Including filter system and high-performance Personal Care Products filter.
Personal care products can leave tiny residues in household water after everyday bathing, washing and disposal. This category covers everything from soaps, shampoos and lotions to deodorants, fragrances and cosmetics, plus related compounds that sometimes persist through treatment. You probably won’t detect them by smell or taste, but many June Park homeowners prefer to limit these ingredients in water used for showers, laundry and cooking. When people say PPCPs, they mean these personal care products and similar consumer chemicals that can remain in the supply at very low levels.
Because personal care products include many different chemistries, they react differently once in water — some dissolve, some cling to particles, and some break down slowly. That variability, along with changing upstream conditions and treatment methods, can cause intermittent appearance in household plumbing. For residents of June Park and surrounding Brevard County, reducing these compounds at the point where water enters your home is an effective way to get more consistent water quality across faucets, showers and appliances.
For most personal care products, the best single-filter solution 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 contaminants typically occur at very low concentrations, the important factors are adequate contact time with the carbon and a carbon tank with enough capacity to maintain strong flow throughout a hard-water system like June Park’s.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house activated carbon systems that treat water as it enters June Park homes so reduced levels reach showers, sinks and appliances. This point-of-entry approach is more effective at addressing personal care products than sediment filters alone. With the right carbon media and proper sizing for a full-home flow — and taking into account the hard water common in the area — you can improve overall water quality without changing how you use your plumbing day to day.
