Including filter system and high-performance Personal Care Products filter.
Everyday grooming and beauty routines can leave trace ingredients that end up in household water when soaps, shampoos, lotions, deodorants, fragrances and cosmetics are rinsed or disposed of. These residues — often called PPCPs — are generally present at very low levels and usually can’t be detected by taste or smell, but many Peck homeowners prefer to limit them in the water used for bathing, cooking and laundry. Treating water with that goal in mind helps reduce the variety of consumer chemicals that can persist after typical treatment.
Because personal care products include many different formulas, they behave differently once they enter the water system: some dissolve, some attach to particles, and some break down slowly. Their presence can vary with source water and treatment, so concentrations may be inconsistent over time. Installing treatment at the point where water enters your Peck house gives you a more predictable, home-wide reduction so every faucet and shower delivers a more consistent water experience.
For most personal care products, the best single-filter option is a whole-house activated carbon system sized for full-home flow. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic compounds found in personal care products and PPCPs, and because these contaminants are often at very small concentrations, the system needs adequate contact time with the media while preserving strong flow. That’s why a properly sized, high-capacity carbon tank installed for whole-home service is generally preferred over small cartridge filters.
At Mr. Pure Water we design whole-house activated carbon systems to treat water as it enters Peck homes, so reduction happens before water reaches showers, sinks and appliances. This approach is more effective for targeting personal care products than basic sediment filtration alone, and with the right carbon media and sizing you won’t need to change how you use your plumbing daily. If PPCPs are a concern, a point-of-entry carbon filter is a practical, home-wide solution.
