Including filter system and high-performance Calicivirus filter.
Calicivirus refers to a group of tiny viruses that can enter water supplies when contamination occurs, often via human waste. Because these pathogens are microscopic, water can appear perfectly clear yet still pose a risk. Scanlon homeowners may learn about potential viral problems from a utility notice, a private well test, or concern after local flooding or a system issue; understanding how viruses travel and are controlled helps you make choices that protect every tap.
Viruses behave differently than visible issues like sediment, rust, or chlorine taste — you can’t see or smell them, and boiling isn’t practical for treating an entire house. Calicivirus can enter a home through compromised plumbing, backflow, stormwater impacts, or vulnerabilities in a private well, and it can move with the water as it flows. A point-of-entry, whole-house strategy treats water as it arrives to Scanlon homes so bathrooms, laundry and kitchen faucets all benefit from the same protection.
The single most effective whole-house option for calicivirus is ultraviolet (UV) disinfection. Rather than filtering out particles like a sediment or carbon unit, a UV system uses a lamp inside a stainless steel chamber to inactivate microorganisms as water passes through. When sized and maintained correctly, UV is a common and reliable choice for viral control because it addresses threats you can’t see with ordinary media, and it provides continuous treatment without changing how you use water day to day in Scanlon homes.
UV systems perform best when water is clear enough for light to penetrate, so they’re typically installed after a sediment prefilter; the UV lamp itself is the primary barrier against calicivirus. Long-term effectiveness depends on proper flow rates, a clean quartz sleeve, and regular lamp replacement because UV output falls off with time. UV doesn’t add chemicals or alter taste, making it a straightforward point-of-entry solution — Mr. Pure Water can assess your Scanlon household’s usage and water conditions and recommend the right-sized whole-house UV system.
