Including filter system and high-performance Enteric Viruses filter.
Enteric viruses are tiny infectious agents that can get into water when human or animal waste reaches a source. Because they’re invisible to the eye, water in Bon Ami may look clear while still carrying a potential risk. These pathogens are often a concern with private wells, flood events, or breaks in distribution lines, but any homeowner can benefit from knowing about them; if you suspect an issue, testing is the best way to determine whether viruses are present in your water.
Viral contamination isn’t something you can reliably detect by taste, smell, or sight, and levels can fluctuate depending on conditions upstream. That uncertainty leads many Bon Ami homeowners to choose a whole-house strategy that treats water as it enters the property, ensuring consistent protection for kitchens, baths, laundry areas and showers rather than relying on point-of-use fixes.
For enteric viruses, the single most effective whole-house option is ultraviolet (UV) disinfection installed on the main service line. UV systems inactivate microorganisms as water flows past a high-intensity lamp inside a sealed chamber, treating every gallon before it reaches your fixtures and doing so without altering taste. Proper sizing for your home’s flow rate is important so the unit maintains effective disinfection even during periods of higher demand.
UV works best with correct installation and adequate pretreatment, because cloudy water, sediment or mineral staining can block UV light and reduce effectiveness. That’s why UV is commonly paired with a sediment prefilter to keep the chamber clear and protect flow in Bon Ami homes. Periodic maintenance — lamp replacement and cleaning the quartz sleeve — keeps the system working reliably, offering a chemical-free whole-house solution for viral concerns when set up properly.
