Including filter system and high-performance Enterococci filter.
Enterococci are bacteria that can appear in household water when sources face environmental contamination. Because they’re microscopic you won’t detect them by smell, taste, or sight—water in Woods can look clear yet still carry microbial concerns. These organisms are commonly used as indicators of possible fecal contamination, so they’re relevant to your family’s water safety. If your Woods home uses a private well, regular testing is the best way to know what’s in your supply.
Homeowners want reliable, safe water for drinking, cooking, and bathing, and keeping bacteria out is key. Enterococci can get into your plumbing through events like surface water intrusion, flooding of a well, damaged well caps, or plumbing conditions that allow contamination to enter. Even short-term problems can leave you unsure about using water around the house. Treating water where it enters your Woods home can help ensure every faucet and appliance delivers cleaner water.
The single most effective filter for removing enterococci is a whole-house ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system installed on the main water line. UV systems don’t filter out particles like a media cartridge; they inactivate microorganisms as water flows past the UV lamp chamber, preventing reproduction. Because a whole-house UV unit treats all incoming water, it protects every sink, shower, and appliance in your Woods residence rather than treating just one point of use, making it a practical solution when bacterial contamination is a concern.
For UV disinfection to work well, incoming water must be clear enough for the light to penetrate—heavy sediment or cloudiness can reduce effectiveness. Many Woods homeowners pair a sediment prefilter with the UV unit to remove grit and turbidity, while the UV serves as the primary treatment for enterococci. Correct sizing to match your home’s flow rate and routine lamp and sleeve maintenance are important to maintain reliable disinfection. With an appropriately designed system, UV offers continuous, chemical-free protection at the point of entry.
