Including filter system and high-performance Enteric Viruses filter.
Enteric viruses are tiny infectious agents that can enter drinking water when human or animal waste reaches a source. Because they’re invisible, water that looks clear in Midway can still pose a risk, so visual checks won’t tell the whole story. While these viruses are often a concern for private wells, flood-affected areas, or when distribution lines are compromised, any Midway homeowner can benefit from learning about them. If you suspect an issue, having your water tested is the best way to know whether enteric viruses are present.
You can’t rely on smell or appearance to reveal viral contamination — taste and odor checks won’t find enteric viruses. Because contamination can vary over time depending on upstream conditions, a single sample or event may not represent ongoing risk. That uncertainty leads many Midway residents to choose a whole-home solution that treats water at the main inlet so kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, and showers all receive consistent protection rather than treating just one faucet.
For tackling enteric viruses at the whole-house level, ultraviolet (UV) disinfection installed at the main service line is the most effective single-treatment option. UV systems in Midway work by exposing flowing water to an intense UV lamp inside a sealed chamber, inactivating microorganisms without altering water taste. Because the unit treats every gallon entering your home, it protects all taps, and when sized correctly for your household flow rate it maintains reliable disinfection even during peak demand.
UV units work best when installed correctly and paired with proper pretreatment, since cloudy water, sediment, or mineral staining can block UV light and reduce effectiveness. That’s why UV is commonly combined with a sediment prefilter to keep the chamber clear and preserve steady flow for Midway homes. Regular upkeep — including lamp replacement and cleaning the quartz sleeve — is required to keep performance optimal. With the right pretreatment and maintenance, UV provides a straightforward whole-house option to address viral concerns without adding chemicals at the tap.
