Including filter system and high-performance Personal Care Products filter.
Everyday grooming and personal care use can leave behind tiny residues that sometimes enter household water. This group includes traces from soaps, shampoos, lotions, deodorants, fragrances and cosmetics — the kinds of compounds people refer to as PPCPs. You might not detect them by taste or smell, but many Mission Bay homeowners like the peace of mind that comes from limiting these consumer chemicals in bathing, cooking and laundry water.
Personal care products vary widely in formulation, so they react differently once they’re in water: some dissolve, others cling to particles, and a few degrade slowly. That variability — combined with changing upstream conditions and treatment — means levels can fluctuate. For residents of Mission Bay, treating water at the point it enters your house gives a steadier, whole-home reduction of these PPCPs so faucets and showers deliver more consistent water quality.
A single, most effective filter for many personal care product compounds is a whole-house activated carbon system sized to handle full-home flow. Activated carbon adsorbs a wide range of organic ingredients found in personal care products and PPCPs; because these contaminants are often present at very low concentrations, the carbon needs sufficient contact time while keeping strong flow. That makes a high-capacity, properly sized carbon tank preferable to small cartridge filters for Mission Bay homes.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house carbon filtration so treated water reaches every tap in your Mission Bay home before it’s used in showers, sinks, and appliances. This point-of-entry approach targets personal care products that sediment or basic filters can’t remove on their own. With the right carbon media and system sizing tailored for your household, you’ll get improved water quality throughout the house without changing daily routines — a practical step if you’re concerned about PPCPs.
