Including filter system and high-performance Enterococci filter.
Enterococci are bacteria that can appear in water when local sources experience environmental contamination. As microorganisms, you won’t be able to detect them by taste, smell, or sight — water can look clear in a Hanson kitchen and still be affected. Because enterococci are commonly used as indicators of possible fecal contamination, they’re an important consideration for household water quality. If your Hanson property relies on a private well, routine testing is especially important to know what’s in your water.
For Hanson homeowners the aim is straightforward: keep harmful bacteria out of the water you drink, cook with, and bathe in. Enterococci may get into a home’s supply through events like surface water intrusion, well flooding, compromised well caps, or plumbing conditions that allow contamination. Even short-lived problems can leave you unsure about using water around the house. Treating water where it enters your Hanson home helps protect every tap and restores confidence in daily water use.
The single most effective filter type for removing enterococci is a whole-house ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system installed on the main water line. UV doesn’t trap bacteria like a media filter; it inactivates microorganisms as water flows through the lamp chamber so they can’t reproduce. Because it treats all incoming water, a UV whole-house system protects every faucet, shower, and appliance in your Hanson home rather than just one fixture, making it a practical solution when bacterial contamination is a concern.
UV works best when water is clear enough for light to penetrate, so heavy sediment or cloudiness can reduce effectiveness; many Hanson homes pair a prefilter for grit and turbidity with the UV unit. The UV system remains the single primary treatment targeted at enterococci, and proper sizing to your home’s flow rate plus regular lamp and sleeve maintenance keeps disinfection consistent. With the right configuration, UV provides continuous, chemical-free protection against bacteria at the point of entry for your Hanson house.
