Including filter system and high-performance Calicivirus filter.
Calicivirus refers to a family of viruses that can enter household water when contamination occurs, often linked to human waste. Because these pathogens are microscopic, your water can look clear while still posing a risk. In Old Town, homeowners may learn about possible viral issues from a well test, a public notice, or concerns after nearby plumbing or system events. Understanding how viruses travel and how they’re treated helps you make informed choices to protect every tap in your home.
Viruses are unlike visible problems such as sediment or rust — you can’t taste or see them, and boiling isn’t practical for treating an entire house. Calicivirus can enter plumbing through backflow, compromised wellheads, flooding, or other vulnerabilities, and it can move with the water supply. Even treated source water may become vulnerable if there’s a pathway for contamination. A whole-house strategy treats water where it enters your Old Town property, so bathrooms, laundry and kitchen taps receive continuous protection.
The most effective single whole-house treatment for calicivirus is ultraviolet (UV) disinfection. Rather than filtering out particles like carbon, a UV system exposes flowing water to a UV lamp inside a stainless steel chamber to inactivate microorganisms. When sized and maintained correctly, UV is broadly used for virus control because it targets contaminants that standard media can’t capture. For Old Town homeowners who want seamless, ongoing protection without changing daily water use, UV is an excellent match.
UV units perform best when the water is clear enough for light to penetrate, so they’re frequently installed downstream of a sediment prefilter; the UV lamp remains the primary defense against calicivirus. Reliable operation depends on correct flow rates, a clean quartz sleeve, and scheduled lamp replacement since UV intensity diminishes over time. UV also avoids adding chemicals or altering taste, offering a simple point-of-entry barrier for Old Town homes. Mr. Pure Water can assess your household usage and water conditions to recommend a properly sized whole-house UV system.
