Including filter system and high-performance Campylobacter filter.
Campylobacter is a type of bacteria that can enter water supplies when animal waste, runoff from heavy rains, or sanitation issues affect sources. In Lely and the surrounding Collier County area, seasonal storms and surface runoff can create the kinds of conditions that allow bacteria like Campylobacter jejuni to appear. You won’t be able to detect it by taste, smell, or sight, and because it can arrive intermittently—especially after events that disturb groundwater or plumbing—relying on appearance alone isn’t safe.
Even crystal-clear water can harbor microbes, so many homeowners in Lely prefer a proactive strategy rather than guessing. Private wells and neighborhood systems such as those serving Lely Resort and nearby communities can be vulnerable to occasional bacterial intrusion, and routine testing is useful to confirm whether Campylobacter jejuni or another organism is present. Treating water at the point of entry gives whole-house protection for every faucet, shower, and appliance without having to treat individual taps.
For a single-filter whole-home solution, a UV disinfection system is highly effective at inactivating bacteria like Campylobacter. UV systems expose flowing water to a precise light wavelength that disables microorganisms so they can’t reproduce, providing coverage for showers, sinks, laundry, and appliances as water enters your Lely house. This chemical-free approach won’t alter water taste and treats the entire supply rather than only one fixture.
UV works best when the water is free of cloudiness, so it’s typically paired with a sediment prefilter to remove particulates and protect the UV chamber—especially useful in southwest Florida where hard, mineral-rich groundwater and storm-driven turbidity can strain systems. While the UV stage is the main barrier against Campylobacter jejuni, proper pretreatment reduces maintenance and helps the unit perform consistently. Mr. Pure Water can size and install a whole-house UV system to match your home’s flow needs so Lely families get reliable, full-home bacterial protection without sacrificing water pressure.
