Including filter system and high-performance Enteric Viruses filter.
Enteric viruses are tiny infectious agents that can enter household water when human or animal waste reaches a source. Because they’re invisible to the eye, water from a Century tap may look clear yet still carry risk. While these viruses are often a concern with private wells, flooding, or breaks in distribution lines, any homeowner in Century can benefit from learning about the issue. If you have worries about your water, a professional test is the best way to determine whether enteric viruses are present.
Viral contamination isn’t something you can reliably spot by smell or sight, and levels can change with conditions upstream or after heavy rain. That unpredictability leads many Century homeowners to choose a whole-house strategy that treats incoming water before it reaches kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, and showers. Treating water at the point it enters your home helps ensure consistent protection for every faucet rather than relying on a single point-of-use device.
For enteric viruses, the single most effective whole-house option is ultraviolet (UV) disinfection installed on the main service line. UV systems in Century homes inactivate microorganisms as water flows past a high-intensity UV lamp inside a sealed chamber, treating every gallon without altering taste. When sized for your household flow rate, a UV system keeps disinfection steady even during periods of higher demand so taps and showers are protected throughout the house.
UV systems perform best when paired with proper pretreatment, because cloudy water, sediment, or mineral staining can block UV light and reduce effectiveness. That’s why most installations include a sediment prefilter to keep the UV chamber clear and maintain designed flow rates. Regular upkeep—such as replacing the lamp on schedule and cleaning the protective quartz sleeve—is also essential. With correct installation and maintenance, UV provides a simple, whole-house approach for addressing viral concerns in Century without adding chemical disinfectants at the tap.
