Including filter system and high-performance Enteric Viruses filter.
Enteric viruses are tiny pathogens that can enter drinking water when human or animal waste reaches a source. Because they’re invisible, water in Lowry can look clear yet still carry risk. These viruses are often a concern with private wells, flooding events, or breaks in distribution lines, but homeowners everywhere benefit from knowing about them. If you suspect an issue, having your water tested is the best way to determine whether enteric viruses are part of your home’s water quality picture.
Viral contamination isn’t like a bad taste or smell—you usually can’t detect it by sight or scent. Levels can also fluctuate with upstream conditions, so a single observation won’t tell the full story for Lowry homeowners. That unpredictability leads many local families to choose a whole-house strategy that treats incoming water before it reaches kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, and showers. Treating at the point of entry helps deliver consistent protection throughout the home rather than only at one faucet.
For enteric viruses, the most effective single whole-house option is ultraviolet (UV) disinfection installed on the main service line. UV systems in Lowry work by exposing passing water to intense UV light inside a sealed chamber, inactivating microorganisms without adding chemicals or changing taste. Because a properly sized UV unit treats every gallon entering the house, it provides coverage at all taps and showers and is sized around your home’s flow rate to maintain disinfection during higher demand.
UV units perform best when installed correctly and paired with good pretreatment, since cloudiness, sediment, or staining minerals can block UV light. That’s why we commonly pair UV with a sediment prefilter for Lowry homes—to keep the chamber clear and preserve steady flow. Regular maintenance is also required: periodic lamp replacement and cleaning the quartz sleeve are necessary to keep the system effective. With the right pretreatment and upkeep, UV offers a simple whole-house approach to addressing viral concerns without relying on chemicals at the tap.
