Including filter system and high-performance Giardia filter.
Giardia is a tiny parasite that can enter water supplies as hardy cysts; you might also see it called Giardia intestinalis or Giardia lamblia. Because these organisms are microscopic, they won’t change the taste, smell, or look of your water, so many Hurlburt Field homeowners choose extra protection where water enters the house. A filtration barrier at the main line is a common way to reduce the risk of cysts moving through household plumbing.
Water can become exposed to contaminants through events like pipe issues, cross-connections, or runoff that challenge treatment systems. Even in treated systems, residents around Hurlburt Field sometimes want an added layer of defense—especially if someone in the home is sensitive to waterborne illness. A whole-house solution ensures showers, faucets, and appliances all receive the same protection, giving families local peace of mind about what comes through their plumbing.
For treating Giardia at the whole-house level, the single most effective option is an absolute, cyst-rated membrane filter. These filters use a true physical barrier with very small pores to strain out Giardia cysts rather than depending on chemicals. When the membrane is properly sized to your home’s flow, it can cover every fixture without gaps in protection—an efficient mechanical approach for Hurlburt Field properties.
A whole-house membrane filter is installed on the main water line so all incoming water to a Hurlburt Field home passes through the barrier. Performance hinges on selecting the correct micron rating and keeping the system maintained so flow and protection remain steady. Some homeowners add a prefilter upstream to catch larger sediment and extend membrane life, while the membrane stage handles Giardia intestinalis and Giardia lamblia; Mr. Pure Water can size and match the system to your plumbing and household needs.
