Including filter system and high-performance Pseudomonas filter.
Pseudomonas is a family of bacteria that can persist in household plumbing when conditions allow growth. Pseudomonas aeruginosa in particular often creates slimy biofilms on damp surfaces and inside pipes or fixtures, which makes it harder to wash away than many other microbes. In homes around Century, you might first notice recurring odors, a slippery film, or buildup on faucets, showerheads, and aerators where water lingers or flow is low.
Because Pseudomonas commonly lives in biofilms, addressing it can require more than a single cleaning—these bacteria hide in faucet screens, hoses, humid spots, and plumbing areas with low disinfectant levels. Homeowners who experience skin sensitivity or regular fixture fouling often choose to improve whole-house water hygiene for bathing and everyday use. If you’re worried about unhealthy levels of Pseudomonas in your Century water, a homewide strategy helps reduce exposure at every tap.
The most effective single-filter option for whole-house control of Pseudomonas is a UV (ultraviolet) disinfection system installed at the main water entry to your home. UV inactivates microbes as water flows through the chamber without adding chemicals, making it well suited to target bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and protect showering, brushing, and washing water. Because UV performance relies on water clarity and correct sizing for your household flow, it’s important to choose a unit that matches your home’s needs.
A UV unit is usually paired with a sediment prefilter to prevent particles from shading organisms from the light, while the UV lamp provides the core microbial treatment. With professional installation and scheduled lamp and sleeve maintenance, UV delivers consistent whole-house protection without altering taste or odor. If biofilm from Pseudomonas has appeared in fixtures, cleaning or replacing aerators and showerheads after UV installation helps too — Mr. Pure Water can recommend a Century-appropriate whole-house UV setup so treated water reaches every bathroom, kitchen, and hose bib.
