Including filter system and high-performance Personal Care Products filter.
Personal care products can leave tiny residues that enter water supplies through normal use and disposal. This category includes traces from soaps, shampoos, lotions, deodorants, fragrances and cosmetics, plus related consumer compounds that may persist at very low levels. You often won’t detect them by taste or smell, yet many Koerber homeowners prefer to reduce what reaches their showers, laundry and kitchen. When you hear PPCPs, it refers to these personal care products and similar chemicals that sometimes remain after treatment.
Because personal care products span many formulations, they behave differently in water: some dissolve, some bind to particles, and some degrade slowly. That variety — and changing upstream conditions or treatment — means concentrations can be inconsistent. If you want steadier water quality across every faucet in your Koerber house, treating the water at the point it enters your home helps limit everyday exposure from bathing, cooking and cleaning.
For most personal care products, a whole-house activated carbon system sized for full-home flow is the single most effective filter choice. Activated carbon removes many organic compounds by adsorption, including a broad range of ingredients found in personal care products and PPCPs. Because these contaminants are often present at very low concentrations, the system needs sufficient contact time between water and carbon while maintaining good flow — which is why a properly sized, high-capacity carbon tank is usually preferred over small cartridge filters for whole-home use.
At Mr. Pure Water we design whole-house carbon filters to treat incoming water before it reaches showers, sinks and appliances in Koerber homes. This approach is effective for targeting personal care products that pass through basic sediment filters, and choosing the right carbon media and tank size lets you improve water quality without changing daily plumbing use. If PPCPs are a concern, a point-of-entry activated carbon system is a practical step for protecting your entire house.
