Including filter system and high-performance Enteric Viruses filter.
Enteric viruses are tiny pathogens that can get into water when human or animal waste reaches a source. Because they’re invisible to the eye, water that looks clear in a City Point home could still carry risk. These concerns most often come up with private wells, following flooding, or after breaks in a distribution system, but any homeowner in our area can benefit from understanding the issue. If you’re worried about viruses in your water, a professional test is the best way to know whether they’re present.
Viral contamination isn’t something you can reliably detect by smell, taste, or sight, and levels can fluctuate depending on upstream conditions. That unpredictability is one reason many City Point homeowners choose whole-home protection so water is treated where it enters the house, covering kitchens, bathrooms, laundry and showers rather than relying on a single faucet device.
For enteric viruses, the single most effective whole-house option is ultraviolet (UV) disinfection mounted at the main service line. UV inactivates microorganisms as water flows past a high-intensity lamp inside a sealed chamber, treating every gallon that enters your City Point home without altering taste. When a UV unit is sized to match your household flow rate, it keeps disinfection consistent even during periods of higher demand.
UV systems perform best when the water is clear, so proper pretreatment is important — especially in coastal Florida areas like City Point where hard, mineral-rich groundwater can cause scale or cloudiness. That’s why UV is commonly paired with a sediment prefilter to protect the chamber and preserve flow. Regular upkeep — replacing the lamp on schedule and cleaning the quartz sleeve — keeps the system working reliably; with correct installation and maintenance, UV offers a straightforward whole-house approach without adding chemicals at the tap.
