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 sometimes make their way into water supplies. These personal care products — often called PPCPs — include a wide mix of residues and related consumer chemicals that may be present at very low concentrations you rarely detect by smell or taste. Many Malone homeowners prefer to limit those unseen compounds in the water they use for bathing, cooking and laundry, even when levels are small or intermittent.
Because the ingredients in personal care products vary so much, they behave differently in water: some dissolve, some attach to particles, and others degrade slowly. That variability — along with changes in treatment and source water — means PPCPs can appear sporadically. For households in Malone, point-of-entry treatment is a reliable way to reduce variability at the taps and showers, helping provide a more consistent water experience throughout the home.
For many personal care product residues, a whole-house activated carbon system sized for full-home flow is the most effective single-filter solution. Activated carbon adsorbs a broad range of organic compounds, including many ingredients found in personal care products and PPCPs. Because these substances are often at very low concentrations, the system needs sufficient carbon capacity and contact time while still supporting normal household flow — which is why a properly sized carbon tank is usually preferred over small cartridge filters for whole-home protection.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house activated carbon filtration to treat water as it enters Malone homes, so reduction happens before water reaches showers, sinks and appliances. This approach targets personal care products that sediment filters can’t address and, with the right carbon media and sizing, improves overall water quality without changing how you use your plumbing. If you’re worried about PPCPs, a point-of-entry carbon tank is a practical way to protect water throughout your house.
