Including filter system and high-performance HPC Bacteria filter.
HPC bacteria are a varied group of microbes that can live in water and inside household plumbing; you may also see them called heterotrophic plate count. That lab term refers to a way of estimating overall bacterial growth rather than a single pathogen. In Union Park homes, these results often point to conditions that let bacteria flourish — for example, you might notice slimy buildup on showerheads or faucets, musty smells, or faster biofilm formation inside fixtures.
Heterotrophic plate count can increase when water sits in pipes, when sediment or organic material is present, or when plumbing allows biofilm to form. Those same issues can affect taste or odor, especially in humid climates like ours in the Orlando/Orange County area. Many heterotrophic bacteria aren’t classified as disease-causing, but higher HPC levels signal that your household water system could use attention. Treating water at the point it enters a Union Park home helps limit conditions that let regrowth occur downstream.
The most effective single-filter whole-house option for addressing HPC bacteria is a UV disinfection system. UV works by passing water through a stainless chamber where a UV lamp inactivates microorganisms as the water flows by. Because it disinfects in real time without adding chemicals, UV can help control heterotrophic plate count concerns while leaving your water’s taste unchanged. Installed at the main line into your Union Park residence, a properly sized UV unit protects every tap, shower, and appliance.
For UV to perform reliably, the feed water must be clear enough for light to penetrate — heavy sediment, iron, or cloudiness can shield microbes from the lamp. That’s why UV systems are commonly paired with prefiltration ahead of the stainless chamber; the UV stage remains the key technology targeting HPC bacteria. Correct sizing for your home’s flow rate and regular lamp and sleeve maintenance keep the system effective. Mr. Pure Water can assess Union Park homes — considering local hard groundwater and potential mineral buildup — and recommend the right whole-house UV setup and prefilter combination.
