Including filter system and high-performance Enteric Viruses filter.
Enteric viruses are tiny infectious agents that can get into drinking water when human or animal waste reaches a source. Because they’re invisible, your water may look fine while still posing a potential risk. In Navy Point households, whether you draw from a private well or a municipal supply, it helps to be aware of this possibility. If you have concerns about viruses in your home water, a professional test is the best way to know for sure.
Viral contamination can’t be judged by taste, smell, or appearance, and levels may fluctuate with conditions upstream or after heavy rainfall. That variability is why many Navy Point homeowners prefer a whole-house strategy that treats water as it enters the property, delivering consistent protection to kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and showers rather than relying on point-of-use devices alone.
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 heading to your taps without altering taste. When sized for your home’s peak flow, a UV unit gives steady disinfection even during times of higher demand in Navy Point residences.
UV systems perform best when the water feeding them is clean and clear, so proper pretreatment is important—sediment, cloudiness or staining minerals can block UV light and reduce effectiveness. That’s why we often pair a UV unit with a sediment prefilter and recommend routine upkeep like lamp replacement and quartz sleeve cleaning. With correct installation and maintenance, UV provides Navy Point homeowners a reliable, chemical-free whole-house approach to addressing viral concerns.
