipes. Because microplastics come in many sizes and shapes, the most reliable approach is physical removal rather than trying to mask tastes or odors. A whole-house system protects every use of water in your Scanlon home — from drinking and cooking to bathing and laundry — by catching particles before they reach fixtures and appliances.
For removing microplastics, the most effective single-filter solution for a Scanlon residence is a whole-house sediment filter with a fine micron rating that physically strains particles out of the water. As municipal or well water moves through the cartridge, suspended solids become trapped in the media, reducing the particulate load at faucets, showers, and appliances. This particle-focused design matches how microplastics behave in water, and correctly sizing the filter for your home’s flow keeps water pressure steady while expanding filtration coverage across every tap.
Real-world results depend on picking the right micron level and a sediment cartridge built for high flow and strong dirt-holding capacity. A finer rating captures smaller fragments while a higher-capacity cartridge means fewer replacements — a useful trade-off for busy Scanlon households. Because microplastics often arrive with sand, silt, and other sediments, adding a whole-house sediment stage helps maintain overall system cleanliness. Mr. Pure Water will size the filter and select the appropriate micron rating for your home so you get microplastic reduction without sacrificing everyday water pressure.
