Including filter system and high-performance Calicivirus filter.
Calicivirus refers to a family of viruses that can enter drinking water when waste contaminates a system. Because these agents are microscopic the water may look and smell normal even if they’re present. In Betts, homeowners typically learn about viral risks from well testing, advisories, or incidents that raise concern; knowing how viruses behave and how they’re treated is the first step toward safer water at every tap.
Viruses don’t announce themselves like sediment, rust, or a chlorine odor, and boiling isn’t a practical fix for treating an entire house’s supply. Calicivirus can enter household water through damaged plumbing, backflow, flooding, or vulnerable private wells and can travel with the water throughout your home. A whole-house solution installed where water enters a Betts residence treats every fixture—kitchen, bathroom and laundry—so you don’t have to worry about individual points of use.
For controlling calicivirus, the most effective single style of whole-house filter is ultraviolet (UV) disinfection. UV systems don’t remove particles like a carbon or sediment filter; they inactivate microorganisms with a lamp as water passes through a stainless steel chamber. When sized and maintained correctly, UV is a widely used option for virus control and fits homeowners in Betts who want continuous, low-impact treatment without changing everyday water use.
UV works best when the incoming water is clear enough for light to penetrate, so it’s commonly paired with a sediment prefilter while the UV unit remains the primary defense for calicivirus. Reliable performance depends on correct flow rates, a clean quartz sleeve, and scheduled lamp replacement because UV output diminishes over time. UV also adds no chemicals or taste changes, making it a straightforward point-of-entry barrier; Mr. Pure Water can size and recommend the right whole-house UV system for your Betts home and water conditions.
