Including filter system and high-performance Mycobacteria filter.
Mycobacteria are a family of naturally occurring bacteria found in water and damp places, and they can persist inside plumbing lines and fixtures where moisture and biofilm accumulate. In Tiger Point houses, these organisms — including Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium intracellulare — may cling to low-flow areas and remain after routine flushing. When homeowners in our area want extra protection, treating the water where it enters the home is a common and effective option.
These organisms can tolerate some disinfectants better than many familiar bacteria, which is why they sometimes prove difficult to manage in residential plumbing. You may see names like Mycobacterium abscessus, Mycobacterium fortuitum, and Mycobacterium kansasii on test results or guidance documents. Because mycobacteria often live within biofilms, the best outcomes in Tiger Point homes combine good plumbing practices with a barrier-style filtration that limits what reaches showers, sinks, and appliances throughout the house.
For whole-house protection, the most effective single filter type for physically removing mycobacteria is an absolute-rated membrane barrier — for example, a whole-house ultrafiltration (UF) system. Ultrafiltration removes microorganisms by straining them out based on pore size instead of relying on chemistry, making it well suited for bacteria that resist disinfectants. When installed at the main water line in a Tiger Point home, a UF membrane treats water for every tap without altering how you use your plumbing.
Because mycobacteria can be linked with biofilm and particulate, UF systems perform best when properly sized and paired with prefiltration to reduce sediment load. Routine maintenance keeps flow steady and prevents bypass pathways that can appear if cartridges are overdue for service. While no single measure solves every water-quality issue, a membrane barrier is a straightforward way to reduce organisms such as Mycobacterium avium complex and Mycobacterium abscessus in Tiger Point homes, and Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house setup for your property.
