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 find their way into local water supplies. These personal care products — often called PPCPs — include a wide mix of consumer chemicals that may persist at very low levels. You usually won’t detect them by smell or taste, but many Eridu homeowners prefer to reduce what’s in the water used for bathing, cooking and laundry to feel more confident about household water quality.
Because the formulas behind personal care products vary, they behave differently once in water: some dissolve, some cling to particles, and others break down slowly. That variability means occurrences can fluctuate depending on where your water comes from and how it’s treated before reaching Eridu homes. Installing treatment at the point of entry helps create a more consistent water experience across showers, sinks and appliances by lowering everyday exposure to these compounds.
For most personal care products, the most reliable single-filter solution is a whole-house activated carbon system sized for full-home flow. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic ingredients found in personal care products and PPCPs, and because these contaminants are often in tiny concentrations, giving water sufficient contact time with the carbon is important while preserving household flow rates. That’s why a high-capacity, properly sized carbon tank is generally preferred over small cartridges for treating water used throughout an Eridu home.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house activated carbon systems that treat water as it enters your Eridu residence so cleaner water reaches every faucet and shower. These point-of-entry carbon filters are better suited than basic sediment filters for addressing the mix of ingredients in personal care products. With the correct carbon media and system sizing, you can improve overall water quality across your home without changing how you use plumbing day to day — a practical step if you’re concerned about PPCPs.
