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 household water. This broad group of consumer compounds — often called PPCPs — can persist at very low levels even after treatment, and you may not notice them by taste or smell. Many Pace homeowners prefer to limit these residues in the water used for bathing, laundry and cooking to feel more confident about water coming from their taps.
Because personal care products include many different chemistries, they behave differently in water: some dissolve readily, some attach to particles, and others break down slowly. That variability, plus changing upstream conditions and treatment methods, means these PPCPs can appear intermittently. For families in Pace who want steadier water quality throughout the house, reducing personal care products at the point where water enters your home helps provide more consistent protection for showers, sinks and appliances.
The most effective single-filter option for many personal care products is a whole-house activated carbon system sized for full-home flow. Activated carbon adsorbs a wide range of organic compounds found in personal care products and PPCPs; because concentrations are typically tiny, the system must offer sufficient contact time while keeping strong flow to every fixture. For that reason, a correctly sized, high-capacity carbon tank is usually preferred over small cartridge filters for whole-home treatment in Pace residences.
At Mr. Pure Water we size and install point-of-entry activated carbon systems so water entering your Pace home is treated before reaching showers, sinks and appliances. Whole-house carbon filtration targets the kinds of personal care product residues that simple sediment filters won’t capture, and with the right carbon media and capacity you can improve overall water quality without changing how you use your plumbing. If PPCPs are a concern, a properly designed whole-house carbon filter is a practical, home-wide solution.
