Including filter system and high-performance Triclosan filter.
Triclosan is an antibacterial ingredient found in some soaps, toothpastes and personal care products; because it rinses down drains, tiny amounts can make their way into waterways and occasionally into drinking water sources. Many Perkins homeowners prefer to minimize trace contaminants like triclosan throughout the house to get more consistent, better-tasting water. If you’re wondering what’s in your water, taking steps to reduce exposure at every tap is a simple, practical choice.
Even crystal-clear water can contain low-level organic compounds you can’t detect by sight or taste. Triclosan is often labeled an “emerging contaminant,” so it may not appear in routine local tests or reports and can leave householders unsure how to manage it for daily tasks like cooking, bathing, and brushing teeth. In Perkins, a whole-house strategy lets you treat water as it enters your home rather than relying solely on a single faucet filter.
To reduce triclosan throughout the house, a whole-house activated carbon filter is typically the most effective single-filter choice. Activated carbon works by adsorbing many organic chemicals, including triclosan, and when installed at the main water line it provides treated water to showers, sinks and appliances. This approach gives Perkins families consistent protection without changing everyday water use.
A properly sized carbon media tank filled with high-quality activated carbon gives the longer contact time needed to capture organics like triclosan. These whole-house systems are often used with a prefilter to cut sediment and preserve carbon performance. Because flow rates and home water conditions vary from house to house, selecting the right media volume matters to maintain pressure and convenience—Mr. Pure Water can help Perkins homeowners choose the appropriate carbon whole-house filter for their needs.
