Including filter system and high-performance Campylobacter filter.
Campylobacter is a bacterium that can enter water supplies after animal waste, surface runoff, or sanitation problems. It isn’t detectable by taste, smell, or sight, so homeowners in Runnymede won’t know it’s present just by looking at their tap. Many people are specifically concerned about Campylobacter jejuni, a common species associated with water and foodborne illness. Because contamination can be sporadic—sometimes following storms or disturbances to wells or distribution lines—it may appear unpredictably in your plumbing.
Even when Runnymede water appears crystal clear, bacteria such as Campylobacter can still be present, which is why relying on appearance isn’t a safe bet. Private wells and supplies impacted by local runoff or plumbing events can be more susceptible, and routine testing is the only way to confirm whether Campylobacter jejuni or another microbe is an issue. For many homeowners across the area, treating water at the home’s main line gives consistent protection for every faucet, shower, and appliance.
For a single, whole-home solution, a whole-house ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system is highly effective at inactivating bacteria like Campylobacter. UV systems expose flowing water to a precise wavelength of light that prevents microorganisms from reproducing, treating water as it enters the house so showers, sinks, laundry and appliances are all covered. UV is a chemical-free option that won’t change water taste—an attractive choice for Runnymede households looking for broad, low-impact protection.
UV disinfection works best when the water is clear enough for the light to reach contaminants, so it’s commonly paired with a sediment prefilter to remove cloudiness and protect the UV chamber from mineral scale and particles. In Runnymede, where many homes contend with mineral scale or well-water particulates, good pretreatment helps the UV stage focus on inactivating Campylobacter jejuni and reduces maintenance. Mr. Pure Water can size and recommend a whole-house UV system matched to your flow rate so you get full-home coverage without losing water pressure.
