Including filter system and high-performance Personal Care Products filter.
Everyday use and disposal of personal care products can leave tiny residues that enter local water systems. This group includes traces from soaps, shampoos, lotions, deodorants, fragrances, and cosmetics, plus related compounds often called PPCPs. You usually won’t detect them by taste or smell, but many Lewis homeowners prefer to limit these ingredients in water used for bathing, laundry, and cooking. When people say PPCPs, they mean these personal care product residues and similar consumer chemicals that can persist through treatment.
Because personal care products span many chemistries, they don’t all act the same once they enter water: some dissolve readily, others bind to particles, and some degrade slowly. That variability — and differences in source water and treatment — is why levels can vary over time. Installing treatment at the point where water enters your Lewis home helps provide a steadier, more predictable water experience by reducing personal care products across every faucet and shower.
For many personal care product compounds, a whole-house activated carbon system sized for full-home flow is the most effective single-filter choice. Activated carbon adsorbs a wide range of organic ingredients associated with personal care products and PPCPs. Because these compounds are often at very low concentrations, effective removal depends on adequate contact time with the carbon while preserving good flow — which is why a properly sized, high-capacity carbon tank is generally preferred over small cartridge filters for whole-home setups.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house carbon filtration to treat water as it enters Lewis residences, reducing personal care products before water reaches showers, sinks, and appliances. This point-of-entry approach targets compounds that sediment filters can’t effectively remove. With the right carbon media and correct sizing for your household’s flow, you can improve overall water quality without changing how you use your plumbing. If PPCPs are a concern, a whole-house activated carbon filter is a practical step for Lewis homes.
