Including filter system and high-performance Campylobacter filter.
Campylobacter is a bacterium that can enter drinking water following animal waste contamination, surface runoff, or sanitation problems. You won’t be able to detect it by taste, smell, or sight in your tap water, so residents in Bertha who watch for Campylobacter jejuni—the species most often associated with waterborne illness—should stay aware after events that disturb groundwater or plumbing. Because contamination can be intermittent, it can show up unexpectedly after heavy rains or other disturbances.
Even clear-looking water can harbor bacteria, which is why many Bertha homeowners avoid relying on appearance alone. Private wells in our limestone-influenced area can be especially vulnerable, but any system may experience occasional bacterial incursions. Regular testing is the only reliable way to know if Campylobacter jejuni or another microbe is present, and treating water at the main entry point provides consistent protection for every tap in the house.
A single, whole-house ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system is among the most effective single-filter options to inactivate bacteria like Campylobacter. UV exposes flowing water to a precise wavelength that prevents microbes from reproducing, protecting showers, sinks, laundry, and appliances throughout your Bertha home. Because it’s chemical-free, UV won’t alter water taste and treats the supply as it enters the house rather than at individual faucets.
UV systems work best when water is clear enough for the light to penetrate, so in hard-water areas like Bertha—where limestone-influenced groundwater can cause scale and cloudiness—UV is often paired with a sediment prefilter to remove particulates and protect the UV chamber. The UV stage is the main barrier against Campylobacter jejuni, and quality pretreatment helps ensure steady performance and simpler maintenance. Mr. Pure Water can size a whole-home UV system for your flow rate so you get full coverage without losing pressure, giving reliable bacterial protection with routine upkeep.
