Including filter system and high-performance Giardia filter.
Giardia is a tiny parasite that can enter a water supply when resilient cysts get in. You might also see it called Giardia intestinalis or Giardia lamblia; regardless of name, the issue is the same — microscopic organisms that can travel with your water and into the house. Because cysts are invisible, you won’t detect them by taste, smell, or sight, which is why many Franjo homeowners choose an extra layer of protection where water first enters the property.
Everyday events like pipe problems, cross-connections, or runoff can introduce contaminants and affect treatment effectiveness. Even when municipal treatment is in place, some households in Franjo prefer an added barrier for peace of mind, especially when family members are sensitive to water quality. A whole-house system treats every shower, faucet, and appliance the same way, giving local homeowners consistent protection throughout their plumbing.
For whole-house protection against Giardia, the most reliable single option is a cyst-rated absolute membrane filter. These filters work as a physical barrier with ultra-fine pores that strain out Giardia cysts instead of depending only on chemicals. When the membrane is properly sized to match a Franjo home’s flow demands, it can protect multiple fixtures simultaneously and minimize gaps in coverage — a simple, mechanical method to reduce the chance of cysts reaching your taps.
A membrane-based whole-house filter performs best when installed on the main water line so all incoming water for your Franjo home passes through it. Because it’s a true barrier, effectiveness depends on selecting the correct micron rating and keeping the unit maintained to preserve flow and protection. Many systems include a prefilter ahead of the membrane to capture larger sediment and extend membrane life, but the membrane stage is the critical defense for Giardia intestinalis and Giardia lamblia.
