Including filter system and high-performance Enterococci filter.
Enterococci are bacteria that can appear when water sources are affected by environmental contamination, and you won’t be able to spot them by taste, smell, or sight. Even clear water can carry these microorganisms, which are commonly used as indicators of possible fecal contamination—so they matter for household water safety. If your Betts home uses a private well, regular testing is especially important to know what’s in your water and whether treatment is needed.
As a Betts homeowner, your priority is simple: keep bacteria out of the water you drink, cook with, and bathe in. Enterococci can get into domestic supplies through events like surface water intrusion, flooding of wells, damaged well caps, or plumbing conditions that allow contaminants inside. Even short-term problems can make everyday water use uncertain, so treating the water at the point it enters your Betts house helps restore confidence at every faucet and appliance.
The most effective single filter for reducing enterococci is a whole-house ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system mounted on the main water line. Rather than trapping bacteria, UV inactivates microorganisms as water flows past the lamp chamber, preventing them from reproducing. Treating all incoming water means every shower, tap, and machine in your Betts home benefits—not just a single outlet—making UV a practical whole-home choice when bacterial contamination is a concern.
For UV disinfection to work well, Betts water needs to be clear enough for the light to penetrate, since heavy sediment or turbidity can reduce effectiveness. Many homes combine a prefilter for grit and cloudiness with the UV unit, while the UV remains the primary single treatment targeting enterococci. Correct sizing for your household flow and routine lamp and sleeve maintenance keep disinfection dependable, offering continuous, chemical-free protection at the point of entry.
