Including filter system and high-performance Giardia filter.
Giardia is a tiny parasite that can be carried into household water supplies as hardy cysts; you might also see it called Giardia intestinalis or Giardia lamblia. Because these organisms are invisible, they won’t change the taste, smell, or look of your water, so many Baker homeowners choose extra protection at the point where water enters the house.
Water can become exposed to contamination through events like pipe problems, cross-connections, or runoff that challenge treatment systems. Even with treated water, some families in Baker prefer an additional barrier for peace of mind—especially if someone in the household is sensitive to water quality. A whole-house system ensures the same level of protection for every faucet, shower, and appliance throughout your home.
The single most effective whole-house filter type for addressing Giardia is a cyst-rated absolute membrane filter. These use a fine physical barrier to strain out Giardia cysts rather than depending on chemicals, and when sized correctly for your home’s flow they provide continuous coverage to multiple fixtures without gaps.
Installed on the main water line, a whole-house membrane filter gives Baker homes a true barrier against cysts when the proper micron rating is used and the unit is maintained. Many systems include an upstream prefilter to remove larger sediment and extend membrane life, while the membrane stage targets Giardia intestinalis and Giardia lamblia; Mr. Pure Water can help select and size the right system for your plumbing and household demand.
