Including filter system and high-performance Giardia filter.
Giardia is a tiny parasite that can enter water in the form of durable cysts; you may also see it called Giardia intestinalis or Giardia lamblia. Because those cysts are microscopic they won’t change the taste, smell, or look of water, so homeowners in Green Point can’t rely on senses to notice it. That’s why many people choose an extra layer of protection at the point where water comes into the house.
Water can become exposed to contaminants through compromised plumbing, backflow events, or runoff that affects treatment — situations that can concern families anywhere, including Green Point. Even when your supply is treated, some households prefer an additional barrier for peace of mind, particularly if someone at home is sensitive to water quality. A whole-house system treats every shower, faucet, and appliance the same, giving Green Point homeowners consistent protection throughout their plumbing.
For a single, highly effective whole-house solution against Giardia, a cyst-rated absolute membrane filter is the recommended choice. These systems remove Giardia cysts with a physical barrier of very fine pores instead of relying on chemicals alone. When sized to handle your household flow, an absolute membrane filter can protect all fixtures at once, providing a straightforward mechanical defense to reduce the chance of cysts reaching taps in Green Point homes.
A whole-house membrane filter works best when installed on the main service line so every drop entering a Green Point home passes through it. Because it’s a true barrier, its effectiveness depends on selecting the correct micron rating and keeping the unit maintained so flow and protection remain steady. Many setups include a prefilter upstream to capture larger sediment and extend membrane life, while the membrane stage targets Giardia intestinalis and Giardia lamblia; Mr. Pure Water can help size and match the system to your plumbing and household needs.
