Including filter system and high-performance Personal Care Products filter.
Everyday use of soaps, shampoos, lotions, deodorants, fragrances and cosmetics can leave trace ingredients that enter local water systems. These personal care products — sometimes called PPCPs — include a wide range of consumer chemicals that may persist at very low levels even after treatment. You often won’t detect them by smell or taste, but many Saint Lucie Village homeowners prefer to limit what’s in the water they bathe with, cook with, and wash clothing in.
Because personal care products span many formulations, they behave differently once in water: some dissolve, others bind to particles, and some degrade slowly. Their presence can vary based on upstream conditions and how the supply is treated, which means concentrations may be inconsistent. For residents of Saint Lucie Village and nearby areas of St. Lucie County, treating water at the point of entry helps provide a more consistent experience at every faucet and shower throughout your home.
A single most-effective whole-house option for many personal care products is an activated carbon system sized for full-home flow. Activated carbon adsorbs numerous organic compounds found in personal care products and PPCPs, and because these contaminants are often at very low concentrations, the system must provide sufficient contact time while preserving water pressure. For whole-home use, a high-capacity carbon tank chosen to match your household flow is generally more effective than small cartridges.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house activated carbon filtration at the point where water enters your Saint Lucie Village home so treated water reaches showers, sinks and appliances first. This approach is better suited to address personal care products than basic sediment filters alone, especially in our hard coastal water where mineral scale can affect plumbing. With proper carbon media selection and sizing, you can reduce PPCPs across the house without changing daily habits.
