Including filter system and high-performance Campylobacter filter.
Campylobacter is a bacterium that can enter drinking water after animal waste, surface runoff, or sanitation problems. It isn’t something you can reliably detect by taste, smell, or sight, and homeowners often look for Campylobacter jejuni specifically because it’s a common species linked to waterborne illness. In places like the Lorida/Lake Placid area where private wells and rural runoff can affect supplies, the bacterium may appear intermittently after storms or disturbances to a source.
Even crystal-clear water can carry bacteria, so many Lorida residents choose treatment over guesswork. Private wells around Highlands County can be more susceptible to contamination, and the hard water common here adds another reason to take a dependable approach. Regular testing will confirm whether Campylobacter jejuni or another microbe is present, and installing treatment at the home’s point of entry ensures every tap—from showers to laundry—gets the same protection.
A single, whole-house ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system is one of the most effective single-filter options for inactivating bacteria like Campylobacter. UV treats flowing water by exposing microorganisms to a precise wavelength of light that stops them from reproducing, protecting all fixtures and appliances without adding chemicals or altering taste. For homeowners around Lake Istokpoga and the wider Lorida area, a properly sized UV unit gives full-home coverage without relying on point-of-use devices.
UV works best when the light can reach contaminants, so pairing it with a sediment prefilter is common—especially where well water and the hard, mineral-rich conditions around Lorida can cause cloudiness and scale. The prefilter keeps the UV chamber clear and reduces maintenance, while the UV stage remains the primary barrier against Campylobacter jejuni. Mr. Pure Water can size and install a whole-house UV system to match your flow rate so you get reliable protection across your Highland County home without losing pressure.
