Including filter system and high-performance Protozoa filter.
Protozoa are tiny living organisms that can enter water when sources are affected by surface runoff, wildlife, or treatment interruptions — situations not uncommon around Jones Landing. Homeowners may recognize names like Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Because protozoa are particulate organisms rather than dissolved chemicals, they behave differently in plumbing and won’t be removed by every filter type. Effective protection depends on physically removing these organisms from your water.
In Jones Landing, homeowners often worry about protozoa after events like boil-water advisories, heavy storms, main breaks, or when relying on a private well. These microscopic organisms can appear intermittently, so the problem may seem to come and go from week to week. Sometimes you’ll see cloudiness or extra sediment, but protozoa aren’t always visible and usually don’t change taste or smell. A whole-house solution protects showers, sinks, laundry and appliances as well as your kitchen tap, giving household-wide coverage for peace of mind in our humid subtropical climate.
For whole-house reduction of protozoa, the best single-filter solution is a properly sized mechanical sediment filter with an absolute micron rating appropriate for protozoan cysts. In practice that means an absolute 1-micron (or finer) filter that strains particles instead of relying on chemical adsorption. This approach targets the size range of Giardia and Cryptosporidium, capturing them as water flows through the cartridge. When installed at the point of entry, it helps prevent protozoa from reaching any tap in your Jones Landing home.
Because these fine mechanical filters trap very small particles, correct sizing for your home’s flow rate and routine cartridge replacement are important to keep performance steady. If your supply carries heavier sediment, adding a coarser prefilter upstream can reduce clogging and preserve pressure. While disinfection has a role in microbial control, a micron-rated barrier filter is a reliable, straightforward way to lower protozoa throughout the house. Mr. Pure Water can size and install the right whole-house housing and cartridges to suit your Jones Landing home and maintain protection at every tap.
