Including filter system and high-performance Personal Care Products filter.
Everyday bathing, laundry and cleanup can wash tiny residues from soaps, shampoos, lotions, deodorants, fragrances and cosmetics into the local water system. These personal care products — also called PPCPs — include a mix of related consumer chemicals that may persist at low concentrations even after treatment. You often won’t notice them by smell or taste, yet many Ocean Vue homeowners prefer to limit those trace ingredients in water used for cooking, cleaning and personal care.
Because personal care products cover many formulations, they act differently once they reach water: some dissolve, some cling to particles, and some degrade slowly over time. That variability means their presence in tap water can change with upstream conditions and treatment methods. For Ocean Vue residents who want steadier water quality across showers, sinks and appliances, treating water at the point of entry helps reduce daily exposure from these intermittent PPCPs.
For most personal care products, the best single-filter solution is a whole-house activated carbon system sized to handle your home’s full flow. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic compounds found in personal care products and PPCPs; because these contaminants are typically present at very low concentrations, the filter needs enough carbon and contact time while still supporting normal household flow. That’s why a correctly sized, high-capacity carbon tank is generally preferred over small cartridge filters for whole-home treatment.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house activated carbon systems that treat water as it enters Ocean Vue homes, reducing personal care products before water reaches showers, faucets and appliances. This point-of-entry approach is more effective for addressing PPCPs than basic sediment filters alone, and with the right carbon media and sizing you won’t need to change how you use your plumbing. If you live on the coast, our designs also consider salt-air corrosion and the occasional service interruptions that can affect equipment performance.
