Including filter system and high-performance Pseudomonas filter.
Pseudomonas is a group of bacteria that can appear in household water when conditions let them survive and multiply. One species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, commonly forms slimy biofilms on damp surfaces and inside plumbing parts, making it harder to rinse away than many other microbes. In Frink homes that have low flow areas or standing water in pipes, you might notice recurring odors, a slippery film, or buildup around faucets, showerheads, and aerators as common first signs.
Because Pseudomonas often hides in biofilms, a single quick fix doesn’t always solve the problem. The bacteria can persist in faucet screens, hoses, humid spaces, and plumbing zones where disinfectant levels drop. Homeowners with sensitive skin or recurring fixture issues in Frink often choose to improve whole-house water hygiene so bathing, handwashing, and cleaning aren’t impacted. If you’re worried about unhealthy levels of Pseudomonas in your water supply, addressing every tap with a whole-home strategy is a practical next step.
For whole-house protection against Pseudomonas, the most effective single-filter option is a UV (ultraviolet) disinfection system installed at the point where water enters your Frink home. UV inactivates microbes as water flows through the chamber and does so without adding chemicals, making it a good match for bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Because UV treats all incoming water, it helps reduce exposure during showering, toothbrushing, and washing; however, its effectiveness depends on water clarity and correctly sizing the unit to your household flow.
A UV unit is normally paired with a sediment prefilter to prevent particles from shading organisms from the UV light, while the UV lamp is the primary microbial control. With proper installation and regular lamp and sleeve maintenance, UV gives consistent whole-house treatment without altering taste or odor. After adding UV in a Frink home, cleaning or replacing aerators and showerheads can help remove existing biofilm in fixtures. Mr. Pure Water can help size and recommend a whole-house UV system so treated water reaches every bathroom, kitchen, and hose bib in your home.
