Including filter system and high-performance Giardia filter.
Giardia is a tiny parasite that can enter water supplies as hardy cysts; you might also hear it called Giardia intestinalis or Giardia lamblia. Because the organism is microscopic, it won’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of your water, so many Lois homeowners choose extra protection where water first comes into the house. A properly selected whole-house barrier helps stop cysts from moving through plumbing and into showers, faucets, and appliances.
Water can become exposed to contaminants through things like aging pipes, cross-connections, or runoff that challenges treatment systems. Even with municipal or private treatment, some families in Lois prefer an added layer of defense—especially if someone in the household is sensitive to waterborne organisms. A whole-house solution treats all incoming water so every fixture and appliance in your Florida home receives the same consistent level of protection and peace of mind.
The single most effective whole-house filter type for addressing Giardia is an absolute, cyst-rated membrane filter. These systems remove cysts with a physical, fine-pored barrier rather than depending solely on chemicals, so they strain Giardia out of the water stream. When the membrane is sized to handle your home’s flow, it provides continuous protection to multiple fixtures without leaving untreated gaps—an uncomplicated, mechanical approach for reducing the risk of cysts in Lois tap water.
A whole-house membrane filter works best when placed on the main water line so all incoming water to your Lois residence passes through the barrier. Performance relies on choosing the correct micron rating and keeping the unit maintained so flow and protection remain steady. Many installations include an upstream prefilter to catch larger sediment and extend membrane life, while the membrane stage is the critical line of defense against Giardia intestinalis and Giardia lamblia.
