Including filter system and high-performance Giardia filter.
Giardia is a tiny parasite that can enter water supplies as resilient cysts; you might also see it named Giardia intestinalis or Giardia lamblia. Because the organisms are microscopic, they won’t change taste, smell, or appearance, so homeowners in Lakewood often choose added treatment where water enters the house. A point-of-entry barrier gives visible peace of mind by stopping particles too small to detect from circulating through household plumbing.
Everyday events like pipe issues, plumbing cross-connections, or runoff can challenge water treatment, and many Lakewood residents prefer an extra safeguard even when their water is treated. A whole-house system treats every faucet, shower and appliance the same, which is especially useful for families who want consistent protection throughout their home. For Lakewood properties that value control over what flows through their pipes, this layered approach is a practical upgrade.
For whole-house protection against Giardia, the most reliable single option is an absolute cyst-rated membrane filter. These systems provide a physical, fine-pored barrier that strains out Giardia cysts rather than depending solely on chemicals. When the membrane is properly sized for your home’s peak flow, it can safeguard multiple fixtures simultaneously and avoid coverage gaps — a straightforward mechanical solution to reduce the chance of cysts reaching Lakewood taps.
A membrane filter intended for Giardia performs best when installed on the main service line so all incoming water is filtered before it reaches your plumbing. Effectiveness depends on choosing the correct micron rating and keeping the unit maintained so flow and protection remain steady; many Lakewood homeowners also add a sediment prefilter upstream to reduce wear on the membrane. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Lakewood plumbing and household demand to recommend the right membrane system and installation approach.
