Including filter system and high-performance Campylobacter filter.
Campylobacter is a bacterium that can enter household water after animal waste, surface runoff, or sanitation problems, and you won’t be able to detect it by taste, smell, or sight. Many homeowners search for Campylobacter jejuni specifically because it’s one of the species most often tied to water and food contamination. In Bear Hollow, where heavy rains and runoff in our humid subtropical climate can affect supplies, the bacterium may show up sporadically after events that disturb local sources or plumbing.
Water that looks clear in Bear Hollow can still harbor bacteria like Campylobacter, so relying on appearance alone isn’t enough. Private wells commonly have greater exposure, but municipal or shared systems aren’t immune to intermittent intrusions. Regular testing is the only way to know if Campylobacter jejuni or another microbe is present, and many local homeowners choose point-of-entry treatment to protect every faucet, shower and appliance inside the house.
For a single-filter whole-house option, an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system is highly effective at inactivating bacteria such as Campylobacter. UV uses a targeted wavelength of light to disrupt microorganisms’ ability to reproduce, treating water as it enters your home so showers, sinks, laundry and appliances are covered—not just one faucet. As a chemical-free solution, UV won’t alter the taste of your water and is a practical choice for Bear Hollow homeowners seeking broad bacterial protection.
A UV unit performs best when the water is clear enough for the light to reach microorganisms, so Bear Hollow homes often pair the UV chamber with a sediment prefilter to cut cloudiness and limit mineral or particulate buildup from our hard, aquifer-fed water. While the UV stage is the main defense against Campylobacter jejuni, good pretreatment preserves performance and reduces maintenance. Mr. Pure Water can size a whole-house UV system for your household flow so you get full coverage without losing pressure and dependable protection with routine upkeep.
