Including filter system and high-performance Enteric Viruses filter.
Enteric viruses are tiny infectious agents that can get into water when human or animal waste reaches a source. Because they’re invisible, water that looks clear in a Riomar home can still carry risk. While these viruses are often linked with private wells, flood events, or breaks in distribution lines, any household in the Jacksonville metro area can benefit from knowing the issue and considering testing if you have concerns about your water.
You usually can’t rely on sight or smell to tell whether viruses are present, and contamination can vary over time depending on conditions upstream. That unpredictability leads many Riomar homeowners to choose a whole-home solution that treats water where it enters the house so kitchens, bathrooms, laundry and showers all receive consistent protection rather than treating a single faucet.
For enteric viruses, the single most effective whole-house option is ultraviolet (UV) disinfection installed on the main water line. UV systems in a sealed chamber inactivate microorganisms as water flows past a high-intensity lamp, treating every gallon that enters your Riomar home without altering taste. A correctly sized UV unit is matched to your home’s peak flow so it continues to disinfect during high-demand periods.
UV systems perform best when water is clear, so proper pretreatment matters—especially in the Jacksonville area where moderate mineral content can contribute to scale and summer heat and humidity can encourage biofilm in plumbing. That’s why we commonly pair UV with a sediment prefilter to protect the chamber and keep flow steady. Regular maintenance, including lamp changes and cleaning the quartz sleeve, keeps the system reliable; with the right pretreatment and care, UV offers a straightforward whole-house option without adding chemicals at the tap.
