Including filter system and high-performance Giardia filter.
Giardia is a microscopic parasite that can enter drinking water as tough, cyst-forming stages; you may also see it called Giardia intestinalis or Giardia lamblia. Because the cysts are tiny and colorless, they won’t change the taste, smell, or look of your water, so homeowners in Betts can’t rely on senses alone. That’s why many local residents choose added protection where water enters the house to reduce the chance those organisms reach taps and appliances.
Water systems can become exposed to contaminants through things like compromised pipes, cross-connections, or runoff that challenges treatment processes. Even after standard treatment, some Betts households prefer an extra barrier—especially when family members are sensitive to water issues. A whole-house solution treats every shower, faucet, and appliance the same, giving Betts homeowners consistent protection and greater peace of mind at the point where water enters the plumbing.
For whole-house protection against Giardia, the most reliable single filter type is a cyst-rated absolute membrane filter. These systems use a physical, fine-pore barrier to strain out Giardia cysts instead of depending solely on chemicals. When selected to match your home’s flow rate, a properly sized membrane can protect multiple fixtures simultaneously, providing a straightforward mechanical defense for Betts homes against cysts reaching your taps.
Installed on the main water line, a whole-house membrane filter gives every drop into your Betts home the same level of protection. Performance hinges on choosing the correct micron rating and maintaining the unit so flow and filtration remain steady. Many systems include an upstream prefilter to capture large sediment and extend the membrane’s life, while the membrane stage is what does the work against Giardia intestinalis and Giardia lamblia.
