Including filter system and high-performance Personal Care Products filter.
Everyday use and disposal of soaps, shampoos, lotions, deodorants, fragrances and cosmetics can leave trace ingredients that sometimes make their way into household water. These personal care products — often called PPCPs — include a wide range of consumer chemicals that may persist at very low levels and aren’t always detectable by taste or smell. Many Eastway Park homeowners prefer to limit what’s in the water used for bathing, laundry and cooking, especially in our humid subtropical climate where plumbing can already be affected by mineral-rich, hard water.
Because personal care products span many formulas, they behave differently once they enter the water: some dissolve readily, others attach to particles, and some break down only slowly. That variability—combined with changes in treatment or source water—can lead to intermittent presence of PPCPs. For Eastway Park residents seeking a steadier water quality throughout their homes, reducing these compounds at the point of entry helps limit daily exposure at every faucet and shower.
For most personal care products, a whole-house activated carbon system sized for full-home flow is the single most effective filter strategy. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic compounds, including a broad range of ingredients associated with personal care products and PPCPs. Because these compounds are typically present in very small concentrations, it’s important to provide sufficient contact time with the carbon while preserving good flow—so a properly sized, high-capacity carbon tank is generally preferred over small cartridge options for whole-home treatment in Eastway Park.
Mr. Pure Water installs point-of-entry activated carbon systems that treat water as it enters Eastway Park homes, reducing personal care products before water reaches showers, sinks and appliances. This whole-house approach addresses PPCPs that simple sediment filters can’t reliably capture, and with the right carbon media and sizing you won’t need to change how you use your plumbing. If you’re concerned about those persistent personal care product residues, a properly sized whole-home carbon filter is a practical step for cleaner water throughout your house.
