Including filter system and high-performance Giardia filter.
Giardia is a tiny parasite that can appear in water when resistant cysts enter a supply; you may also see it called Giardia intestinalis or Giardia lamblia. Because the organism is microscopic it won’t change the taste, smell, or look of your water, so many Tiger Point homeowners choose added protection where water first comes into the house. A filtration barrier at the point of entry gives predictable coverage across all taps and appliances.
Water can be exposed to contamination from things like compromised piping, cross-connections, or runoff that challenges treatment, and even treated systems sometimes prompt homeowners to want an extra layer of defense. In Tiger Point, a whole-house strategy ensures showers, faucets, and laundry all receive the same level of protection—useful for families who prefer greater control over what flows through their plumbing.
The single most effective whole-house option for addressing Giardia is a cyst-rated absolute membrane filter. These systems remove Giardia cysts with a very fine physical barrier rather than depending on chemicals, and when sized correctly for your home’s flow they protect multiple fixtures at once. It’s a straightforward mechanical solution that reduces the chance cysts reach your taps in Tiger Point.
For best results, install the whole-house membrane filter on the main service line so every drop entering your Tiger Point home passes through it. The membrane’s performance depends on the correct micron rating and routine maintenance to keep flow and protection steady; many homes add a prefilter upstream to trap larger sediment and extend membrane life. Mr. Pure Water can help size and match a system to your plumbing and household demand for optimal protection against Giardia intestinalis and Giardia lamblia.
