Including filter system and high-performance Pseudomonas filter.
Pseudomonas is a group of bacteria that can appear in household water when conditions let it survive and grow. One type, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is known for creating slimy biofilms on damp surfaces and inside plumbing parts, which makes it tougher to wash away than many other microbes. You might first spot recurring odors, a slippery film, or buildup around faucets, showerheads, or aerators in your Craggs home when flow is low or water sits in pipes.
Because Pseudomonas commonly hides in biofilms, treating it isn’t always a one-off fix. It can persist in faucet screens, hoses, humid spots, and plumbing areas where disinfectant levels are low. Homeowners with sensitive skin often want cleaner water for bathing and everyday use. If you’re worried about Pseudomonas in your Craggs water, taking a whole-home approach helps reduce exposure at every tap throughout the house.
For whole-house removal, the single most effective filter is a UV (ultraviolet) disinfection system mounted where water enters the home. UV inactivates microbes as water flows through the UV chamber without adding chemicals, making it a good match for bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Because it treats all incoming water, a properly sized UV unit helps protect you during showering, tooth brushing, and washing in your Craggs residence — just be sure the system is matched to your home’s flow rate and water clarity.
A UV unit is usually installed with a sediment prefilter to prevent particles from shading organisms from the light; the UV lamp is the main technology that controls microbes. With correct installation and routine lamp and quartz sleeve maintenance, UV delivers consistent whole-house treatment without altering taste or odor. If biofilm from Pseudomonas has built up in fixtures, cleaning or replacing aerators and showerheads after adding UV will help; Mr. Pure Water can advise on a whole-house UV system sized for Craggs homes so treated water reaches every bathroom, kitchen, and hose bib.
