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 water supplies. These personal care products — often called PPCPs — include a wide range of consumer chemicals that may persist at very low levels even after treatment. You might not detect them by taste or smell, but many Garnier homeowners choose to limit these residues in water used for bathing, laundry and cooking.
Because personal care products encompass many different formulas, they behave differently once they enter the water: some dissolve readily, others cling to particles, and some break down slowly. That variability — plus differences in source water and treatment — can mean these PPCPs appear intermittently. For Garnier households seeking a steadier, more consistent water experience, reducing personal care products at the point where water enters the home helps lower exposure at every faucet and shower.
For most personal care products, the best single-filter choice is a whole-house activated carbon system sized for full-home flow. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic compounds, including a wide range of ingredients found in personal care products and PPCPs. Because these compounds are often present at very low concentrations, effective treatment depends on providing sufficient contact time with the carbon while maintaining good flow — which is why a correctly sized, high-capacity carbon tank is typically preferred over small cartridges for whole-home protection.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house activated carbon filtration to treat water as it enters Garnier homes, so reductions happen before water reaches showers, sinks and appliances. This style of system targets personal care products that simple sediment filters don’t address, and with the right carbon media and proper sizing you can improve water quality without changing how you use your plumbing. If PPCPs are a concern, a point-of-entry carbon filter is an effective, home-wide solution.
