Including filter system and high-performance Enterovirus filter.
Enterovirus refers to a family of viruses that can reach household water when sources are impacted by human wastewater, sewer overflows, or failing septic systems. Because these viruses are invisible to the eye, water that looks clear in Green Point can still carry risk. The primary exposure route is swallowing contaminated water — through drinking, making ice, or brushing teeth — so homeowners should focus on preventing viruses from reaching the tap in the first place.
Municipal and private systems rely on disinfection to limit microbes, but conditions can change between source water, distribution lines, and a home's internal plumbing. Events like heavy storms, line work, or other disruptions can increase microbial risk and lead to added treatments at the point where water enters the property. If enterovirus is a concern for your Green Point residence, consider a strategy that goes beyond taste and odor — a whole-house solution protects every faucet, shower, and appliance in the home.
For controlling enterovirus, the most effective single filter-style option is a whole-house ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system installed at the home's main water entry. Rather than straining viruses out like a sediment cartridge, UV inactivates them by exposing flowing water to a calibrated UV lamp and dose, making it suitable for microorganisms far smaller than typical filter pores. When a unit is properly sized for your home's flow and maintained, UV treats water without altering its taste.
UV systems perform best when water is clear enough for light to pass through, so they’re commonly paired with simple prefiltration to remove sediment and cloudiness that can shield microbes. The important steps are selecting a UV unit rated for whole-house flow, keeping the lamp replaced on schedule, and ensuring consistent power. Mr. Pure Water can help Green Point homeowners choose and install the right point-of-entry UV system so enterovirus control covers every tap and appliance in the house.
