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 end up in our water. These personal care products — often called PPCPs — include a wide range of consumer chemicals that may persist at very low levels. You usually won’t taste or smell them, but many Maitland homeowners prefer to limit what’s in water used for bathing, laundry and cooking, especially in areas with hard water that can already stress plumbing and appliances.
Because personal care products span many formulations, they act differently once they enter the water supply: some dissolve, some cling to particles, and others break down slowly. That variability — combined with differences in source and treatment — means PPCPs can appear intermittently in tap water. For residents of Maitland and nearby Orange County neighborhoods, reducing these compounds at the point where water enters your home gives a steadier, more consistent result across all faucets and showers.
The single most effective whole-house option for many personal care products is an activated carbon system sized for full-home flow. Activated carbon adsorbs a wide range of organic compounds, including many ingredients found in personal care products and PPCPs. Because these contaminants are typically present at very low concentrations, good results depend on enough contact time with the carbon while maintaining strong flow — which is why a properly sized, high-capacity carbon tank is generally preferred over small point cartridges for whole-home treatment.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house activated carbon systems that treat water as it enters your Maitland home, so reductions occur before water reaches showers, sinks and appliances. This approach addresses personal care products that sediment filters alone won’t catch, and with the right carbon media and sizing you can improve overall water quality without changing how you use plumbing day to day. If PPCPs are a concern in your household, a point-of-entry carbon filter is a practical, home-wide solution.
