Including filter system and high-performance Bacteria filter.
Bacteria in household water can become a concern when concentrations reach levels that aren’t safe for people to use. They may get into a water supply from natural runoff, breaks in pipes, or problems with wells and plumbing, and because they’re living organisms they can multiply under favorable conditions. Bacteria won’t always change the taste or smell of water, so many Lois homeowners prefer the certainty of treated water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and brushing teeth to protect their families.
Sometimes water with bacteria may look cloudy or have an earthy odor, but it can also appear completely clear, which makes testing the only reliable way to know what’s present. If your Lois home uses a private well, regular testing and maintenance are especially important to catch issues early. A whole-house treatment approach ensures water is addressed before it reaches any faucet, shower, or appliance in your home.
The most effective single whole-house filter type for removing bacteria is ultraviolet (UV) disinfection. UV systems treat water by passing it through a sealed chamber where concentrated UV light inactivates bacteria so they can’t reproduce, all without adding chemicals. Installed at the point where water enters your Lois home, a UV system provides continuous disinfection for every tap, shower, and appliance.
For a UV system to perform reliably it needs clear water so the light can reach microorganisms, so many whole-house installations in Lois include a sediment prefilter to remove dirt and debris that could shield bacteria or foul the lamp sleeve. Properly sizing the system for your household flow rate and keeping up with lamp and sleeve maintenance are also essential. Mr. Pure Water can help Lois homeowners select and install a whole-house UV solution matched to their water source and usage.
