Including filter system and high-performance Norovirus filter.
Norovirus is a very contagious virus that commonly causes sudden stomach and bowel illness. When it appears in water supplies, the cause is often sewage intrusion or a breakdown in treatment or distribution rather than something normally present in drinking water. Because the virus is microscopic, you won’t detect it by taste, smell, or appearance, so Pace homeowners usually learn of a risk from a local advisory or a private microbial water test.
Contamination can happen when sanitation systems fail — for example during line repairs, pressure drops, or problems with wells and septic systems — turning water into a potential exposure route. While norovirus more often spreads between people or via food handling, water is central to everyday tasks like drinking, brushing teeth, making ice, and washing dishes. That’s why many families in Pace choose a home-wide barrier instead of just a single faucet device, so treated water reaches kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry without exception.
For norovirus, the single most effective home treatment is a whole-house ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system. Rather than filtering out particles, UV delivers germicidal light inside a sealed chamber to inactivate viruses as water passes through. Properly sized and maintained, UV provides continuous virus control without chemicals and is well suited for Pace homeowners who want protection where water first enters the house.
UV systems perform best when incoming water is clear enough for light to penetrate, since heavy sediment or cloudiness can reduce effectiveness. That’s why whole-house installations often include a sediment prefilter before the UV stage, allowing the disinfection unit to work reliably while keeping the system focused on viral inactivation. Mr. Pure Water can size a UV system for your Pace home’s flow so showers, appliances, and multiple bathrooms stay disinfected; with routine lamp changes and basic maintenance, UV offers dependable whole-home protection against norovirus concerns.
